Got a small tour lined up in late July so this is going to need a bit of investment finally
Wheel build will go ahead
Some form of rear rack (will be carrying the bulk of kit for 2 people)
Maybe a practical steel fork depending on how much stuff there is
In the meantime this has been doing great at commuting, rides with the fixed guys, and bashing around the woods.
I think long term the best tyre setup is gonna be semi-knobbled 42s, with 60mm guards. Plenty of room for mud etc. Today's ride has taught me that I absolutely need guards. That'll last until winter when I decide I need to ride cross again no doubt.
