Bought it complete, put it together last night, rode it this morning, easy peasy.

The fat tire thing is interesting. smoooooooth.

the brakes, now thats pretty cool. one finger power, thats what i was after.

next step is to get it rigged up as my flyfishing bike. picked up a rear rack today and gonna start to brainstorm.

Wow dude! Can’t wait to see it. Knew you were up to something. Curious to see what wheels you got.

FWIW, I think it’s super smart you decided to rebuild your XT-1. I mean what’s really better? Nothing imo.

I bought a pair of the Enve G23, laced to some DT Swiss 240’s
. For tires I have some 34mm Vittoria gravel tires on it
