I've had this front wheel sitting in my garage for a year or so. Was
thinking a future project but decided on a different bike.
Hand built at Universal Cycles in Portland with Miche Racing box hub (
common cartridge bearings) DT Swiss Comp butted spokes, 32h Dyad rim.
Maybe 1500 miles but
most builders charge a bunch of cash for a custom stem.
these guys http://ticycles.com/TCF/hardware.html do a powder coated tig
stem for $195. Plating adds a bunch of $$.

The Hetre has thicker tread than the Babyshoe Pass tire. I think 3.5 mm
versus 3 mm if I recall correctly. I had similar luck on my Hetres, no
flats in the 1st 2500 miles. Then 3 in a two week period . Then none since.

the Babyshoe Pass's are slightly narrower than the Hetres due to thinner
sidewall thickness. Mine measure 39.9mm on A23's. Still a great tire
and super that they fit.

I'll bet the price will be about half of Babyshoe Passes when they get
fully out on the market. I'm sure I'll get a pair for my camping bike.
Super happy to have another 40+mm road tire to choose from.

unusual huh?... maybe just cheap. I find Pasela pricing varies by size.
The bigger sizes are more $$.
I like that they used the thicker tread. Better in the dirt or for loaded
touring. If you want a faster tire get a Hetre.

as components.

My black Hetres have about 2500 miles on them and measure 41.9 mm on
Dyad's. My new Babyshoe standard casings measure 39.7mm after a few weeks
of installation on A23's.
