Bought these wheels last spring in 2018, decided I wanted 650b instead. Less than 500 miles on these before I decided that this combo was too tall for me. Didn't bother to clean them up but in 8.5/10 condition and true…
Thanks sharing looks like a fantastic place to ride.
Would be helpful with photos.
I would add that my seatpost clamp has no issues (manufactured in February), so perhaps they’ve fixed this. The issue was that the clamp tightened/bottomed out and there wasn’t enough space left to tighten more. Mine…

Looks fantastic. I haven’t had seatpost slip issues even without carbon paste but I am kind of a featherweight... \n \nI know you can get around this issue by using a thin shim or getting a non-integrated third party…
Here are some of the bridge clearance issues for anyone who’s looking to use the PDW fenders. \n \nI was too lazy to remove the fender so just placed the removable bridge behind the stays (toward the seatpost side).…

ajvb wrote: @RainySunny That looks great. What mudguards (fenders) are those? They look like a good fit. \n \nThanks! They’re the Portland design works full metal fenders. Fits my 38mm just fine.
picjohn wrote: My question also: what load will the fittings handle. Yes your load will mostly be over the drop outs. But the long legs to the seat stays will need to stabilise the rack and a heavy load would put a high…

Been too busy to pick up my bike from my mechanic but just had a chance to do so yesterday. Right now it will be relegated to winter gravel commuting duties where I need to pack a laptop/clothes/food so hence the rack.…
