It measures 26 mounted, and fits just right. The 25mm Vittorio open coursa EVO on the 23mm front rim measures 27mm, and also fits perfect. (2002 compact)</p> <p>The thing handles great. There are a few really nice wheelsets being marketed with a bigger rim on the front, so it's not just me being weird. The biggish tires feel wonderful. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=9359#post-38589 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 20:41:34 +0000 MattyVT 38589@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>I've had good luck running the Clement Strada LLG in 28 on my Compact. The frame is custom and the fork is the new Moots branded carbon models available now, but I have ample clearance on both.</p> <p>Claimed size is 28, but I measure it at 26 on a standard 19 mm wide rim. I'm running the 60 tpi version, but I would expect the 120 version to be similar. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=9359#post-16204 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 14:41:08 +0000 JonC 16204@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Dom,<br /> Custom upcharge is $650.00 for any model (other than Divides, which we don't offer custom). The PR Challenge is a BIG tire (says 27mm but measures 30mm with a caliper) and they are even coming with a bigger (30mm) which I saw at the show. Nice stuff for sure. </p> <p>The height of the tire will work in the Vamoots, however, the width is still an issue. We are working towards this as bigger tires on road bikes are the new thing.....(which I love personally)</p> <p>Will update when we verify.</p> <p>Dealer....I would recommend Plume Grove in Leesburg. Yes they are 3 hours away, but if you are pulling the trigger on a custom, I could not think of a better person to fit you than Tom. Give him a call and make the time to visit the studio....they are great people.</p> <p>If you are dead set to shop on-line try Wrench Science.</p> <p>Thanks....yep spam filter going up a notch this week.

What is the upcharge for the custom geometry (sloped top tube similar to CR)?</p> <p>2. Is there clearance for the Challenge 'Paris-Roubaix tubular?</p> <p>3. We don't have a local authorized Moots dealer (Lynchburg, VA), can you recommend an authorized on-line dealer?<br /> Thanks,</p> <p>D. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=9359#post-13419 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 15:09:03 +0000 JonC 13419@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Dom,<br /> The Challenge PR tire will be too big. It's marked as a 27mm but when you put a caliper on it, it's more like 30mm. I wore a deep mark in my older Vamoots chainstay last summer....so, in the end your CR will not handle that tire. You can go to a Conti 28c and be okay. The 28c is tight but won't rub.....manufacturers measure their tires differently. </p> <p>To be really safe a nice 25c would work nicely....</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Jon@Moots </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=9359#post-13412 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 10:50:10 +0000 Domestique 13412@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Jon,</p> <p>What is the largest tire I can safely use on the CR? Is a tire like the Challenge 'Paris-Roubaix' tubular too big to responsibly fit? I am also taking into consideration road debris and clearance for the FD clamp.<br /> Thanks,</p> <p>D. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=9359#post-13333 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 18:27:38 +0000 JonC 13333@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>AggieMike,<br /> Standover would be a bit better, but we all know we ride bikes and don't stand around on them right? You would get a marginally stiffer frame with the smaller triangle....splitting hairs here.....slight weight savings in the frame with the shorter seat tube, which you would give back with the longer post needed.</p> <p>Jon@Moots </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=9359#post-13325 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 14:24:37 +0000 AggieMike 13325@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Out of curiosity, what is the benefit to you of a sloping top tube on the Vamoots that the CR doesn't offer? I just curious b/c it was the traditional geometry that put me in favor of the Vamoots over the sloping TT of the CR. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=9359#post-13323 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 14:16:38 +0000 JonC 13323@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Dom,<br /> No plans to offer it with sloping top tube. We kept it "traditional" to seperate it more from the CR. I understand you like the geometry, but will have to go custom to get it with a sloping top tube.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Jon@Moots </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=9359#post-13277 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 16:35:02 +0000 Domestique 13277@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Jon,</p> <p>Any plans to offer a Vamoots with a sloping top-tube similar to the CR? I'd like to get one but unfortunately paying the custom upcharge for the sloped top tube is a deal killer.<br /> Thanks,</p> <p>D. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=7854&page=2#post-12613 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 04:58:39 +0000 Exie 12613@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Thanks Rob, I'll be there.</p> <p>Not sure how muddy it will be, but thats what mountain biking is all about I guess.

Hard to do in the middle of winter.</p> <p>The pics are easy ....<br /> Step 1 - Upload your pic somewhere on the internet like Picassa, image shack, photo bucket or whatever. From this you should get a URL to the picture. eg:<br /> <a href="http://somewhere/something.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://somewhere/something.jpg</a></p> <p>Step 2 - Put a post on here, and use HTML codes to embed the picture. The forum shows "Allowed markup" include the <strong>img</strong> tag like:<br /> <code>&lt;img src=&quot;http://somewhere/something.jpg&quot; /&gt;</code> </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=7854&page=2#post-12420 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 04:46:10 +0000 robjsouth 12420@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>G'day guys, </p> <p>Was a good day out at the Youies. Very keen to get over to Buxton plus the trails you mentioned over a Woodend, Tim.</p> <p>A mate and I went over to explore a bit of the Walmer state forest last Saturday at Castlemaine- great network of trails out there too.</p> <p>I'd also be pretty keen to find out how to post pics here Tim if you can give us some tips.</p> <p>cheers</p> <p>Rob </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=7854&page=2#post-12390 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 02:07:23 +0000 Mootasaurus 12390@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Bikes look great and glad you guys had a good time. Always nice to see the sun out and a couple of beautiful bikes ready to shred.</p> <p> I might be OK for Buxton in August, but the arm is refusing to heal as fast as I had hoped. Back on the road bike, but still not ready for the trails.</p> <p>I've finished building up the MootoX and now just waiting to get out and try the bike/arm.</p> <p>I have a a couple of pics I'm sending to the Gallery at Moots, but how do I get one up here for you guys to see? </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=7854&page=2#post-12365 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 00:05:42 +0000 Exie 12365@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>So... a bit belated but none the less, pleased to report the YY ride went well. Rob was much fitter than me, but we both enjoyed a good ride and talked bikes most of the way. </p> <p><img src="http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-AEBE3zklFAs/UAKhf41jWOI/AAAAAAAAAC4/pW5x7EHtfqA/s1024/photo.JPG" /></p> <p>So, who's up for Buxton ? some time in August ? </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=7854&page=2#post-12126 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 23:03:59 +0000 Exie 12126@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Rob,</p> <p>Buxton sounds great.

