Beautiful bike! If only the seatpost were routed internally, is internal routing not possible with titanium?

Is there a bike in that picture? I can't stop drooling over the workshop setup. The Volcano is the most essential tool of all.

Looks beautiful! That bottle on the downtube underside though... deal breaker.

It was a bummer to see those chips in my frame after two rides. I ordered the touch-up paint off of Ibis's website and touched it up before putting the new adhesive protector on that spot. Ibis has touch up paint for every frame color they offer on their site.

Gotta get extra wrap on the chainstay... I have the same chips in mine from chain slap, the OE chain protector doesn't extend out far enough.

The best trick for seating a stubborn bead is to set up the tire with a tube at max pressure. Leave the tube in for about 30 mins then take it out and try to set up tubeless. It's called training the bead and works pretty much every time.

One factor to consider is if the tape is too thick or wide, it can sometimes create issues with seating the beads into the rim because the tape crowds the area of the rim's bead hook channel.
