What you thinking of getting eddy?

Wait and see pudding....... But I can tell you that the orange tape is appropriate and if all goes well, I should have it in two weeks time

If it's the steel Niner RLT with the orange detail I'll be very jealous!!!

Finally, my frameset has had just about enough of visiting Bogus and will be hopefully back in my hands next week. Bogus spend so much with frame that he even named it!???????? and added some paint????

 

Here is a sneak preview of "Wolverine" ????????

Wow. Very nice build!!!!

 

What brand tyres are you running? What is the width? Tubeless?

 

Thanks! I'll do a writeup on it when I have a chance.

 

I'm running a set of 32mm Specialized Roubaix Pro tubeless and a set of 40mm Vittoria Adventure something something tubeless knobblies as well. Both on Rapide R29 wheelsets which have been an absolute pleasure (not 11-speed road ready, had to put them in the lathe and take 1.8mm off the freehub).

 

Got a pair of 35mm Schwalbe Marathon Supremes TL Easy tyres aswell which I'm not using at all, don't like the reflective strip.

 

Will never go back to tubes. Tubeless for the win

I can't say yet, but this arrived today so that it won't have to go around barefoot.....

Yes, spend the winter on the Niner.  Most of it on tar :-(  Being so heavy help my power a lot.

 

Got descent tyres last week (Trigger Pro 38mm), so can't wait for the Karoo in December.
