I commuted in all weather with some dirt/crushed limestone sections on a nexus 3 speed IGH for years, no major problems. Looking at alfine 8 or 11 this time around. I've also put 10k+ miles on sora with no problems.…
I don't NEED a new bike, but I've kinda got a hankering for one, if y'all know what I mean... So anything new coming out/come out in the past year, 18 months? Or any especially good values out there? Rack/Fender…

What's the fender clearance like? What size tire would fit?

No numbers, but I'm also pretty interested. Really nicely specced/priced. But damnit why do so few bikes have fork mounts?
That $1500 price is for frame only?
E-bikes are the biggest growing market. Seeing as how there probably isn't anywhere I'd take a tamland where vehicles are prohibited, though? For me personally, if I'm spending that kind of money on a motorized vehicle,…

I don't mind entry fees if there's value in them. Support, aid stations, etc. $125 where they did nothing but permits through a national forest and a cue sheet? Nah.
That corporate discount is hard to beat. But do the willard or tamland fit 650bx47 tires with fenders? Looking for a bit more volume than 40c for easy singletrack, but can't give up fenders.

I do think he has a point that companies might design to their environment. I definitely want more tire clearance in a PNW rainforest than what I would need in the Texas Hill Country or Rio Grande Valley. That's going…
Pretty common in other industries.
