Finished tinkering w/the checkpoint. Swapped out the remainder of apex to force: shifters, brakes. I bought the same wheelset I had before and threw some Thunderburt 2.1 on them. Not a fan of swapping tubeless tires, as it’s messy, and decided to have a wheel set per tire. This tire measure a hair over 50mm on these hoops. The extra 3mm of tire is noticeable over 47mm pathfinders; I’m not sure if it’s a thinner casing or just placebo, but the ride feels way more plush. At some point, going to check out some 2.2” Conties next.

That’s a good looking bike.
The red wraps go well with that colorway.
They did such a great job with these new checkpoints. Only place they dropped the ball is witb those framebags… weird that they don’t really fit the bikes they’re made for
