New wheels with wide Ambrosio AK30 rims and SP dynamo hub, Conti Speed King 2.2" in front. No issues with tubeless setup. I'd like to think the wider rims handle better (better cornering, more stable at low pressures), but braking performance seems to have taken a further hit.
I switched to ITM Eclypse from parts bin because it wasn't possible to lower the old stem (Nitto MT3) further. This might be too low at min insertion mark though, so I may have to invest in another stem. Would possibly like to try bars with flatter transition to hoods. Noodles have an inevitable dip between ramps and hoods which I feel limit hand positions and cause pressure points, but maybe getting the bars slightly higher will help. [Edit: or try to move the hoods up a bit]
Still loving the bike :)
