New fork, TRP caliper and some 28c GK's have really brought the Surly to life. Fork came up cheap on Ebay and got good mates rates on some TRP's as these'll likely be needed for my next road build. Also swapped out the polished hardware for some ratty black steel bolts for a slightly more dressed down look and provide a better mate for the Hexlox's which look like cheesy LED's.
Thought the fork would look all wrong but i actually quite like it, 400g weight saving has made a notable difference and it's nicely patina'd to not look out of place with the paint.
Going back and forth in my mind about what to do with the CAAD. Before i consider selling I wanted to see if i could get any fatter rubber on to allow for more mixed surface riding and @ad441 kindly hooked me up with an old 30mm G-one to try for size. Enough space on the front but unfortunately too tight on the rear brake bridge so 28c will be as big as i can go. Unless i go 650b with the TRP's?...
