I've been running terra speeds on allroads or crossmax slr's this season, and it's an awesome combo that inflates with a track pump and valve cores in and holds air for a long time without sealant. I'm really happy with…
Update: Crockett went on to a new home and stoked owner. SUPER light frame all stripped down. I ended up picking up a used Spooky (Dune) frameset and swapping my parts over. So far it's everything I wanted (fitting 45mm…
I have a 2019 Sutra LTD, set up as a full on drop bar 29er with 2.2 Race Kings. It's super fun for riding flowy singletrack, and for long rides where singletrack is the priority, or carrying lots of stuff. It's very…
I've long agreed with that. It's my ideal road bike, for sure. A bit more gravel on the geometry side, and fits a 31mm tire nicely. It's really a cool machine, and a set of the new GP5000 tires should really wake it up.
Ti doesn't always mean complaint, especially in a production (not custom) setting. My Salsa Colossal Ti is far from a compliant noodle. It's the stiffest bike in my fleet. It does a great job on road buzz, but it's not…
Re: Warbird compliance- it would have to be the V3 Warbird, I don't think there is a V4 aluminum (or I would own one). It appears they went cheap (journeyman) and niche (stormchaser) and single material on the 'bird…
Wow, this thread turned out great! My thoughts are, in terms of mass production, The Trek stuff probably is the top of the game. If they redid the Checkpoint like the 2021 Crockett (t47, fixed rear end, tubeset from the…
Hi all: I'm riding a 2020 Crockett right now. It's snappy, and has a great ride quality, especially for the price. There are a few things about it that could change to be more suited to the riding I do. The point is…

Chas: I think my rides would be like the Massive Fallout up your way, but cutting out the bits that would be no fun at all on drop bars. chas wrote: You are doing all that on a gravel bike? Sweet! Yeah, terraspeesd are…
My Hurricane Ridge were well over 500g each if I remember correctly. And when I say "thicker" regarding the Hurricane Ridge, the casing is thinner, but the tread are basically solid rubber knobs. It's a super…

Let me be the first to say I have too many tires. My drop bar 29 is currently set up with new generation Race Kings (really excellent), and my gravel bike has two wheelsets ready to drop in: one with Barlow Pass…
