moots cross got the carbon wheel upgrade yesterday - reynolds status dv tubular cross wheels with tufo tires.
surprisingly, compared to my front king wheel with open pro's - the reynolds felt of relatively the same weight. however, the rear wheel felt a lot lighter.
somewhat of a disappointment on my new adjustable canti brake pad gizmo.
while this looks like a great idea, and gives an option where there is none, the adjuster bolt it is just too big and does not leave any room for the post itself. i could of ran it, but the adjustment would of been so minimal that running them was of very little benefit.
additionally, the mount uses a standard brake pad - and i would of preferred to use the longer pad that is avaialable with the standard swisstop canti pads.
and due note - these are just in the prototype stage. ask the guys at the 'goat for the full details on availability, but i know it is no time soon!
great idea though - would like to see the next version of it make these two "upgrades". just my 2 cents...
that's it - last cleveland cross series race this weekend will decide 1rst place in the a's and it looks like the bad storm that we were expecting is going to miss us, but the temps are going to be "slightly" chilly.
gotta run - sologat out.
