If you are referring to the metal washer, I faced the rounded side
toward the shifter. That said, I'm not sure it matters.

extract every last penny of useful life out of a part, replace it with
something good and durable.

One way of looking at this: regardless of the fault (frame, tire,
wheel, rider) the severity of the failure (almost guaranteed crash)
will keep me well clear of carbon spokes.
I've got nothing against Mavic, I have their aluminum rims on three of

Nice bike Bruce! You win the "Beefiest Tires I've Seen on a
Rambouillet" award. It's refreshing to see someone doing something a
bit different.
I'm running 32s with fenders, I do have 37s on the Atlantis...smooth
tires!
Thanks for the post.

;s 90+% rider, if you want an equipment upgrade, wider tires
are usually a bit easier in loose surfaces than skinny ones...IMHO.
