I built my first wheel in 40 years.
Sand rail
White CLD Boost 32
WTB 40mm
SimWorks by Hoshi Peregrine 14g spokes (277mm) radial (bronze in shade, copper in sun. Amazing finish.)
Polished brass spokes
Trued and dished on fork.
Pirelli scorpion 2.6” (2.65” actual)
This took 2x tire stripper and 1x toothpaste to get all the mold release off.
All of that sort of stained the rim.
What’s the best way to completely strip a tire before it goes on?
I know it’s backwards, it was so hard to put on I said f it
Ritchey WCS Steel 15×110
(Should clear a 3.0 tire)
I wish the 2.6 filled up the fork and the fork legs were thicker. May need a custom to dial that in.
S&M ATF 29”
Profile Elite BB, cranks, Sprocket and 16t freewheel
KMC copper chain
Answer headset
S&M stem
Haro kneesaver 1984
GT micro adjust layback 22.2 mm with 25.4mm sleeve. 1984.
Kashimax aero suede
Temporary rear is black ops and S&M speedball
(Looking for slightly larger tire)
Considering front disc, but can’t find a simple, minimalist assembly.
