Just swapped to a 2021 36, put a longer air shaft in right out of the box. Gonna try it out tomorrow...
Also messed up the chainstay somehow and the carbon is fraying so Trek pulled through and sent me a new one. I’ll probably install it next week

Just put a Brooks on mine too. Made a difference for sure.

UPS guy paid me a visit today too.
Is that an insert? If so, you do that instead of running tubeless with a sealant like Stan's?
yes its an insert, no i doesnt replace sealant, still a tubeless setup still need sealant

I got the same ones last week. They work great and are so light!
I think they will be serious competition for cushcore.
will have to get a ride in on them and report back, i wrestled them into the tires last night. 🙄

On one of my tires I didn't have the side-notch of the insert lined up with the rim's valve. The tire didn't seat correctly when I inflated it (holding air but the tire was off center in a spot). Then, I couldn't completely deflate the tire because air was trapped inside. I spent an hour trying to break the bead with different clamps. Tannus tech told me to unscrew the valve and push it inward to release the air which worked. I set it up properly and all is good now.
I can tell you if you go flat your tire will NOT come off that rim!
yea i discovered that this morning, one tire was flat (leaking around the valve 🙁 ) so i had to take it apart and replace the valve. what a shit show that was. although 2nd time getting them on was easier.
This showed up
most suprised by the weight of the cogset in whole. Pretty respectful. Shifter kinda bulky but action is super smooth. Derailleur definitely is legit, not some piece of garbage, very optimistic about this groupo for $180.

What size is it?
First ordered the AXS Reverb 150mm which is 440mm long but the 440 is too long so ordered the 125mm today which is 390mm. I'd gotten a nice Amazon gift card from work that was burning a hole lol.

After several thousand fork rebuilds, I still put the rebound screw on the wrong side 50% of the time.
