@DKeane Yup - dedicated crock pot for the wax and a dedicated pot to boil the chains. I was able to justify the ultrasonic cleaner by telling my wife I'd clean all of her jewelry.
I use MSW exclusively on all my bikes. I've found that the initial cleaning to remove all traces of grease and lube is crucial to getting good performance out of any wax. I do a triple solvent wash, followed by…

I've run both the Ultegra Di2 FD suggested above with sub-compact gearing (both 46/30 and 48/32) and the GRX mechanical FD with a non-Shimano crankset having a standard chainline and 46/30 chainrings. Both function…

Maxxis also has the Refuse with MaxShield TL. It's a good rolling tire and is available in 700x40c.
We are spec'ing the Terreno Dry in a 650b x 47 on our MY20 Breeds. I have them mounted to rims with 21mm inner width and they measured 48.25 at 30psi. I also measured the same tire in the 700c x 33 size on the same rim…
I'm a big fan of the Vittoria Terreno Dry in the 650x47 size. They roll fast on pavement and the ride just gets better on gravel. For 700x35s, check out the Maxxis Refuse tires.... maybe even bump up to a 40c if you…
Has anyone tried out the Maxxis Refuse in the 700x40c size? They seem to set-up tubeless well and roll fast on the pavement. Sidewall cuts have not been an issue and the casing feels pretty supple. The lack of tread…
I too ride the DRY version and find that they roll well and on par with the Schwalbe tires. I have not ridden the Zeroes. What size G-Ones was your buddy riding and did you check weights on the tires?

I noticed on the rear rack mounts that it looks like the eye-bolts that support the rear rack are missing the lock nut. The eye-bolt should be threaded into the dropout, then the lock nut tightened to secure the…
