Russell's bicycle is now in compliance with Oregon 650b bicycle law

It’s official now – I’m not a 650b randobro. I put a couple of (used, but still in excellent shape) Hetres on Russell’s Kogswell to bring that bicycle into compliance with Oregon law regarding 650b bicycles, and then had to take it out for a test spin to see what all the fuss is about.

Um, I think I preferred the ride of the CdlV’s that were on it before. I found that the Hetres (at ~40psi) felt kind of squirmy and had a ride feel much like the Parigi Roubaix tires I used briefly last year, plus they seemed to make it harder to steer the bicycle :-(

I still want to get Silas into being a 650b randobro, but as for me, well, I’ll stick to 700c and Resist Nomads for the immediate future.
