Chogolicious wrote: What kind of bento box is that? You like it? As far as direct mount (bolt on, strapless) bentos go, these are my favorite by far! Sleek, low-key and well-made. -Ed

Chogolicious wrote: Yeah, it really ticks a lot of boxes. Threaded BB (have never owned/will never own PF), ridiculous tire clearance, 1x GRX 600 (which equates to 105) with an 812 (Ultegra) RD, good price, good spec,…
Breed is a super sweet frame with almost every single attachment point one could ask for (the only thing missing being fork accessory mounts—it only has one on each side for attaching a low rider rack, and not another…

Koyote wrote: Ed, thanks for all of this info! Two questions: 1) How do you think the 700x40 Venture will do on steep loose climbs? 2) Do you have experience with this tire, or have you used the 650b version? I was a…
I have extensive experience with WTB’s various offerings, and I live and ride in the Northeast region (NJ/PA). If your concern about rear triangle spacing is major, my recommendation is not to do the 40C WTB Nano (my…

Koyote wrote: EddNog, have you looked at the WTB Riddler 45? I think the tread is similar to the Resolute. Related question: What was the actual width of your Resolutes, and what is your internal rim width? If you…
clarksonxc wrote: Yeah and unfortunately I don't have any 650 stuff so I can't really help regarding what's available. Can your bike fit 700x50? There are some options out for that size, from Donnelly and WTB I believe.…

I've put in quite a few miles on my set of 42c WTB Resolutes set up tubeless, and I love them. The one thing I wish for with them is more width, but WTB doesn't offer anything bigger than 42mm with this design. I've…
Hmm...I'm trying to picture how this would work. I actually already have a set of interrupter levers (they're already in use on the bike this is going on, a set of Cane Creek cross levers); the only potential problem I…
Not sure if you saw, but I have decided to utilize the Problem Solvers Cable Doubler modules so that I am able to utilize standard flat bar (road brake) levers, instead of relying on interrupter levers. -Ed
And we're done. I was inspired by the gold accents in my bar tape and the coincidental gold accents on the 26" rim I chose for this build (WTB KOM i23 26"), so while I was at it, I used black and gold vinyl tape to…
Okay, here we go. I have received the vast majority of the components for this project. I have in hand the S-700 flat bar brake levers, the Origin 8 drop-ends, the Problem Solver's cable doublers and I bought a cheap,…
