So nice to see an Atlantis setup this way. Rugged works really well.
My Atlantis is very different. I'm running touring slicks (45's), under P65
Longboards. The bike is fast and agile.
I know everyone is thinking CLEM these days. But I think besting an
Atlantis is a really tough assignment.
So cool you got to do it!
I would have tried to go if I was available that day!
That's funny, I saw those cats in the banana bikes last year at the Six

I have those cream SKS 45s on my Sam with side pulls and running Little
Bens . I admit it's a tight fit. I hear gravel pieces scraping the fender
at times and even get large leaves stuck. Most of the times it's okay.
But the cream matches the lugs and I like the looks of them.

The distance between the tire and fork crown is too large, and the
