that is sharp. really nice rim/tire combo. maybe next time remove the black backdrop though so all your black components really stand out.

Looks very nice, but it looks like you run out of tire clearance when the axle is all the way forwards in the track ends. Easily avoided, but maybe something to watch out for next time?

yeah its close but there is about 1mm of clearance. the axel is all the way forward in the pics without the ring on.

Ah, I see. Must just be the angle. Looks like you took that into account then. Well done! I can't get over how great (and complete) a job you did on this.
