More Fargo components have arrived

Cazadero tyres have arrived, plus Stans to mount them tubeless. And a couple of small bottles of sealant for the toolkit.





The Cazadero tread looks like it will be a winner on gravel.
And the cables have arrived too - green of course.

Gravel grinder tyre choice...

After much research I've settled on the 700x42mm Soma Cazadero as my gravel grinder tyre.



Looks quite a rugged tyre with a continuous centre rail that should roll well, and plenty of lugs for edge grip on the gravel. Weight is a reasonable 510gm.

Not tubeless but the forums report successful ghetto conversions.
