Thanks! That’s actually very good news. I live in the Southeast. In the low country. We have no mountains. We have no hills. We have no real single track. We do have thousands of miles of fire roads, dirt backroads, and…
There's indisputably a higher risk to buying directly from the manufacturer in China. I agree.
There are certainly examples of things like handlebars from China being crap. But, none that I’ve seen were sold by these vendors. The vendors we’re buying frames from are making frames for brand name companies. That’s…
Hello, I try to search through threads because usually any question I can think of has been answered but I have not found anything on these two bikes. Seraph Store on Ali Express has the GR042 Frame:…
I'm somewhat of a skeptic on manufacturer's claims regarding "stiffness". It's a pretty hard thing to objectively measure and whether it benefits you specifically - that's even harder to measure. There's also some trade…
Unbound. Admittedly that's better than Underground LOL
I'm fine with dropping "Kanza". There was - arguably - some stigma attached to that name. So - fine drop it. But, I am amazed that "Underground Gravel" was the best they could do. Flint Hills 200 as has been suggested.…
This is a fairly popular purchase. I've seen people from this forum to weight weenies that have bought it and talked about the process of building it up. If you just type the 209 model into Google you'll probably find a…
I also have training wheels (The original set that came with the bike) and racing wheels. Which I Haven’t had much opportunity to do. different hubs and rotors on every wheel. Different cassettes as well with 11-28 on…
Since 33-35 are actually the specific sizes I was going to run then the things will just fit.
I will. I was looking at those as well. My issue is wheels. I’ve got HED road wheels which would work absolutely fine but they’re 55mm deep. Not really agile. I’ve got Fulcrum DB 5’s but I haven’t succeeded in getting…
Those are excellent, excellent answers! I also need to buy some protective tape for the downtube and chainstays (fortunately, that doesn't require any guessing) - but, the tire answers were extremely helpful. I'm in…
I live in Savannah. There are many events in Georgia, South Carolina and Central Florida that are within 150 miles. I know the roads around me are hard packed red dirt but I don’t know how far out that goes. Swamp Fox.…
Ugh. i was really really Hoping I try out a gravel race without buying another bike. I already plan on buying another bike anyway. such is life. I’ll keep doing my group rides. that said-the area it’s narrowest is near…
I have a Cannondale Synapse. It has an official clearance for 28C tires. I measured the absolute tightest part of the frame - down at the bottom bracket. The fork and top of the seat stays have more spare room to shove…
