You were better off with the Sprinters in the pic than with Rally tires- I'd head back that direction.
Appreciate your input!
Seat post is CF as is - original from BMC. It has a custom profile (D-shape), so don’t know how easy replaceable it is.
I’m aware the Rally tires aren’t optimal weight wise, but my assessment was that the bike will be ridden in wet conditions frequently, and the Sprinter tires won’t be as versatile as the Rally ones.
Maybe a second stealth CF wheelset is the way to go, although I can almost hear the sound of a massive amount of money flying out from my wallet 😂
