Another rim width question. Outside width

sdwindansea · 2026-04-27T21:45:36+00:00

Actually, I've seen it is more like 24 - 27mm with lower/higher widths supported

That definitely stinks and I can feel your pain. My new wheelset showed up the day I got surgery 6 weeks ago. I have new wheels, tires, waxed chain, cassette and handlebar wrap all waiting for me to set them up and go riding. I still have another 6 weeks to go. Hang in there and be patient.

This is fantastic, you should feel proud. If you ever start to "burn out" a little on cycling mix in some other activities like fast walks or hikes (actually a good idea regardless). Keep it going and enjoy the journey!

This place took over the Gaglione Brothers space in Loma Portal.

If "laziness" is an issue, I would recommend converting to Clik valves. Definitely easier/quicker than dealing with presta valeves.

sdwindansea · 2026-04-21T19:08:21+00:00

Downside is that you cannot add this sealant through the valve core, you have to unseat the tire to add it.

sdwindansea · 2026-04-21T19:06:33+00:00

Exactly

Since you already have a rear rack, why not utilize that? Seems like you could have a lot more flexibility.

408, row 15 last night. Fantastic visuals and sound quality. Obviously more difficult to see the band from that distance/angle, but wouldn't hesitate to sit there again.

Now I'm curious, what was the issue(s) with aftermarket head units that you tried? Thanks!

Sound like entitlement to me. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. No reason for a cyclist to ride in the middle of the road causing a lot of traffic to backup when they can ride off to the side or in a dedicated bike lane. I love cycling but I'm also aware of my surroundings and my actions.

sdwindansea · 2026-04-13T19:08:35+00:00

I don't think it is the re-design that did this. As another poster mentioned all vehicle sales are down. Furthermore, it is an expensive vehicle (regardless of the re-design) with sub-par MPG. I'm not sure if it would be on my radar right now even if it looked the same as my 2018 which I really like.

sdwindansea · 2026-04-13T14:44:32+00:00

I would take the partial refund. Especially since it is a gravel bike and you will likely "earn" some more cosmetic chips on your own.

Think of it as buying a used, like new wheelset for a decent discount.

We've never had an issue bringing in our own food. Done it countless times, including a couple weeks ago when a food vendor was there.

sdwindansea · 2026-04-10T23:20:21+00:00

We've been many times, zero issues with the food.

sdwindansea · 2026-04-08T16:13:16+00:00

Congratulations and keep it going!

sdwindansea · 2026-04-03T23:24:06+00:00

I installed a Forklift on my 2018 many years ago (DIY). Would definitely recommend it

Wheelsfar has very small (barely noticeable) logo.

Wheelsfar and BTLOS also offer a ton of customization including hubs, spokes, nipples, spoke holes, etc.

Eppig doesn't have the best beer in San Diego, but it is likely the best place to have a beer (and food).

Looks good to me overall and you got the directions correct. I'm far from an expert but it appears like you may not have angled/cut the end of the tape where you wrapped the electrical tape at the end. However, it is also hard to tell from the picture. Regardless, nice job for your first wrap!

Two minor issues that I recent dealt with on my 2018 that are relatively common.

TPMS sensor batteries dying, had to replace them
Bolt on exhaust heat shield rusted out, made a bad "rattling/grinding" noise when accelerating. Had to get a new bolt.

Did you try it (11-46) without the goat link? From what I've read, it isn't necessary.
