... Geometrically, yes. The only problem with it is that Bridgestone used a gauge more than necessary on its sets. I reckon it was an attempt to keep riders...
Hi KOG group. This is my first post. I bought a Kogswell PR frame and fork on eBay from Pauls Bike Shop. What headset works with this? The headtube is 1-1/8...
... You need a set of 1-1/8" to 1" reducer shims; then you can use any 1" threadless headset. See http://www.bikeman.com/HD7200.html If you ask nicely, Mr....
Hi, All - I'm putting my size 59, G2 p/r up for sale. $500 for frame/fork/headset/bb/seatpost/fenders/Nitto M-12 rack/tektro "ribbit" brakes. She's used (it...
Fred, I've got a Chris King devolution headset that's made for that exact application. Complete except for the crown race (about $10 from ck) It's been...

Oh, I got one of those: http://www.flickr.com/photos/skazat/4006695542/sizes/o/ Works for touring, too, http://www.flickr.com/photos/skazat/4035190043/ Not as...
Hi. I'm building up a P/R for my wife for Christmas... and a Kogswell headbadge would take the cake. If anyone has an extra one lying around... let me know!...
Got it. Found the shims on eBay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260506491930 Anyone know what the trail is on this fork with the 1"...
... The steerer may be stamped with the offset -- both 1" Kog forks I have say "64mm". Assuming a 650x38 tire and a 73-degree head angle, that gives about...
Hello KOGs, This post may be a bit off-topic, but I thought some of you might be interested. You'd expect a guy like Ian Murray to be a typical Hollywood...
Paging the 650B ranks--I've joined the 650b club via a Haro Beasley and I need some big 650b x 2.3 tubes for the bike. Everyone says that 26" tubes work fine...
... http://velo-orange.com/65tu35.html I don't know which tube that is. http://www.universalcycles.com/shopping/product_details.php?id=7697&category=199 -...
I asked the same thing on the 650B list and Kirk Pacenti himself said to use 26x1.75-2.25. He was right, they fit perfectly and are probably the most common...
I found yet another, Quality brand, from Tires Direct, that's marked as 650B. Also found a new Schwalbe 650B knobby tire -- if you're looking for the CdlV...
That's way fatter than the 35mm CDLV passhunter. That would probably only fit a 650B MTB, in which case you've got lots of 2.0-2.35 knobbies to choose from. We...
That's funny you mentioned that--I checked in with the only local shop that really supports 650B (Rex Cycles) and they sold me some 26 x 1.9-2.125 (Kenda...
I learned this through experience. When I first got my P/R about a year and a half ago, I ordered a few things from VO and Rivendell, including tubes. One of...
On the general note of 650B goodness I have to say that the Haro performed as advertised--she sticks to the trail but still rolls over things before you even...
... I have been carrying a 26x1.5-2" tube as a spare on my 650B bike. Recently I got my first flat on that bike, and was confounded to learn -- contrary to...
Matthew, you may find this most interesting... http://www.sjscycles.com/thornpdf/ThornMtTuraForkHiRes.pdf "The increased offset (52mm) of the Mt.- Tura forks ...
Hello All  With the excellent help of Free Range Cycles in Seattle, I have nearly finished my city-bike/porteur build of my 59cm P/R. However, they were...
