Thanks, Adam! Sounds like a keeper of a system. I ordered the kit you recommended, but have an Eagle X01 rear derailleur already, so will be selling the brand new GX Eagle rear derailleur that comes with the set. Now if I had a suitable bike to put this on... Tom On Tuesday, April 16, 2019

Patrick, I just learned the Soma Cazadero is now available in a 50mm size, tubeless ready. I run the 42mm version with tubes on my AHH, and can confidently vouch for them. Amazingly quiet and supple on pavement, with some bite for dirt. The 50 might be too narrow for your application though.
