    I don’t recommend Spesh 2.6 unless your rims are at least 33mm. I use Spesh 2.6 at 35mm and it’s great there. It’s pretty balloony and lots of sidewall roll on your typical 29mm trail rim.

    I’ve seen a roof box mounted to a cargo tray on a front receiver. Front airflow is probably not a concern in the winter and most headlamps and turn signals are pretty high up.
