More Info:
It's an older model so the fork has no mounting bosses. Pretty slick! I'll put more in later about the build. I have another wheelset w/ challenge semi-slicks. Trying to decide which tires I prefer. Right now it feels like a monster truck but does fine on pavement. I don't ride long enough to justify clipless but in the summertime maybe things will change. Cheers!
