I'm very interested in this, what's the max tyre clearance?

Yep, had same problem on my Hartley using a kinesis tracer 1.5 fork and spoon hub, changed to bb7s in the end and am loving them.

They seem to be out of stock everywhere, want a new set for racing The Transatlantic Way starting next week (2400km ultra race around Ireland), if you have a set/know of a bike shop with stock of them plz halp.

Long shot - is anyone hoarding a new set of schwalbe S-Ones they wouldn't mind selling me? They're out of stock on ison and can't see anywhere with stock of them. I punctured my front such that I had to use one of the panaracer tubeless puncture repair (which worked magically) on a long training ride, it's holding up fine and I would carry on riding it if it wasn't for the fact I am racing 2400km around Ireland starting next thurs so want some fresh rubber.

My other option is a set of 32c gravel Kings but I'm hesitant. Have been happy with S-ones and would prefer not to change my set up last minute.

Wish u'd have said hello! I work in the station so am always about. Was buying razors to become full roadie hairless legged for Ireland.

Almost done with cross check, pelago rack fitted, now want matching 38c tyres, maybe panaracer tour guard.

Anyone tried 650b on a kinesis tracer 1.5 disc fork? I'm assuming you can't get that big a tyre in but just interested.

On the Isle of Wight with loads of fog

En route to France in Seaford

In Epping adjusting brakes. (Can only attach one image per post so a couple more to come)

Brilliant! Done around 1500-2000km on it now and am very happy with it, astounded by how much more what I put into the bike translates to what I get out of it, climbs really nicely too. Had some problems with clearance with the front brake and the spokes with the Spyres so swapped to BB7 S brakes and now everything is magic.
Even took it out round the trails in Epping last week and it was amazing, with some more appropriate tyres than the schwalbe S-ones I reckon it would be great off road, but even just with those on the dry bits it was totally fine.
Overall really impressed! Have been unwell for the last few weeks so not been getting as much riding in as hoped but excited to race it round Ireland next month.

Managed to avoid all bogs in my most recent Epping trip. Must try harder.

Ah yeah!
No probs, cant imagine riding a bullit!

Das'd @B0N0R in whitechapel, I don't think we ever properly met but I slept on your/Jon's sofa in Bristol once.

No probs! Spinning is always good.

I rode home/to work on 44/22 for nothing :(

Yeah ima coming, possible with a plus one.

Though I can't imagine my bog avoidance skills will improve at night...

Only just seen this, the cross check is fixed now but I am free so think I'll come along!

How about alpkit stem cells on the front of the bars and also on the TT bars? Been thinking of doing this but not tested yet. The XL ones are massive so you can get a lot in.

Anyone run Gravel Kings SKs brakeless? Interested how they hold up to skids.

Turns out BB7s solved all clearance problems. Kinda annoying they don't have an integrated barrel adjuster but oh well, the inline ones feel okay.
Will report on performance after tomorrow's ride.
