Official remember that time Blazedelf was talking about that thing that one time but can't find the thread, thread.

yeah, i have a little handlebar bag too (you actually saw it when you were here) - single layer xpac gets pretty floppy when used thoroughly and exposed to elements

102

Does it use Coroplast throughout? Is it damaged beyond “floppy” with rips?

103

No it’s just floppy. There are dirty creases and some delam that will eventually lead to separation.

104

I don’t see how it would matter if you use coroplast, which I have anyway in the big bertha bag. The durability: sure.

105

for what it’s worth, my cnavas bag is going very strong after 4 years of all weather commuting. I don’t know if it’s the be all end all, but that heavy ass weight does buy some durability.

What modelway Schwalbe tubes for 650x42? Do I bother with the 14a or just stick to the 12?

107

Jan really likes the SV14A, they’re thinner than any of the other sizes but the radius is just slightly small, it’s really a 559 tube

I’m a fan of the newer SV19A that they came out with after 27.5" became a thing

108

fred, is your elephant geo posted somewhere?

Axle to crown is 390? What’s the carbon fork drop in replacement you were thinking of Fred? I think that new carbon Ritchey disc fork that just came out is 395. Matters not?

111

closer to 395

the old Ritchey / Trigon corrected 26" fork is 415x50mm, slackening the angles about a degree and raising the BB about a cm

i can’t get bikecad to run on my pc. can someone screenshot it?

113

needs firefox. you on chrome?

114

tried both, it just freezes firefox for me lulz

115

I had to update Java, make sure I allowed it to run, and use Firefox to finally get Bikecad to run. PITA.

I’d like to see a photo from someone with bikecad pro, myself. Free doesn’t give you everythig, or at least I don’t know enough about bike geo to get a full picture from it.

116

bikecad in browser is such a fucking mess. When I get it to run I just don’t close that window ever.

117

ne1?

I have been riding the 650x42 jibbers on my coffeegrinder jobber. The kool aid is taking effect I think.

Blazedelf… I know we tarckbeef at times, but you’re alright.

119

I snoozed on the 650x42s on Boulder, despite Fred’s suggestion, and now they’re out of stock.
