Yeah. From what I remember the grip nut you can’t run spacers under the lock ring.

Would be nice on a Rivendell.

Ah. That makes sense. Thanks.

The newer (2018) 11 speed calipers give an extra 1 or 2mm clearance over the older 2015 ones, and a rounder shape. Enough that I can get 28mm Conti GP5000 under SKS guards on my Thorn. Pretty decent clearance for standard reach brakes. The placement of the brake hole on the frame / fork obviously has to be correct though, pads at bottom of slots etc.

Very neat! I use those PDW axle adapters on my Thorn which has the bosses for the front guard half way down the fork leg instead of at the dropouts. It’s a bit weird and I’m never sure why some forks have the bosses up so high.

Nice! Did you make the little light mount or is that a standard thing from Exposure?

No need to pull the headset cups etc., shove some crumpled up kitchen roll in each end of the head tube to stop it all coming out as you rotate the frame to distribute the product - that should keep the headset clean enough, then just wipe it.

There was a guy on one of the forums years ago who did a back to back test over several months using various rust products on bits of steel tube bathed in salt water and left outside. The Fluid Film lanolin product came out way better than anything else. The J P Weigle Framesaver one sucked as I recall.
I use the Fluid Film now. The downside is it stays wet, so it can drip out of drain holes - just don’t put too much in.

This is one of those things that comes up on here and I will regret not buying for an as yet unknown future project.

As it says really. Thanks.
Andrew.
