How have you found the brevet rims?

Faultless, really.

Light, pretty. Wheels have stayed true after more than a year without any maintenance.

That’s good - hard to find 650b rim brake rims.
I got a pair of these https://thecycleclinic.co.uk/products/bo­rg31-kinlin-xr31t-650b-bicycle-road-cx-t­ubeless-compatible-rim
Seem to run quite nice - the deeper section doesn’t look as good though with classic style frame than the brevet type box rims

Looks great!

Have you ever set up your Evasion with 2x? I’d want a double for touring but can’t find any examples of an Evasion with one.

Ffs, not again!

😂😂😂

@moog Never set up mine 2x but I think it is totally doable !

@Tijs I saw you rode some semi-rocky gravel path. It seems to be the main question about the Lightning Bolt, how does it handle ? All iteration of your LB are awesome, but I have to admit the ultradynamico one is def astonishing !

To be honest, I’m still not entirely sure about the handling. It’s fine for on road, but it doesn’t steer as sharply as I would’ve liked. Cornering wise. I don’t think low trail geo is for me.

Dibs if it's a medium :)

L/58cm. And I suffer from Stockholm syndrome, so I’ll probably hang onto it for a while.

Did the rear canti hanger move freely between the seatpost bolt and the seatpost when you had the frog legs set up?
Was it a surly hanger?

It didn't move freely, and it was a Surly hanger. It worked fine the way it did though.

It’s odd - I’ve tried various nitto hangers and all bind with the seatpost - it seems like poor design of the frame that integrated seat post bolt doesn’t leave room for hanger.
What other options would there be for cantis?

Agreed on the bad design. First gen had a hanger on the frame, so I guess they removed the hanger and kept the original seatpost binder, which might not have been designed for a hanger.

Your only other option for cantis I think is a seatpost mounted hanger. Paul makes one, there are probably others.

Today was a good day.
