GB mudguards weren't working out and I found cheap 26in SKS, they fit like a glove. Mudflaps would be good.
Given the low bb, I got a short spa triple 160mm crankset. Currently running 46/28 and 11-32, I'd prefer a 42 or 44 big ring tho. The campy 1o - shimano 9 sp combo works really well. The Spyres work nicely with the campy levers, too. Not prefect, but I think better than most cantis i had, and much easier to squeeze.
One beef is the Alfine dynamo - just as another shimano dynamo I have, it's producing quite a strong vibration, sometimes I feel it even in the pedals. Most people say they never feel the drag, but I def can. Not sure if I can mess with the bearings at all to sort that out.
Would be nice to use this bike to get a full audax season down this year, although I'm criminally under shape right now.
