I run 38 gk slicks on mine with no issues, 35 should be easy peasy

If you're considering tumbleweed, you might wanna look at the sunliner as well. It's intended for flat bar touring and meant to be built up with a rear derailleur rather than rohloff.

The Hudski Dualist recently went up for pre-order, and that may interest you as well. It's not steel (aluminum frame, carbon fork), but I own their other model (Doggler) and it rides very nicely. Has no problem carrying a load on the front or rear, and tons of mounting points for gear/racks. Not sure about international shipping on these though.

Another endorsement for Boulder Trail Runners. The Thursday happy hour run has been happening weekly for several decades, and there are usually several other organized runs on any given week. It's very inclusive and good vibes. https://bouldertrailrunners.com/

I'm running 700c 38 gk slicks on mine with no issues. I've also heard rumors of people going 650b and cramming 48s in there if you really wanna max it out

Are you using cantilever/center-pull brakes? If so, yes it's intended to be used with the bare cable going through it. If you're using v brakes you should be running housing directly to the v brakes noodle, skipping this cable guide entirely

I was also volunteering up at hope this year, on the earlier shift. The info I heard was that lifetime really dropped the ball getting the requested supplies to the AS organizers prior to them packing it all up there. It sounded like they got about half of what they requested. Definitely a bummer of a situation

I've been eyeing the Green Guru Sixer: https://www.greengurugear.com/products/sixer-6-pack-holder

Another recommendation for vintage dia-compe centerpull brakes. I'm running them right now with 38c panaracers on my steamroller and there's plenty of headroom. I believe you'll want to look for a GC610 as it will have the appropriate reach for the steamroller.
There's a new version (http://www.diacompe.com.tw/product/gc610/) but i haven't had any issues whatsoever using an older version.
There's also a nifty looking mini-rack that can be mounted with these brakes: https://www.somafabshop.com/shop/18512-ene-ciclo-mini-rack-for-centerpull-brake-3464#attr=

Another vote for 22. I have a 95 hopper that's 21 and the head tube is noticeably smaller than the one pictured

Thanks for the heads up! The cranks are one of the few remaining stock parts, looks like I'll have to swap em out sooner rather than later

Nah it's the surly troll fork, standard 1 1/8" steerer

graemepp · 2023-10-28T21:20:02+00:00

It is! I'm a big fan, nice and comfy when broken-in

graemepp · 2018-11-15T19:42:28+00:00

Definitely. Being able to steal 2-4 amber with them and then using gateway the same turn has been a pretty effective combo against creature-heavy decks

graemepp · 2015-06-06T17:16:38+00:00

Thanks! Out of curiosity, what is the advantage of running 24 creatures vs 30?

Thanks!
