often hard to tell from a photo, and who knows if the photo is actually what you’re gonna receive

but that said, their photo is of a VERY old version of the packaging…

Are these (hookless) terrible for a roadly-going bike?

we talking road like 42mm tire or 28mm or what. I’d be sorta nervous using those below 40mm based on what I know about rim widths and modern tubeless, but I may be overcautious

I don’t get paying 4x for carbon over dt Swiss when there is no weight savings? Am i missing something?

Stiffness makes the tire work more supple-y I think

And yeah 42+ sizeway. I think it falls outside of the ā€œidealā€ width on the WTB chart, but I don’t actually know how hookless impacts tubeless

I just tension the shit out of them. Have a hard time believing I’d see a difference.

I ordered some EBC greens from Universal and finally got around to installing them.

With the Shimano sintered pads side-by-side, they look identical. I have Saint pads on the front and EBCs on the back and the bite is the same.

Adidas Vegan Sambas, yay or nay?

yea.
I was not convinced, but the light gray toebox element ages in really nicely as soon as you start wearing them around town.

You’ll look like a retired punk gen x parent, but that’s hardly a problem

Won a super lowball ebay auction for a rigid fat fork, 135qr. I think I know the answer but a rear 135qr wheel will fit but disc won’t line up, yes? Aside from not having brakes that should work fine for test ride/fitment uses right?

Also anyone have a 135qr fat front wheel they don’t want?

Is it a pugsley fork? If so i think those were setup to take a rear wheel and have the brakes work

Yeah it totally depends on the fork unfortunately

Kona p2 off some older model Woo

It might be worth shooting an e-mail to somebody at Kona and seeing if some nerd will write you back.

Jones made 135 front hubs that are apparently not compatible with the Salsa/Surly rear-spaced forks and I’m sure there are other 135 front hubs that follow the Jones ā€œstandardā€. The Surly 135 front hubs have rear-spaced brakes for front/back compatibility like @dotMR says. Since your fork is a take-off of a factory bike it could be just about anything.
