Well, 42's it is. gugie loaned me his tire checker, and 48's aren't fitting in the chainstays. Close, but no cigar.




I already know the 42 will work in front, and this confirms it'll work in back:



I also owe rhm a great deal of thanks for sending me that Grand Bois tire. I hadn't considered putting tan tires on this build - now I know they'll be just the ticket.

No idea, really. I've seen the magnet upgrade before; I've considered that it's also possible (and probably pretty interesting for experiments) to 3D print the magnet adapter. Don't know if one could run larger magnets like that or not...

Do tell, are you running any zener diodes in-line with the GH6? Or straight to the B&M light?

-Kurt
