At one particular race a few years back I had the misfortune of being late and not pre-riding the course. I came around a corner to an off-camber drop off section, and went right over the bars. As I raced the prototype in a few races this season, I figured it would be an appropriate addition for testing.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />ConnorConnornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-70411024487536281262021-12-03T18:17:47.110-05:002021-12-03T18:17:47.110-05:00Whats the story on that "this side up sticker...Whats the story on that "this side up sticker"?

That's a good question. I ...@Johnathan Daniel,<br /><br />That's a good question. I would say they are similar and different. Both are spritely, but the Rando is further unburdened by any disc brake requirements. It makes the frame and fork that much lighter. If you're primarily riding on pavement and crushed limestone rail trails, the Rando will be perfect. If you plan on doing more and need more tire, the Pass Hunter is a great option. <br /><br />To be honest, they aren't necessarily replacements for each other, rather complements.<br /><br />@Anonymous,<br /><br />130 for vertical, 120 for the rear-facing insert.Igor Shteynbukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08563602658883335500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-28780987367603274372021-10-22T09:11:47.333-04:002021-10-22T09:11:47.333-04:00The new frame looks perfect!

Is this going to be more focused on longer rides (e.g. AUDAX rides) with more comfort focus? Other than the obvious features like brakes, why would someone choose one over the other?<br /><br />DanielJohnathan Daniel M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07575770267682636082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-91551278689055567892021-10-21T22:37:19.014-04:002021-10-21T22:37:19.014-04:00@Mike,

No need for rear rack mounts, so you don't need two stays! Same reason the Pass Hunter has it too. It's a slick way to connect the rear end to the seat tube. <br /><br />-IgorIgor Shteynbukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08563602658883335500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-18676683664176838952021-10-21T19:08:40.921-04:002021-10-21T19:08:40.921-04:00What’s the thinking behind the wishbone seatstays?...What’s the thinking behind the wishbone seatstays?
