Rather than just deleting them, I'll share a few. Most of them aren't much to spend your time on, but some of them share the bike I am planning to ride in the morning for my first attempt at The Iceman Cometh Challenge....
The lines of the Air9 Carbon really help a lack-luster photographer. Swooping and leading to a stiff ride, the bike screams fast.
With a little light actually on the bike you get a better idea of what this one is packing. SRAM XX, Sid World Cup XX 29er fork, Thomson stem and post, EDGE carbon bars.
And a new addition, the recently-released PowerTap Pro disc hub. PowerTap has had the SL+ disc hub for a few years, but the newly designed option has shaved a ton of weight (this one was 492g to be exact) and looks a lot better with the matte and gloss black hub rather than polished silver with carbon windows.
A shot of the fork that shaved a couple hundred grams off of my bike. The carbon-crowned SID.
A wild card for Iceman, Kenda Happy Medium 700x40 rear tire. A robust file tread in the center with a tall shoulder, total casing measures 41.9mm on the Stan's Crest 29er rim. These are set up tubeless, of course.
The obligatory wide angle. She's coming in at 21.2lbs with pedals and Garmin 800 mounted. Nothing super-special to make that weight, or at least not easily attainable with a good credit card.Let's see how these choices play out during the race tomorrow.....
Nice build. Did you have any issues with setting up the happy mediums tubeless? I'm looking at the 35 for my gravel race rig and wondering whether the non-SCT will hold up tubeless with stans.

Set up really easy, actually. Probably one of the easier tires I've set up. Only concern I had was with running higher pressure since it's so much smaller than most MTB tires I've run tubeless, but everything worked fine.
