Likely doable, I think GB recommends max 2,3” for 60mm, as the profile is relatively flat compared to 50mm. Fitting anything wider than 40mm, particularly something with knobs or spikes was challenging.

Thanks! Actually long 700cx60 but reradiused for 650b making them 67mm wide. Those are 2,2” Conti Racekings, but I have also used Schwalbe Ice Spiker Pro 2,25” in winter.

Yes. And they fit perfectly.

Shimano DH-UR708 is also decent quality. Had the 12mm and quick release versions for many years.

This is Fairlight Faran 54T that I got 2nd hand in Autumn. Mostly GRX, but vintage Dura Ace cranks with Blue Lug NW. And Goatlink to enable 11-51 cassette.

I should take a bit more, and the previous one was actually taken by a friend with proper camera.

Here’s one from the same trip in Northern Estonia.

I managed to find this slightly used and this replaced Pelago Stavanger as I wanted to have more tire clearance for winter and to run 27,5” mtb tires.

I also have 28” wheelset with Ultradynamico Cava 39?? that are in reality close to 36mm at least after 100 km.

The bag is from small Polish brand Babylegsbags.

No problem! And nice Faran as well! I’m using mine with 60mm 700c Berthoud that I managed to massage to a 67mm width for 2,2” Racekings.

Pelago make 35/45/55mm alu fenders in shiny black as well. Don’t know about UK stockists, but at least locally they’re 55€.

Nice project and nice to see that also some of these older not thru axle frames had proper clearances. In terms of mudguards I’d go either 55mm Pelago or 60mm Gilles Berthoud. GB is flatter and does not require that much vertical clearance, at least mine measured 66-67mm externally and clears easily 55mm tire. 50mm GB and 55m Pelago have round profile and don’t clear as much, 38-40 and 45-47mm.

https://bikepacking.com/news/wilde-bikes-wayfinder-fork/ Then there's this new 500 dollars option.

Nice one! I'll suggest her to get those in gumwall then :)

Also considering GP Urbans to replace over 800g Schwalbes for friend's Temple (first one, GF's Mercier second) which also has similar annoying dropouts as Omnium. Would you recommend them?

Okay now I understood. It does, very easily as it's the same bracket used for attaching stays to fork.

Do you simply mean do the mudguards come pre-drilled or not? They do, but I don't think it's an issue as the stays have typically been so long so that they can be easily bent to a desired angle for disc brake etc.

Here's a comparison of 38 GK with SKS Longboards, Pelago and GB, if this helps:

I've used these type of rubberised spacers as in picture:

Silver. GK Slicks fit okay with 45 mm Pelago, EXT or SK not anymore. I would still recommend either 50 mm Berthouds or the new 55mm version of Pelago for that extra clearance and coverage.

Hi from Salsa Lip lock cru! Definitely get braze ons, it's to my understanding fairly easy and fast job for a framebuilder. Or if you want so save some weight I reckon most carbon cyclocross forks have close enough axle to crown measurements.

I'm also a happy owner of such 'roller.

Haven't installed yet on my girlfriends bike. It is indeed tiny. The upper piece is actually aluminium (of course planning to remove the paint) and lower piece plastic. I'm not sure about the waterproofness and will add some silicone between the two pieces.

I had the same issue with Kona P2 fork (wanted to change from threaded to threadless) and a friend luckily could weld few cm of extension.

Ritchey Classic (installed in August to Brother Kepler) is also decent silver headset, but to me it felt very similar as Tange (installed in May to Kona Fire Mountain).

Herrmans H-trace mini is lot more elegant and very cheap at least in German shops. Has worked well with B&M IQ series at least. Pelago actually specs it together with IQ-XS I think. I have wired mine to go inside the Gilles Berthoud mudguard so you can make wiring not to stick out of the light at all.

Thx! It's by Schindelhauer. For some reason mine came without a hole in the faceplate and the logo is unfortunately laser etched, but taking off the paint helped a lot.

If the info is correct it was mankkis in Turku, Finland. I've seen many installing Straggler 650b forks that seem to have pretty much the same axle to crown measurement.

It's Tektro Mini V, maybe RX-6, seems to be quite powerful and has decent clearance even for 38mm tire (now running 30mm), but it's more like an emergency brake in my use.
