That is really well written. Sounds like an LA-centric type surprised to find something so interesting out there on the edge of civilization. But good natured enough about the whole experience to admit being under-equipped; either too light tires or not enough tubes. They sound like a fun

Awesome! I really talk it up here (SCAR, RBW) as I think it's a great all-rounder sort of a ride. Sorry if I go on too much/often... Rivendell bikes are absolutely perfect for it though, from the Rambouillet to the Hunq, they will all be fine. And I think the Riv-rider mentality is spot on for

Hi Ted, GREAT question! Short answer: either of those tires would be fine. Don't over think it! I've been all over the course with 32mm Eroicas, 40mm MSOs, Nan40, Thunder Burts, 2.25 Nobby Nics... you get the idea. Each one is a compromise, as the route is approximately 50/50 dirt/asphalt. Then

That won't happen. Now back to Strada Rossa. My plan is to ride my cheviot with hetres. So I ideally need to put slime in my tubes, right? And I'm guessing for someone that doesn't know what they are doing, that i should have lbs do that for me. I think Chuck can buy tubes for 700 with slime in

Those should be great. Any sort of fast 35mm CX tire will fit the bill. There are a few sections of sand, but I rode them with Challenge Eroicas (smooth 32mm) and while it sapped some energy, didn't stall me out. The rest is really hard pack. Minimal rocky sections. On Tue, Feb 16, 2016 at 2:02
