Current Stage Info:

I got a nice set of wheels and Gravelking tires for a good price, since the old one has a worn out brake surface. My old wheelset will be used for winter with the Schwalbe tires. I also replaced the Pelago rack with this off-brand canti rack. I've had it in my parts bin and I've decided I'll use it now, since I sometimes want to use the basket and sometimes not. This rack makes the bike look good without a basket on top of it.
