I'm bringing a fixed wheelset with Soma C-Lines, and an S3X (FW)/generator set
with very worn Mythos CX knibblies.
I may just do the C-Lines, and trade the 44t ring for a 42/39 chainring setup.
I'm more concerned with Quickbeam gearing than tires.

Yes - medium SaddleSack on haulin Colin rack. It wasn't ideal, but it worked

I think a Manny Trap is any view with beautiful atmospheric layering of
