regardless.. plenty of clearance with the br-r600.
The gravel kings mentioned above^ measure 37.46mm on an 18mm internal rim as well.
I dont' have a ton of time on the mr pink but it feels damn good with the carbon fork.. i had the pink one, and ended up sizing down and bought bmeryman's frame. Its a practical bike that can handle a big tire and feels great at speed and getting to speed. I ride 95% gravel so keep that in mind as far as my review is concerned. may not translate to roadie life idk. One thing that sucks is airing the tires down to pull the wheel but thats the only negative ive experienced. good luck with your search

Paul Racer brakes > calipers for that reason. Plus better power and modulation than calipers. My all-road bike has 2 sets of (alu rim) wheels/tires for pavement and gravel, I love the Pauls with both. They're expensive, but the one component that you'll move to the next bike when you move on, assuming you don't drink the disc Koolaid in the meantime. As long as I'm using alu rims, I don't see a need for discs on a gravel bike, no complaints about the Pauls. Opinions vary
