I'm doing a similar treatment to the Hunqapillar. I dropped the 50mm Duremes for lighter Xplor MSOs and just yanked the back rack. Also putting Albastaches on the beast. Hoping to have a more nimble gravlamuter. Really just more practice for bar taping :) Brian Hanson Seattle, WA On

This just in! I took the Furiously Fred-shod Fargo (say that six times quickly) to church and back today via pavement, firm gravel, and sandy dirt and I must say that I am very, very impressed favorably with the Furious Freds. Perhaps it was simply new-bike-stuff adrenaline, but I was bombing

I am precisely 2.5 mm faster with respect to every other variable. And yours were shinier than mine, too, for which I felt a bit guilty, but I figger'd I made it up with the ring transfers ... On Sun, Sep 1, 2013 at 2:18 PM, WETH erlhous...@gmail.com wrote: Patrick, I am glad the 172.5mm

No, am waiting on having the Fargo's front wheel rebuilt -- hope to get them on the road by the weekend, and will report. At this point, after some conversation and research, I think I'll just stick to tubes rather than go ghetto tubeless -- can't see much advantage beside the bit of weight

Cool, I'm putting in my order soon. Was pretty set on Nomad Resist tires but now I'm considering the fast freds... the light weight, thin walled doesn't scare me based on my Hetre EL experience on my 650b wheelset, but the price difference is pretty hi. Decisions, decisions! -- You received

Thanks, Garth. Wiggle was so fast that -- well, it's faster than ordering from an adjacent state! Prices decent on many things, too. SJS is good, and I've ordered from ProBike and prolly at least one other, but Wiggle -- man! On Wed, Aug 21, 2013 at 6:49 PM, Garth garth...@gmail.com wrote:
