My bad, misread a different comment!

You could crimp it on the inside couldn't you, to get more room.

We have been discussing this the past couple of days for the same frame

Local framebuilder quoted me £25 to crimp the stays.

Stop the crimping guys.
You don't need that big tyres. 35s are plenty

Agree.

I agree with regards to the ride. But you get much better tyre choice at 650b×42mm (compared with 38mm) and the BB drop/geo change is a bit less severe

10Nm is right if the bolts are greased and the EBB shell is all good. You could do them up more (my SS Arkose BB shell was just done up reasonably hard, no torque wrench) but if they slip under light pressure at 10Nm it's worth getting it looked at. Easy enough to spot an out of round shell.

That you can but invalidated the warranty tho.

@Hulsroy wash your mouth, 35mm is skinny as fuck.

Superb bike handling skills make 35c = 2"

Nodders ride 650bs...

:)

Get you a girl who can do both... Behold VINEGAR BALLS (working title)...

That is mighty fine

you was the one at clevermike ?

Yus.

I think I'm in love

In the framebuilder or framebuilding?

noticed it riding down hornsey road as it was being tested outside... ( won't tell you what they were doing with it : )

hahah. hopefully giving it some abuse as it certainly took some last week and came out the other end smiling.

long time passed, but yeah this is mine! Best commuter ever.

Anyone using front fork clamps for a rack?

I am - I've got them on my Day One for a Pizza rack.

Haven't carried anything mad heavy, but they seem to be holding pretty well.

(excuse the placeholder bolt!)
