Tijs' Crust ↯

Boo, Paul's cantis.

Let me know when you find a (second hand) set in purple. ;)

A package from Denmark arrived.

A lovely pair of symmetric @Hulsroy ™ bottle cages. Very nicely made.

Sadly no little chunks of apple that were teased...

Shiiiieeet. They look fucking ace. No more, no less ethos really hits the spot for me.

Yay!

Any luck fitting those guards yet?

I’m slacking! Front is kind of on, rear I need to drill a hole for the brake bridge. Might finish this weekend.

Hulsory cage(s) in action.

Mud splashes on the lower part of the seat tube prove the need for flaps. Most of the other dirt (for example underneath the down tube) was there before fitting the mudguards.

"This is fine." The brake cable had to be routed above the bolt (against Paul’s original design), to achieve clearance with the mudguard.

The mudguards are on! Shakedown ride was a success. Just need to trim the stays, and add flaps. Might add a front rack to stabilize the top of the front mudguard. Overall, pretty pleased.

Great stuff. Can I share your photos on IG?

Of course! Sorry about the Big S logo. 😅

Great build. I can only picture big smiles on the pedals. Front rack would look ace. Congrats

See it, say it, sorted

Shame on me for not buying your bottles!

I'd rather people use what they already have. You are also already pretty well covered in the pink department

Love all the iterations of this bike !
The fenders gives it a really elegant shape.

Did you manage to fit these with the 47 dynamicos ?

Looks like a completely different bike now, very classy

47c and mudguards don't fit (at least not on this version of the Cantibolt). 42c and mudguards barely fit, surprisingly.

Slightly better shot of the bike, without accessories.

Should really clean the bike after last week's ride. Need to remember that this is (now) a road bike.

Two flats in the second ride since going back to inner tubes, let's see how easy hard is it to do tubeless without a compressor.

Also cleaned the bike today. 'Follow route':

Just had a similar experience going back to tubes after a year on tubeless.
Had two punctures within 6kms a had to calnmy wife as I didn't bring patches and only had one inner tube with me 😃

Are you enjoying the bike?

Turned around after the first front flat, got home with 0 psi in the rear.

Other than that I’m enjoying the bike. Tubeless should get rid of the only annoyance at the moment.

Love this.

So, tubeless at home without a compressor.

Firstly, the tyres. They are Panaracer GravelKing, 650b x 42c. OEM version, without the gaudy logos. 9 euros a piece (for a pair) at b-c.de.

The Panaracer logo is very subtle.
