Got a link to them soma tyres?
Build looks great, wasn't sold on the choice of colour at first but seeing it built with the luggage it's really working.
I was pondering this the other day, could you run the frame pump between the bag and the TT? Loosen the straps a little on the bag...

Go for the 42mm version, big supple tyres are fucking amazing.
Having said that I can understand the price being quite high, why not go for the Marathon Supreme in 40mm? 490g (HD Speed Guard version) isn't bad for a slightly tougher tyres that felt better than the Pasela, unless you wanna go for that gumwall look.
The Supreme is the best touring tyres you can get for the money, light, supple, smooth and have that Marathon blue gel insert.

That was me asking about drilling holes in the fork as well. Haven't gotten round to mounting the electrics yet though.
So you stuck those cable guides on the inside of the fork leg?

Pretty much done now, I just need to sort the rear light, get a matching 3rd Rapha bottle and put the rest of my patches on my rando bag. Nice to think about all the British brands I've got here; Hope, Rapha, Genesis, Thorn, BigTop and Restrap.
This summer's touring will probably involve some flying, so the mudguards will be coming off, which affords me the opportunity to put some bigger tyres on - Either 38c Paslas or 42c Soma Supple Vitesse SL (actually made by Panaracer)
@Lieven_De_Vlaminck I use allen key Q/R to avoid this problem and add a tiny bit more security.
Also, whoever was asking about drilling holes in forks for cables, I didn't bother in the end, I remembered the existence of these Shimano Di2 Stick on cable guides, so just used them.
