New 28mm "Challenge" Strada LGG tyres (after leaving it at 120psi all day and deflating back to 40/60psi to stretch the damn thing from 25mm to 28mm), 110mm stem, SMP Composit and compressionless housing.

Tiny bit of room left, wonder if it's possible to fit the actual Challenge Strada Bianca 30mm tyres in it?

Brake still feel a little crap, possibly the cheap Veloce brakes not being great, waiting for the Shimano 5800 brakes to replaced it soon.

Very impress with budget wheel, Fulcrum Racing 7 CX with wide rims and buttery smooth hubs.

I appreciate these are new, but generally how do you keep gumwalls clean? I've got some paselas on my genesis and the rear is pretty much uniformly black. I fear the answer is going to be as boring as 'clean them after every ride' but hoping for a magic solution, ideally featuring magnets.

Ride with disc.

I kept them clean by using that Genesis as a summer bike.

Disc brakes have a great effect on keeping the sidewall clean.
