• I've considered asking my LBS about that in the past, certainly something I'll check first before getting a new frame.

    In the meantime, setup some 40mm WTB Nanos I got cheap from Wiggle on. Wider, 700 & tubeless, so perhaps get similar effect.

    Also swapped to a 110mm stem instead of 120mm. I put the Thomson layback post for bikepacking Türkiye as the mechanism was less likely to slip with the saddlebag, but never adjusted the reach at the front. Feels a bit better, more responsive in the technical bits anyway.

  • Cheers, funnily enough it actually looks more like the Swiss Cross builds Ritchey has on its site now, though >35mm tyres aren't CX-compliant IIRC!

    Yep, you're right on the bars. Swapped the stem & photo from a shakedown ride to spin the sealant around, so to be adjusted.
