Wow Henry, looking down at your front tire as you are tagging on to Justin takes me back to 1980! Thanks for the great videos

You ever ran soma Cazadero's? Just ordered a pair of 700x50mm for my gravel bike which has 47mm clearance but they are allegedly smaller than 50mm. Was running Challenge getaway pros which have great tread puncture resistance and very low rolling resistance but weak sidewalls. The sidewall ripped and it wouldn't seal, too much sharp rock here in central Oregon.

Yes, I have a set of 650bx50mm that I run sometimes. They run a little small, so you shouldn't have any problem fitting them if your bike clears a 47mm tire. The side walls are thin, like a Rene Herse standard casing, but the tread is a little thicker and longer lasting. I've had good luck with them. They track nice on the pavement too. I've noticed some of the wider slick tires are more prone to wandering. I like to run a Cazadero on the front and a slick on the back. For bike touring a full set of Cazadero's is nice. If you are interested, here's a video where we rode from Truckee to Sacramento on a dirt road riding Cazadero tires. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHW0pKR8Z72Ko80

My own and favorite bike scale is a digital scale from Rapala, the fishing lure people. It can sort both fishing and bike build liars equally well. [grins] A digital kitchen scale for bike components or hiking kit. I have a ten kilo test brass weight to check it occasionally. Love the young ones are being exposed to a variety of riding.

Thanks for the scale recommendation. I normally resort to a bathroom scale (mainly to weigh my bike touring set up), but it would be nice to have a more accurate read out.

Good to ride with the kids. They often have lots of energy... I am off to pick up a fork that has been replated. Then reassemble my 1975 Raleigh International. My main road bike with mix of Velo Orange bar and drilled cranks, Shimano 10 speed with bar end shifters, centre pulls and lightly used Brooks saddle from 40 years ago. It fits 35c Gravel King SS road tires. Not light but rides really well with a bit of spring. It might even fit you with a 59st and 57.5tt..

Having a good set of tires can make a world of difference. Best of luck with your bike build.

@@Henrywildeberry When race bikes changed to 700c x 23 or 25 tires there was little room to grow. But the old 27 inch wheels often leave room for a wide tire in smaller 700 or 650B rims.

It looks like the kids are alright.

They are young and full of growth hormone but I would put my money on Ms. Cools in any 400k ride.

@Henrywildeberry 8 ай бұрын

Good point. For Ms. Cools the first 100 miles is still the warm up.

"I've got the coffee cups, Mr. Wildberry, but it seems there's no place to hang them on these bikes." "Uh, this is a road ride, Ms. Cools. Maybe just leave them in the van and we'll get an oat milk latte on the way back."

It felt unusual not having the cups swinging around our saddle bags clanging against the seat post. A friend of ours says it sounds like a ringing cow bell.

I remember 100 years ago walking into that bike shop about to rent a cyclocross or gravel bike to participate in a grassgopper ride with a plastic bike! I think my bike was broken or something at that time?!!? I asked all the reg. Rental questions im used from car rentals! Turns out at that bike shops dont offer insurance for the rental bike in case you crash! Thats a while ago but Is that still a thing? Im a poor rat bike dude who crashes a lot so i will never b able to afford renting a highend plastic bike i guess?!?

I wasn't aware of the lack of insurance on bike rentals. It would make sense to rent a steel frame bike in that case. I rented a bike in Hawaii and all the bolts were rusty. It was an aluminum frame with a carbon fork. I rode it the top of the highest mountain on the island, only 5,500 feet (Kauai). On the way down I kept looking at the stem bolts and face plate hoping it wouldn't disintegrate on the next bump. It also had the slowest tires known to man on there, but they were puncture resistant.
