Well the new Panaracer Comet Hardpack 650b x 2.0" tyre landed late yesterday afternoon so that was first job of the day. I will not go into too much detail as I will cover the full review in a later Fresh Goods Sunday but lets say there is still plenty of mud clearance around the lefty. So now the Slate is a semi Monster Cross bike? Below is a couple of pics though -

Then its was onto rebuilding my Cannondale Super X Hi Mod, I have robbed a few parts from it over the last few months or so and was out of commission so rebuilt it back up in to a usable bike again.
I fitted some better Mavic wheels, Gravel king 28c rear tyre and a new Mavic Allroad 30c tyre to the front. Found a saddle and handlebars then refitted the bar tape. Finished it off with a ass saver, bottle cage, pump, bell, pedals and Garmin mount. All is good ands she is ready to rock and roll.
interesting thread, im thinking of getting a slate, do you think the 2.0 would also fit on the rear?
ReplyDeleteNo room for a 5" on the rear, only get a 2" on the front as it has a rigid lefty fork.
