Continental Contact Urban - Grand prix Urban if you’re feeling flush

Nyloc definitely a good shout

Second paragrahp of original post

*QR sliding dropouts

Could've gotten the equipment used or perhaps made in Denmark.. But I agree, thinking of how particular the Swedish sales branch, of the company I work for, is about adhering to Swedish specs, it does seem kind of odd.

Btw. Denmark is the only country using this standard, and it was illegal to use EURO material until quite recently. And the only reason seems to be aesthetics.

With a little hat on

Every Danish earthed socket looks like that. The ones on the right are more or less obsolete standard for computer use

How's the handling with a 90mm stem?
I've ridden Kyotes with 45mm and 70mm and I would be worried it would slow steering down

Just googled the Preffisio and I think the Allways would be a good fit.

I bought a set of nylon Crankbrothers Stamp on clearance that I am eager to try on the atb when no mudguard riding is viable again - pins on those are 2-3 times longer than anything else I've ridden, so I'm worried they'll just chew up the soles of my shoes.

I have a set of Lambda that are around 8-10 years old by now - and for casual and gravel riding, I haven't lacked grip, even without the pins.

I agree that is part of the reason I haven't bought a set, even though they are on sale at danish shop..

I have a set of MKS Allways, which are very nice, if a touch on the narrow side for my feet/singlespeeding

Pretzel is the diecast full width version of the Lambda/Gamma, though I'm not entirely convinced of the aesthetics

What kind of road bike? Big tube carbon or slender tube steel - or something inbetween..?
For classic-ish steel something like the MKS Sylvan Gordito or Lambda could work

I'll try to find some too!

Congratulations! Well earned imo.

I'll be looking forward to reading about your trip. I still go back to your piece on bikepacking.com every once in a while.

That is a good look! How big are those tyres?

Easiest way to cover your cargo in road filth. No mudguards is a weird flex

I figured as much. Seeing the yellow one just reminded me of your red wcs stem

Positive rise stems a few years back were awful, but recently they are not bad and it really suits the build!!

A bit of topic - but I stumbled across this conversation again, and figured you might a appreciate positive rise painted stem.

Pelago sell some pretty cheap disc brake forks on their website. Could be sweet with a disc up front

Wow, that is an impressive amount of crud :O

Schwalbe Pro One or Continental Contact Urban - choice would depend on budget i reckon.

Wow.. never thought I'd make it here

I think Hayley would be proud of the way you put that into words.
She will be missed.

Why not go for larger chainrings and sprockets if you're buying new anyway?
It would (theoretically) be more efficient and cause less wear on the components.

That was not the update I was hoping for, but thank you for sharing it.
You are probably closer to the ones close to Hayley than I am, so if possible give them my condolences. I am sorry for your loss.
