I have no idea (but I want to find out)!! :) I didn't get to ride my Dad's build, since I didn't get in all the parts before I had to head home (at best I could coast around on it). I did, however, read Robert Holler's report after building up Dad's Silvio. I have no reason to believe it...

A number of folks, myself included, run tubeless and have liked it. It improved cornering speed, allowed me to climb steeper hills, and probably decreased the amount I must pedal on the flats. Ditto q-rings. A fair number of folks have tried them and kept them on the bike. Myself included. I...

That page is mostly right, but has some statements which could make it be interpreted the wrong way. For example "side force == friction". More correct/precise "side force <= lateral friction", and at the limit "side force == lateral friction". I could be dragging a tire while going around a...

For what it is worth, I had a squishy rear brake (using TRP Spyre) until I realized I had more housing in the frame than I needed. After removing a few inches (!) of extra housing, my braking was crisp and strong (could lock up the rear). It is another thing to look into if you haven't.

Having assembled this version of the frame for my dad, and having two of the circa 2015-suspended ones... It is very very nice. Unquestionably a step up from a finish standpoint. I hope that they do make an upgrade of the front-end for the older frames. I'd stick it on there in a heartbeat.

Well, I finally collected pictures of my S30 build and stuff during my tour. Gallery is here, including pictures of the two seat angles one can easily get with the seat I chose (Volae Comfort Carbon XL), pictures of packing the S30, how it looked on tour, and some pretty shots from the tour...

Aha, this is what I had purchased, IIRC: https://www.amazon.com/TRP-Carbon-Titanium-Hardware-31-8mm/dp/B007DCFL9S/ref=sr_1_19?ie=UTF8&qid=1484267150&sr=8-19&keywords=trp+brake+levers You thread the cable end through from the "top" of these (i.e. the ball at the end of the cable rests in the...

Hmm did that brake placement work out well? I used a different (reverse) brake on mine (which also uses the lowrider bars). I used something like the Tektro RL720, but I had carbon fiber levers. You can thread the cable/housing in "backwards" on these levers, thus having the cable come out the...
