    +1 for worm : Usually a worm + rubberised superglue works nicely, and avoid having to remove the tyre and messing with sealant..

    Regarding paches, I've used a hutchinson "rep'air" road tubeless patch to fix a leaking fusion 5 galactik tyre (tyre worm would not even stay in the hole...) : It's been holding for a while now, and look safer than a worm fix, so I guess you could try.

    Btw, I'm not sure how different are these patches from regular one - maybe different rubber compound ? the kit glue is the same as the one in their tube patch kit.

    QR to Thru Axle conversion on sp dynamos is not possible. Btw, my pd-8x was shipped with a qr adapter, so you dont need to buy a generic one :)

    Caad3 vs Cad3 = caad3, logo design issue, cf snapshot from 97 catalogue ;). I think frames stickered "cad3" are older.

    These are also different than old cad 3.0 series frame, the one before 2.8 series frame, with funny dropouts :)

    For Rsomething vs Rsomethingelse, except than the bigger the better, it's difficult to tell without proper catalogue for year and country, too much variations..

    Is there any known replacement for specialized sequoia "cruzero" rim ? I have a rear wheel with a cracked spoke eyelet to fix, and I've not managed to find spares online, nor similar looking rim (black, low profile, 25mm wide, box shaped rim).

    I could maybe swap both rims to something similar ERD wise, to limit cost by reusing spokes, but i could not find that value online too..

    +1 - Regarding easy hose stuff, afaik these are mostly used by big brands to speed up / ease shop assembly and pretty visible (i think these are not part of the usual st-r785 package - at least not in the kits i installed).
    But i'm not sure how having these on your bike could be problematic to shorten your brake hoses. Actually, I think it would even ease the operation, by allowing you to cut the hose at the joint in addition to brake side / lever side. Just make sure to measure twice before cutting, and to have a few spare olives + a bleed kit "just in case".
