Cargo Bike progress

[lconley]

I finished the wheels for the Cargo bike. 

Custom ordered polished 48 spoke 650B Velocity Cliffhanger rims (ordered last year for GBW, changed the GBW to a large 700C when this bike became available), NOS Sansin high flange tandem rear hub, 9 year old SON Klassic front dyno-hub, Wheelsmith DB spokes. Kenda Kwick Seven.5 Sport Koffee Skinwall 27.5 x 2.2 tires.

Shimano Altus M310 rear derailleur, ConTek (Tektro 849AL) 120mm V-brakes, NOS SR seatpost, Brooks B-68 Aged Saddle, Double clamp bolt Nitto stem, Nitto Wavie handlebars, IRD NeedL BlastR headset, 172.5 Sun XCD cankarms with 1x VO 44t chainring, chrome pump.

Plenty of clearance for fenders and the V-brakes will clear the fenders. I love the way the tire sidewalls kind of match the saddle. Need to switch to a narrower bottom bracket

Looks lovely. Will you use a chain keeper with the Altus?

 I am planning a Roadini 1x with an Altus rear derailleur and a Wolf Tooth Components dropstop chainring, which I hope will be sufficient. I am putting the chainring in the middle position with a Riv Silver bashguard on the outer slot.

Not planning on using a chain keeper. This will be my commuter - all pavement.
