The idea is to have the flats where your normal bars are. Which is exactly why you need a tall stem.

The way I heard it was, 753 was basically heat treated 531. Because it was stronger, Reynolds could recuce the tubing thickness. Hence, the I.D. became smaller because the tubing was thinner.

Typically, 753 tubing used a 27.4 seapost. I would check first. If you use a 27.2 and clamp it down, you might crack the lug. Don't ask me how I know.

Wheel Dishing

Is it safe to re-dish a wheel 5mm on one side? I have a 130mm wheel that I want to put a spacer on to bring it to 135mm.

Carbon is lighter. It isn’t a contest as far as durability goes. The Mavic rims are superior. It really boils down to weight vs durability. Plus, I don’t have a set of carbon rims in the basement.
