What I wait for is for everyone else to buy something, have a new shiny object to turn their heads and then sell the "old" object of desire for 40% of retail.

Yeah...I'm a vulture.

They already make GK in 32mm slicks, just gotta ask for em in slick instead of knobby. they are very nice!

Does the new Thomson setback post mean my fugly Thomson "bent" setback post will become a valuable collectors item ?
Velo orange raid? Velocity dyad?

I guess they are a little narrow that 25mm is tough,

Indeed! Fantastic news!

They're called Gravelking "Nearly Slick":

My experience with velocity rims is just., hmmm not good.

For example zipp has/had a set of clinchers with aero aluminum rims, why in the world they never produced a set of tubulars of those rims, other brands is the same...

Super Record EPS wireless, of course. V 2.0 so they can sort out the bugs.

I have built many. When they were made in Australia, no issues. When they moved production to Florida..poor QC, some sizing issues, etc. BUT I have recently built about a dozen..A23, 700c and 650b, Major Toms, a set of Escapes, 3 Deep V, and it seems the issues are behind them.

I had a demo Waterford track bike with ProElites and they built very nice(Record Pista hubs)..
