I'm not too keen on the cowchippers. Heard they have way too much flare. Woodchippers seem perfect but trying to bring some in is a small fortune.

Flare is as above.

 

I can get woodchippers or Luxys.

The end is in sight

Tomorrow is the day. Then my road bike frame will be back home after a long visit at Bogus. Super excited!

Dropping my fork off with David Mercer tomorrow to get a disk tab brazed on.

 

Just needing some linear pull drop levers like the Tektro RL520s and a short, high rise stem

 

Going to be a unique retro conversion

Anyone know where i can get tubeless 35c - 38c CX tyres?

Finish Line Cycles in Kempton has some Maxxis Mimmos at 35mm.  Not the greatest of tyres for rocky terrain, but ok for gravel.  Ok on the tar too.  BTW they are not tubeless specific, but can be run like tubeless - sidewall takes about 2 days to settle.
