Thank you! Yes, tubeless compatible matters. I believe it is increasingly common to run 38 mm tires tubeless. I mainly have experience with tubeless in the 2"+ widths. On Wednesday, September 28, 2022 at 3:39:16 PM UTC-7 Ryan Stanis wrote: > FWIW, to second Aaron's suggestion, the Velocity

FWIW, I used a rear wheel spaced at 135mm for years in a frame spaced at 130mm. Takes a few seconds more to get the wheel in while you pull the dropouts apart a couple of mm on each side. No harm to the frame (a Rivendell Road Standard). I recently switched back to a standard 130mm rear wheel,

I thought they were 130 spaced too when I bought em. I pulled them out of a frame that was spaced at 130 and was surprised when the dropouts sprung back in place. On Wed, Sep 28, 2022, 5:44 PM Ryan Stanis wrote: > hot diggity daffodils, that's a sweet wheelset. If it was 130mm rear > spacing

FWIW, to second Aaron's suggestion, the Velocity Quill is an improvement on the A23, as many have found the A23 too easy to dent/flat spot (myself included). It is a wider rim than the a23, enterprise, or pacenti brevet, but any road caliper found on a riv shouldn't have issue with it's width.

Exactly right Eric, that photo shows the third pulley just disengaged because it’s in the tallest gear on the cassette and middle chainring. Less slack in the chain means the chain is pulling the derailer mechanism forward enough to disengage the third pulley. But when you shift down the third
