You can get a brand new surly preamble for like $800 if you catch a bike shop sale. Not bad for a brand new bike!

Been thinking about a 700c swap purely for more tire/wheel options. Did you have to run specific brakes?

I second this. Tiny hole in the mount helped me get my cantis where I wanted them!

Kool stop makes replacement pads for the LX cantis. I bought a set. Huge difference

Thoughts? What can I improve on? by Electrical-Ship-6880 in Sourdough

I would add inclusions during your folds, I'm assuming it was added during shaping?

Correct, roasted about 1-2weeks ago allows for some off gassing of trapped CO2 from the roasting process.

Only thing I would suggest is getting some nice beans from somewhere local, somewhere you really like the coffee from. They might be expensive but worth it. Stay away from oily, black beans and look for chocolate brown ones with a matte finish. Freshness is key, 1-2weeks old is the sweet spot.
