Do you notice any additional flex in the wheel due to narrow flanges? Also,

Hi, Patrick. Glad you're liking the bag! I bought a Small, with

My go-to hub is the Shimano Alfine. I have two or three such wheels now. No
complaints! I've used several Schmidt hubs over the years, too, but I find its
hard to justify the price difference.

I have a new pair of red magnesium platforms and took them for 2 rides

I know it's not supposed to matter but can I ask what shoes you were
wearing?
What is the ask on the Shimano platform/spd pedals?

The proliferation of high quality "BMX style" pedals has been one of the
best new trends in cycling in the last couple years, in my opinion. I'm
partial to the Sun Ringle Zuzu because they're lotsa bang for the buck, but
the various VP pedals are really nice.

Sometimes if you're patient enough and wait long enough good things come
your way. This is the case (in my case, anyway) with Riv's new platform
pedal offering from VIP. When I spied these on their web catalog I ordered
a pair right away and have not been disappointed with them in any way -
