  I'll bite - are they Shimano 11 or 10speed and where are you for pickup?

  Heading to Malaga in November, normally do a tour up into Sierra Nevada but have a city hotel for 6 nights this time so just doing day rides. I've come up with the following but if anyone has better ideas please feel free to suggest?

  1. El Borge (126km, 2350m) https://goo.gl/maps/JxKyMhbzrLYRCWc3A
     
  2. Alfarnate (133km, 2000m) https://goo.gl/maps/vNbCRKAPdmctDRAk6
     
  3. Comares (97km, 2164m) https://goo.gl/maps/QDmQV637m3rZYQJ59
     
  4. El Chorro (152km, 1631m) https://goo.gl/maps/RX9qfBCaupKrPBUi9
     
  5. El Torcal (132km, 1613m) https://goo.gl/maps/jhbioXrh9sDo4FEh7
     
     

  Cheers

  No, they have tubes, no mention of tubeless compatibility so I'd assume not although tyres are a snug fit so with sealing tape they'd probably work

  Actually they're 60mm, I just checked the receipt, apologies for the confusion

  Chinese carbon clincher sold by https://dymag.com/ on eBay. I think they attempted at the bike wheel market and then sold off their stock when it didn't work out.

  I have some 24/24 50mm carbon clinchers you can have for what it cost me to build them (£200), they're old-school width (20.5mm), with DT Swiss Competition spokes and Miche Syntesi hubs, Campagnolo freehub
  I would say they've done no more than 300 miles but I've just got some new hubs so am ready for another project. I can throw in my used swissstop yellow pads which is all that has been used on them

  Should you find yourself touring with a campag race chainset on an old 10speed bike I’ve found the low 3 cog cluster from an 11 speed 11-32 cassette work fine with a medium cage 10 speed derailleur and the other 7 cogs in a custom cassette. Gives the same ratio as a compact 34:29 so I will be taking it to Andalusia later this year.
