The greater good, mankind, world peace? I don’t know.
Why do I have to build my bikes with matchy-matchy components? I don’t know either but I do. Latest installment, light blue El Mariachi with new wheels and tires as well as matchy blue seat post clamp. You can’t see the hubs but they’re blue hopes, rims are WTB Asym i35. Tires are Rekon 29x2.6, they fit perfectly moving the wheel a little farther away from the the BB. It’s a little bit of a porker at 28 lbs, I wasn’t impressed he by that considering the same frame in SS is about 24 lbs. Guess I’m on a diet.

WTB rims, what a PITA to set new tires on them, same as the KOM, it takes a while for the welded seam to stop micro leaking.
really well done.
