One thing that the CX and Rene Herse brakes have in common, that makes them
such a pleasure (and so much easier) to work on, is the quality of the

The "ears" on the Heron seat clusters will bend inward if the seat post
bolt is over-tightened, which it has to be if you have one of the 27.4

order the tubes as you’d expect for “ride feel” -
RH TPU
Schwalbe extra light
Foss
Schwalbe standard
I don’t think there’s much difference in feel between Foss and Schwalbe
standard tubes, and the difference between RH TPU and Schwalbe extra light is
pretty small.
All just one man’s opinion.
