Thank you for your extensive reply!
It is a 29er wheel and it has been laced before. That might explain.
Thank you again!

Hi guys, do you see anything wrong with this pattern? A got it made for me, didn't do it myself.
Apologies for the rushed photo.

If it's near a seam, I use the sandpaper or if at home, a new Stanley blade to file off / cut off the little ridge at the seam.

My point was, you CAN get one at Schipol.

Only if you fly with that specific airline.

They sold me 3 when I wasn't flying with them. It did say KLM on the box though.

In theory

I've had few of these. Just out of interest, once I reported my bike "stolen" via the app and continued using the bike in busy central London locations over a course of about 5 days. Nobody picked up the Bluetooth signal of my bike!!!!!!

Sort of related label

I'm prepared to take that risk.

I'm looking to get some TRP disc brakes from FLeebay Taiwan, they're about half the UK price.
Am i gonna have to pay customs fees? Are they fakes?
Anyone been down this route before?
CHeers!

shows very nicely how much extra clearance you get with a Spyre/spyke caliper; quite a lot!

cheers

Thanks Brucey, this photo is great!

unnamed

Wow! Thank you everyone for their input!
Really useful!
I think I'll upgrade to the Spyke and go from there once I see the clearance.

unnamed

Thanks guys, yeah I might need both, slimmer calipers AND disc rack.

I gave up on the disc brake and went back to using rear cantilevers, mounting a rack securely was a main reason for doing so.

No, it only has fitting for discs.

unnamed

I have a Genesis Fortitude with BB7 brakes and a non disc Tubus rear rack,but there's not enough clearance to fit the rack.
Would TRP cable actuated brakes give enough clearance? Or shall I get a disc comp rear rack?
What's best?

Was this ever found?
