[RBW] Re: Rim recommendations?

If you're considering the H PLUS SON take a look at the DT R460. Ive been very happy with them. They are tubeless compatible and roughly the same section as the Archetype. Primary difference I see between it and the Archetype are that it has a pinned seam, 10 grams lighter, and has a $48.60 MSR

[RBW] Re: Surly Tuggnut on SimpleOne?

I second the Phillip method of tightening the chain. It's even possible to get the chain too tight! Do it a few times and you'll get a feel for it. One additional thing I do is to put a toe strap through the front wheel and frame to keep it from flopping around. This way you can push forward on
