Who's going to the 2023 Nutmeg Country Spring Fling in May? I've never done it but this might be the year! It seems like I might actually be able to make the drive up from Boston. Debating which route to choose: ATB route with the fenderless Hunqa on 2.1" tubeless Thunderburts or Rando route wi

[RBW] WTB Large Rosco Baby in the next 12 months

Hi Everyone, We've got a little one on the way and I've started thinking about a bike for a Thule Yepp mini front seat without knee interference to ride next summer! I have pretty long legs for my 5'11" height - pbh of 90.5 so I always look for bikes with short-ish top tubes or use very short

Something else I have now started to realize is that cantilevers are more likely to rub against a handlebar bag. Are V-Brakes preferred for this reason? Laing, what stem are you using with the towel racks on the bombadil? Also, how wide did you go? I'm reconsidering my Riv Bullmoose choice and

FWIW I run Discord fingerling on my Hunqa with a 710 Jones Bar (it is 31.8) - this is no Bosco but the setup feels solid. To be fair, mine is a short 70m stem, not a super long reach. Here's the link, looks like they're sold out: https://analogcycles.com/products/discord-fingerling-stems Max

Thanks for sending that geo chart Garth! That makes more sense. You were close! I measured my Schwalbe tires and they are 44-45mm as installed on the velocity synergy rims. It's hard to gauge the true clearance of the frame without actually trying the wider tire, but I think 2.1 is ideal and an
