Did you give them a good spin and shake and let them lay on their sides for a while? That will let the sealant close all the pores in the sidewalls. See this vid, starts around 1:28…

Here's a picture of the machining they did.

I had just this mod done by https://www.lascoconcept.com/en/11s-cassette/ Had to buy the cassette and send it to them because they don't offer that specific one but it went fine.
Take a look here https://ridepdw.com/products/full-metal-fenders-650-beast?variant=2994455707661# They were a little heavy but solid. (I no longer have them or the bike)

I had a steel Renegade a couple years ago and it fit 650bX47 with fenders just fine. With 700c I don't think you could do much bigger than 34s, maybe 36 but it would be tight.
34/36-46 with 11-36 is a great combo for me. I have and have had that on several bikes including a (since sold) Jamis Renegade. (I agree, the 11-34, 34-50 left a bit to be desired) I should think that 30-46/11-36 would…
Yep, been riding 650b wheels/tires for years on paved roads and a mix of paved and dirt. Every since Rawland introduced the Olaf and Rivendell the Saluki. I just like the way the fatter tires ride, corner and soak up…
Does he want drop bars? The Salsa Vaya is close-stack is slightly lower but reach is spot on in the largest size. https://salsacycles.com/bikes/vaya/2020_vaya_grx_600 If he wants upright bars, I'd look for a hybrid.…
12mm sleeve adapter works fine in my older (M-15/16) White Industries 15X100 hub, too, fwiw. It was a wheelset I had around, though-if I were starting from scratch I'd probably look for a 12X100 hub or one with…
Wish there was a way to report spam in this forum.
I've liked both the Ritchey bars with 12degrees of flare and the Easton bars with 16. Much more than that and I think you're moving into dirtdrop territory, bars that are designed to be mounted high and have you riding…
Also, consider a custom Gunnar Hyper-X. If you want it to ride like your Waterford, they could do it if anyone could!
As a general rule of thumb, look for bikes with a frame weight (not including the fork) of under 4 pounds. That doesn't guarantee a lively ride but it is a good place to start. I've been pretty pleased with the ride…
quikstik has always worked well for me.
This thing is wild! I don't need it, don't have a use for it, but I still want it! https://bearclawbicycleco.com/beaux-jaxon-titanium-gravel-plus-bike/
