My C2W Boardman Team FS is looking imminent now, but I have a few questions about interchanging some favourite parts from my old HT....

Despite not finding any concrete facts, it appears that the Ritchey OCR wheels aren't tubeless compatible?

It looks as though the rear-wheel's quick-release (20mm up-front), so I presume my Mavic XM819/XT UST QR wheel will fit fine?

I've heard bad things about the Truvativ DriveFirex 3.2 chainset so I'm not expecting it to last too long. I have a brand-new M660 SLX chainset boxed up at home, is it compatible?

I have an Easton-Vice 85mm stem and EA70 bar which I like the reach/feel of, how does this compare to the stock Ritchey items in terms of weight/quality?

What's the seatpost clamp size? (I believe it comes with a bolt-up seat clamp rather than QR)

Do SRAM shifters/mechs still operate on a different pull/movement ratio to Shimano (I have XT on my HT), making then non-interchangeable?

    You could convert the Ritchey rims, but they're not designed to be run tubeless no.

    Chainset will fit fine, I'd wear out what you've got first.

    Vice stem is heavier, bars are comparable.

    Don't know clamp size, would guess 34.9.

    Shifters/mechs are not interchangeable.

    I'll stick a rimstrip in the front then and use the UST wheel on the rear.

    I'll hold onto the SLX chainset and fit it when the bike's out of warranty :roll:

    I'll stick with the Ritchey items 'till they come a cropper then.

    Anyone know the actual seat clamp size?

    Looks like I'll be sticking with SRAM X7 shifters/mech then :x
