Upgraded wheel set from Poseidon has the stock Maxxis Pursuer (32c, measured as 35mm), set up as tubeless – for commute and road.
Stock whel set, which is not bad at all, has Schwalbe Allround 35c, also tubeless – for casual offroad.
I had to straighten some of rotors a bit to make sure none of them rubs the brake pads.
Man these tires are so comfy! Especially compared to the 28c on my previous bike.
About Microshift Sword:
- I like the brake lever design, almost the same as GRX – great leverage, great shape.
- I like the gear range, highest 50/11 still plenty fast for me; lowest 34/38 should help with offroad.
- Coming from 105 11-speed mechanical rim brake, Sword shifts more like Tiagra, but that's good enough for me.
- Compressionless housing on these brakes work wonders. I left a skid mark on test ride with the Allround and have to remind myself to go easy on it when commuting on the Pursuer.
- The only thing I feel a bit awkward now is pushing the smaller shift pedal from the drop. Seems a bit too high for my index finger. Repositionthe lever maybe?
Overall, I really like this bike and my setup. Everything that I need and nothing that I don't.
I can't answer anything and everythiing, but ask away and I'll try to answer!
