Apologies for reviving an old thread. Just thought I'd give a quick update. I have built up a 50th edition Outback which I am really happy with. Love it in every way EXCEPT I can't run my fave tires. IMHO the rear…
Hutchinson Tundras in 45 might be worth a look?
Nice rig!

Thanks very much. Can I ask what your rim width is please? Thank you.
Just wondering if owners of the current Outback could report on 'real world' tire clearance please. I mostly use 45mm (which on my rims can measure 46). Can be muddy on my local trails so need a bit of room. Is the…
Just a bit more information regarding the frame that cracked near the seat collar. Adam from Carbonda thinks it may have been the Carbonda seatpost causing the issue. He thinks over time it may have worn and the…

Just wanted to check in. I've had my 696 for a couple of years now, and primarily use it for bikepacking. Nothing really to report which is a good thing. The bike's been really solid and reliable after around 25000k.…
That's a stunning looking bike!
I use an ethirteen 9-46 on my 696 with no issues. edraven wrote: Anyone else use a cassette that goes down to 9T? Why would 9T hit but not 10T? Isn't the dropout flat in that area?
Thanks Chas. Great info. I have contacted the distributor and Vittoria. Not heard back yet but as soon as I do, I'll post an update. chas wrote: IMHO, Its not a problem, but YMMV. I would contact the wheel mfg if you…

I was really keen on a Waltly build a few years back. To test the waters I bought a few parts first; set post, bar and stem. It was a train wreck to be honest... was really unhappy with the QC. Wrong bolts etc.…
Sounds like a great build! Re: Crest wheels... I must say I've had nothing but bad experience on mountain bikes. Went through two sets of rims in one year - both destroyed... and I'm hardly doing hardcore stuff. As you…
