I have yet to actually ride on the 'prepped' wheels as Elsa (R100RS) borrowed my /6 spoked wheels for a couple hundred miles of shakedown riding. Once I finish the '10 year refresh' (now the 13 year refresh!) on my /6 I'll be working on Elsa, full teardown for general leak-fixing and chassis bling-a...

I've had no issues getting my street-tired bikes to any sensible dirt road destination, like a hiking trailhead and the like: https://photos.smugmug.com/Adventures-2019/i-2TJwdXq/0/LxhMzMc4SrCsfRK9mmfRqnNq9WShc8jhKJJsbR7QV/XL/299Falls051520191-XL.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Adventures-2019/i-jvdp...

Yes, you'll be filing the rings to proper spec for end gaps. 1st OS rings will overlap in a standard bore.
