will do. i can already tell you, there seem to be a lot of parts to work with, so if you recoil in horror at the sight of a box from ikea, you're probably not going to be into these.
although after reading through the instructions and watching an install video on youtube, it seems pretty straight forward.

I have a set of those, I have used them the last 3 years during the winters in Okinawa, and now Italy. They are amazing, and used all over the UK. They have held up great for me except the little furry things you put an the sides. I ended up losing a couple, but I just went to a store that sells paint supplies and got one of those edge paining things and cut it to fit. Works perfectly. I have also heard they can get brittle in the really cold, but nothing I have seen yet. Those things kept me clean, and dry (at least from the road) and kept my bike clean too.

The LBS ordered me a case of ultralight tubes and insisted on vittoria, so I said fine. We agreed on 60mm stem and that was that.
I now am reading they only go up to 51mm so it's gonna be a return!

Ordered some of these... arriving Wednesday or so. $800 at performance. They're older designs, so not toroidal and probably slim in the "width" measurement but I'll look cool going slow on the bike path.

I just ordered a BDop DIY wheelset.
I can get parts at dealer cost, but when you include tax and shipping, his prices were impossible to beat.
I wonder how long the shipping will take.

What build kit did you go with? I know you've been asking about Tubeless Tires so what rim did you decide on?

I picked up some Tubeless Schwalbe One's in a 700x23 and got out on them yesterday for a 50 mile shakedown. I know it was one ride but they far exceeded my expectations. My average speed for the duration of the trip was up 1.5mph and my top speed went from 34.9 to 38.6 mph. I've ridden the same route over a hundred times last year and never had these numbers and if my next ride results in the same I'll be sold on their performance. They seemed to spin up quicker than the Fusion 3's I had before even though they weigh slightly more. Nice Tires.

Nice, I'm sure you will, but please report back when you assemble the kit and let us know what you think. I have been thinking about either getting a kit or just having a set built so I need some feedback, Thanks!

My first set of serious bib shorts, Assos T Fi.Mille s5 bib shorts. After lots of research and reading way too many threads and customer feedback, I hope they live up to their reputation.

For my roadbike, FSA Wing compact pro 40mm handlebars, shimano 105 compact crankset, 11-28 cassette, and some red/black bottles/jersey/bibs. A530 pedals for my singlespeed. Nothing fancy, can't wait to smash!

Shimano 105 5800 and Shimano Ultegra 6800 wheelset.
A little nervous about the 16 front spokes, 20 rear on the wheels, but the reviews say they are strong wheels. 1640g for the pair. I think the solution is just that I loose weight.
