I've got to think that DT-Swiss means for things to work without additional fudging so I'll give it a try without an additional rubber helper and see if that seals. Thanks for the reply. Hugh
That sounds like a good possibility. I will say that the supplied stem does appear to make pretty decent contact with the shape of the rim well. I'm mostly concerned about the possibility of the stem being bumped enough…
I'm just getting ready to make the move to tubeless for the DT-Swiss PR-1600 Spline wheels I use on my gravel bike that came "tubeless ready" from the factory. My one current concern is that the holes through the rim…

I need a 142mm and 100mm thru-axle for my Fuji Jari build. I'm floored by how expensive the ones I've seen seem to be. Can any of you recommend a specific make/model of 12mm thru-axle that would work for me that won't…

I'm trying to do an economy build up of my Fuji Jari frame and feel that 46/30 chain rings plus an 11-32 cassette ought to work well for my age/weight/fitness. The Velo Orange Grand Cru 50.4 has an attractive price…

I'm finally starting getting around to building up my Fuji Jari frame and wish to do so on the more economical end of the spectrum. During my search for appropriate wheels I happened upon DT Swiss PR 1600 Spline 32 Disc…

Razorimages, Thanks for the post with excellent picture. I look forward to your future experience/insights with the build and performance of the bike. Hugh

I'm trying to decide if it makes any sense to build up a bare frame with 105 level components compared to purchasing a complete bike. I'm specifically interested in building up one of the Chinese carbon frames. I have a…
