Hey Tom, Thanks for the love! So glad to hear you're also aboard a 60cm mermaid, dreamy aren't they? I was able to squeeze what I believe are the VO 63mm fluted fenders over the 2.1's on my wife's Platypus with just a hair of room, so I'd think the 50mm GravelKing's would fit nicely under

Hi Jared, Love your Platypus. I have a mermaid 60cm that I am smitten with. How much room for fenders over the 50cm gravel kings? What is your gearing on the 3x1 setup? I am running 1x10 now, but I ride a lot of single speed and some fixed gear on other bikes. The way mine rides, it seems to

Thanks everyone for chiming in, much appreciated! Mack, can't wait to see your spin on the Susie. I'm not sure how much long the Kristofferson sticker will last, but I'm giving it my best! Kim, these tires are 700x50. My wife has 2.1's on her Platypus right now with sufficient clearance, and I

Hi Jared, What size Panaracer Gravel Kings are you running on your Platypus ? What is the maximum tire size you can run ? Asking for a friend, who owns a Platypus. Thank-you. Kim Hetzel Yelm, WA. On Sunday, January 22, 2023 at 6:22:35 PM UTC-8 penne...@gmail.com wrote: > I loved this

I loved this bike, and loved it 3x1 most of all. So glad that Jared is keeping the 3x1 Platy alive (along with many of its stickers, which is no small thing on account of the strange bunch I had on there). Such a great build! The northbound Susie will get here early next week. I'll get it

That's a fine bicycle, Jared! I did a 3x1 a few years ago and loved it, it taught me that I often downshift a rear cassette unnecessarily. 3 gears is enough! Joe Bernard On Sunday, January 22, 2023 at 3:55:01 PM UTC-8 Jared Wilson wrote: > Through various dealings the last year I worked my
