How can you possibly use all wheels at once?

If there’s one thing I love to do while bombing down a dirt road, it’s taking my hand off the bars to fiddle with a little lever on my downtube to maybe find the next gear I want to be in.

I do enjoy fiddling with a little lever between my legs out in the wilderness.

I’d like it if you cleaned up the dyno wires so it looked equally clean from the NDS and the DS and got some blue housing.
The shifters get a pass because not everyone like easy to use shifters.

Are those the new VO rims? What widthway?
Looks like you ran into the same dynamo routing problems I did.
Any reason that VO chose to go internal rear brake routing instead of continuing the zip-tie mount trend seen on the chainstay & fork?
This was my solution:
Thru spring stabilizer, joins shift cable inside heatshrink tubing:
Parts ways at bottom bracket and loops up to join rear brake hydro hose inside shared heatshrink tubing:
Exits at caliper and kinda loops through the IS mount:
Joins fender stay in heatshrink tubing and connects to rear lamp:

You are a very patient man. That is some great routing. I like the internal brake routing cause it’s really clean and it adds a nice touch of class. I’ve been thinking of drilling the frame for internal Dynamo routing but I don’t want to encourage people to drill their frames out.

- The electric wiring is appalling. Get a drill, punch some holes in the frame, and run the wires inside like G-d themself intended.
- Is that a supernova light?
- No front rack.
- Do you have enough spacers under your locknut?
- I hope those are snow tires, because they look a lot like rubber bricks.

dynamo wire heatshrinked directly to the shifter cable itself is some galaxybrain.jpg

Yes. Everything will be revealed in time…well, when the blog post goes up next week. But they’re good for tires between 38-2.3, and tubeless. I mounted some aggro 2.5s last week, but haven’t ridden them yet.

-What do I look like? An electrician?
-Yes.
-Yes.
-Yes.
-It isn’t snowing here yet. I thought we liked the Thunder Butts? They seem to roll well and are pretty comfy.
Just smang some di2 conduit tape on there and it’s done.

Thunder Burts are A+++ in my book. Still among the best “gravel” tires on the market, despite not being marketed or sold in such a way.
