BTW the Ryobi has an accurate digital gauge built in.
I bought one of these a couple of years ago and have been more than happy with it. The cost was about $65 via ebay and Home Depot has them for about the same price. I added the presta valve attachment from Prestacycle…
When the Tour of the Battenkill started in 2005 everyone did it on skinny tires. You might run 28mm if you could fit them. Now I use a gravel bike and wider tires but years ago you either did it on a road bike or a…
I have a Shimano ST-R785 Di2 setup with an 11-40 cassette, a 46/30 Sugino crank, and a Wolf Tooth road link. It works OK for me. The front shifting can be a bit wonky. By that I mean that shifting up to the 46 is not as…

If it were me I'd patch it from the inside. Just trim the strips on the inside rather than remove them completely. BTW Stan's has a new type of plug that bonds with the sealant to create a permanent seal.…
I'll second Shiggy on getting whatever hubs you want. In theory they should all work. In practice a millimetre can mean rubbing rotors and, as Shiggy noted, easy enough to adjust. My concern is if you change wheels…
I'd go for the second cassette. It will make swapping wheels much faster. I'd also try to get the second set with the same hubs as the original set so that the rotor spacing will be the same. Otherwise you may need to…
If I'm not mistaken Shimano chains come with a quick link.
Anything by Shimano. They have many options.
I have a couple of FSA cranks and they have worked well for me.

I'm running a Di2 set up with a 46/30 and an 11-40 cassette using a Road Link.
Why not 48/34? That combo should be available in 110 bcd. I'm running 46/34 on both road bikes and, for me, it's just about perfect.
Between 30 and 40psi. I believe max tubeless is 60 and I see no reason to go anywhere near that.