I don't mind organising things if need be. PM is bobjsouth at live.com</p> <p>How about an Aug or Sept ride at Buxton?</p> <p>Cheers</p> <p>R </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=7854&page=2#post-12031 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 13:37:26 +0000 Exie 12031@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Hi Folks,</p> <p>I do love the plantations in woodend/macedon. They still get pretty wet in winter and I can only pray the moto's stay away or they'll get ruined. These trails are very flowy and have an excellent mix of trail features. Great place in summer to practice "pumping" I found.</p> <p>Buxton drains much better, and is also a blast. I only make it out there once/twice a year though.</p> <p>I think I'm still on for the 15th with Rob @ YY. How about a 10am pedal off from rangers office ?</p> <p>Still be great to follow up with an August or Sept. ride and get a few more bikes along. I'm a little uneasy with been an organiser, but happy to fight spammers and relay emails if anyone wants:<br /> t findlay at<br /> prodevelop . com dot au </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=7854&page=2#post-12026 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 06:08:39 +0000 craig r 12026@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Hey Guys I was thinking this post seems to be dominating the forum and thought that maybe someone could volunteer to post their Email address for the rest of us to send our details to, to organise rides.<br /> I'd offer but I just dont have the time at the moment.<br /> Shame there is not a PM function on this site to do this.<br /> Anyway just a thought.<br /> Cheers </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=7854&page=2#post-12024 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 04:23:37 +0000 robjsouth 12024@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Hi Peter, Paul and Nick,</p> <p>Woodend is great and very wet (from the look of your bikes).</p> <p>If you like Woodend, you'll love Buxton- its worth the drive out there... </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=7854&page=2#post-12018 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 00:16:48 +0000 MOOTS@cyclingedge 12018@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Hi Guys we are keen to get involved and Nick M and I have had some fun on both sides of the highway at Woodend over the last 3 weekends on the MXRSL and Rigormootis. I am dead slow being unfit and lacking any tech skills and gladly happy to carry the "brown lantern".</p> <p>Can't make the 15th as we have a team running at the National CX Series. Perhaps next time. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=7854&page=2#post-11957 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 09:44:19 +0000 Mootasaurus 11957@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Hey Rob,</p> <p>I'm running 2x10 and I offered up the cranks to the frame this evening at work. All seems fine. Clearance is fine. The only real problem is that Rotor give you heaps of spacers for every conceivable press fit BB and lots of info on how to use them, but as far as a traditional 68mm threaded goes, they are a bit lacking. But I should be able to figure it out. I am a bike mechanic after all. I have to say though, the Q-rings look decidely more oval than my old Bio-pace rings of yester year!! I'm not sure how I'm going to go on them, but I'm looking forward to trying. I'll send a couple of pics once it's all built up. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=7854&page=2#post-11945 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 05:01:04 +0000 robjsouth 11945@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Tim- yep I'm in.</p> <p>Russ- pictures please, when built. I'm interested to see how you go with the Rotor cranks re: chainstay clearance etc- you running 3x10, 2x10 or 1x10? </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=7854&page=2#post-11919 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 08:07:26 +0000 Mootasaurus 11919@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Yeah guys, I'm definately OUT. I tried to go for a ride on road today but the arm and elbow just aren't up to it yet (10 weeks post crash). So there is no way I'm going to get off road by the 15th. But keep me in the loop for August.</p> <p>Picked up the MootoX frame from Cycling edge yesterday and can't wait to get to work tomorrow and start to build it up. </p> <p>I reckon my elbow will make a miraculous recovery when I see the bike built up. I just won't be able to not ride it!!! </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=7854&page=2#post-11917 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 05:08:14 +0000 Exie 11917@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Hi Folks,</p> <p>So, to recap:<br /> Tim - In<br /> Rob - In<br /> Craig - Out<br /> Will -Out<br /> Russell - Likely Out<br /> Rich - ?</p> <p>I'm hesitant to flip-flop on the dates. Its hard to hit a moving target. If Rob is still keen, lets go for the 15th and report back.</p> <p>Maybe a follow up in Aug ? It might even be a bit drier / warmer by then! </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=7854&page=2#post-11916 Sat, 30 Jun 2012 23:48:19 +0000 craig r 11916@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Sorry guys as I mentioned previously I wont be able to do the 15th as I'm working. Have fun anyway. </p>
