Spending a school break at the in-laws in Vaasa Finland. Finally got the frame/bike I built in Roubaix 90% done (still forgot to bring a PM/FM adapter...)

Schwalbe Hurricane is a very versatile tire I'd say. Hard to compare it to the Conti hardpacks that I have on the Peregrine, as they are 50mm run tubeless on 18 mm rims and heavier wheels and these are 57mm so far run with tubes on 25mm internal rims on lighter wheels. So far the Schwalbe combination feels better. I was hoping to get away with using the Hurricanes when I come here for Christmas (I'll probably bring a studed tire for the front)

Anedotical BB7s still working really good (I can't even think of all the braking I'll be able to do with two of them!)

That's very cool. Did you do the paint?

I agree that BB7s are great once set up well. I have to say that a barrel adjuster could be very handy for fine adjustments at the end of set-up but once you've put the time in, they are great.

Yeah I did it with Montana Gold cans based on an old Kuwahara MTB/BMX (can't remember wich) that I really liked and had bought cans for maybe 4 years ago. Splatter is a very forgiving paint scheme.
