I am running 32mm Schwalbe Pro Ones on rims with 25mm internal width (pretty wide). I like 'em a lot. There is room to go up to 35mm...

Clever. I will try some of this out the next time I do brake work.

I bedded in the pads for the new front brake. They work impressively well. Installed the rear brake today. I reused the existing...

That is a Shimano Di2 front derailleur, with the wire running behind the derailleur and chain catcher, held to the stalk by a zip-tie...
