[Captain Fastbastard Mayhem]

Very sexy pedals.

Sir M, have you got your heart set on those Spank Stiffy rims? Have you purchased them already?

 

EDIT: I see that the pic was a false representation of the build and that you're actually speccing Loaded AMX rims.

 

Was about t say, the Stiffy is 40mm wide and a bit of an overkill for an AM bike

I'm guessing Conti MKII Tubeless

Continental Rubber Queen 2.4.

The 2.4 is seriously fat. Grips like crazy but doesn't fit all frames and forks. A little bit too big for the Reba I had. Just peachy in the Lyrik.
