Investing. Which rims are you using? I’m on 25 internal and I get a decent
amount of deflection. I’d run wider rims if I could figure out where to
find wider rims and if I could figure out the braking. Disc brakes would
obviously solve the issue.

@Nick, thank you so much for the pictures! That looks like a blast to ride!
I have a 59 Lime Olive frameset that was picked up by my mother in law

Excited to build it up! I was looking at that exact tire but went for som

What non drop bars are you considering? The Alt-Bars that are out there
seem to work well. At least for me. I have a set of early Jones titanium
H-Bars with the J bend on my Waterford 1400 mountain bike and a set of
Surly Open Bars on the Gary Fisher Gemini tandem mounted on the front.
I saw others' posts about >2.35" tires on their Clems, so I extend the same
questions to all.
If I get a Clem I'll use -- what should I call them? Road tires?
Non-knobbies? -- durable +/- 60 mm near-slicks for decent pavement rolling
as well as decent sand float. I used the Big Apple for years and
Nick: As a potential Clem buyer I'm curious to know whether your wheels are
650c or 700c or 559 bsd, and (#2) how wide the 2.6" tires actually measure
on your rims ... *and* how wide those rims are, whether IW or OW.
I think a great deal of buying a Clem; 2 things make me hesitate (well, 3
things:
I am running tubeless 2.5" Teravail Ehline tires on my 54cm (medium) Gus. I
enjoy the tubeless setup because when I ride local mtb trails I typically
drop the pressure down to 20-24 lbs psi. without worry of pinching, and it
allows for a cushy ride. Then, I'll inflate them back up to 32-35 psi for
That Clem with 2.6 looks great Nick! How tight are they? I had the 2.5”
Ehline tires on my Susie and had lots of frame clearance, but my tire was
almost rubbing my brake cables. I think the posts were welded too low on
the frame I had though because I’ve seen others with lots of clearance with

definitely going wider and tubeless soon! I just switched to an indexed
Microshift shifter and I think it’s going to help hugely in single track.

This is exactly why I set my Gus up 1x11 with a Microshift indexed thumbie. Normally I prefer friction, but I don’t really want to fiddle with trimming shifts on a trail ride.BrianLex KY On Aug 24, 2024, at 1:58 PM, NYCbikeguy wrote:dross,I'm a bit ambivalent with friction shifting too!The only f
dross,
I'm a bit ambivalent with friction shifting too!
The only friction shifters I will universally use is for the front
derailleur. I got myself some high quality 9s XTR m970 rear shifters,
coupled with rapid rise XTRs of different generations (m950-m970) on
several rivs and they all shift l
Agree 100% with " Friction shifting is a cruel mistress. I found myself
hesitating to shift, worried I’d miss a gear while ascending, so I sort of
grunted it out in a select few gears. It’s the only ride I’ve been on in a
while that made me lust for indexed shifting."
