Chris, I'm curious how the Paul's CPs are working with the 42mm tires? I have them on the tandem and they are nice brakes, but are specked for only a 50 mm fender and a 38 mm tire. I have squeezed the 55MM VO fenders under the brake but the brakes only open just enough for a 38mm inflated

Be sure and report back on how the tires do in the race. I've got the same rims and the Knard 41 is near the top of my list if I ever start doing more gravel/dirt riding. Fortunately, my frame has plenty of clearance for a true 41mm tire (or even a bit more). On Thursday, October 30,

Yep, I'll be riding the grip kings in the race. I drilled em and pinned em, so I have no problem putting power down and not slipping off the pedals. Also the main reason I chose the Surly tires is because I work a few hours a week at the local bike shop 5 blocks from my house, and bike shop

I'm able to fit the tires under the centerpulls without deflating the tire. With the P45 fender, this is pretty much maxed out. This fender WILL fill with snow. That said, it rides great, and is super nimble. Kind of amazing! On Thu, Oct 30, 2014 at 4:12 AM, Michael Hechmer mhech...@gmail.com

I'm riding a Handsome Devil. It's basically an XO-1 up-sized to 700c wheels, according to the guys who designed it. I actually wish it had even more clearance but I think they designed it as an all-rounder that leans toward more urban riding so the clearance is adequate but not huge. On
