Rolled it out for the first time with the new tubes. The bungking kickstand block is a little too short so I found some scrap 1/4" aluminium to make 1 or 2 spacers out of. I'm excited to see how it rides with the +4s so I'll just bring a 6" piece of 2x4 with me.

I like how the front tire fills the entire fork width. Looks really close. Get any rubbing?

Me, no rubbing at all. Stock 39mm with a stock size front tire.

Must be the angle. It looks like the tire is only a fraction of an inch from the slider.

About a 1/2" on each side. The longer tubes make it seem narrower. The chumps don't hurt either.

An Illusion...

Even running the next size up tire 110/90-19 (100/90-19 stock) a fender can still be used

It's why narrow glides are the best front ends, ever...

Are you planning on putting the front fender back on or are your going to run without it?

I like it too. Will you be placing longer fork gaiters on it or leave the current shorter ones? That is one nice neighborhood you are in there. tomp
