Braking
I was both pleased and relieve to find that the reasonably new Shimano 105 calipers from my old road bike have sufficient reach and clearance for 700x25 tyres and full 35mm mudguards. This is good as not only do I like these brakes, but it saved the expense of buying a new set. You can see the crossover of the cable required here to run it down the right hand side of the top tube. The rim and caliper pivot are showing the effects of the limited number of winter runs I got out on in December and January.
