I’m sorry, I dozed off. Something about wheel size?
Drop me an email at folpe(dot)andrew(at)mayo(dot)edu if you want to discuss.
Yes, they are.

Thanks, guys. Looking at the rolling resistance webpage, jumbo Jim’s seem to win by a mile. Some 4s ought to cover my needs.
Thanks. I'm trying to see what I can do without buying new wheels, for any of my bikes. This is a completely unnecessary project, as I have two (3 actually) other gravel bikes. But I was thinking it might be fun to have…
Have been thinking about using my FB more in the non-winter, instead of going with really wide tires on my gravel bike. I'm currently running studded 4.8's. I have some Kenda Juggernauts that came with the bike, and I…
Yes, other gloves might survive better. I should add that I also used the Chaval gloves for snowshoeing with poles, so they were getting pounded on. I think their electronics were a bit fragile for this. They are super…
I had some heated gloves from Chaval. They are pricey, but they worked extremely well. They were also quite warm even with the heat off. Why am I writing all in the past tense? Because they failed after about 18 months,…
Wow, that's an old post. Well, the Wednesday before that I did a hard endo right onto my head, destroying my helmet. I actually rode away from it, thinking I was totally ok. The next day I was at work, and my left eye…
Thanks. I ended up deciding to go a little different direction. Found a nice used Ti bike with modern Ultegra. Will just keep bikes as is for now.
Hi all Having given my older gravel bike to my son, I'm looking to build up a backup/winter gravel bike. Thought was to buy a relatively inexpensive aluminum frame (because- winter, salt, etc) and move the groupset from…
As others have pointed out, the aerodynamic qualities of wheels can have a substantial impact on performance and safety, particularly in strong crosswind situations. On gravel bikes, speeds are lower than on the road,…
Custom Ti electric-assist trike with 5cm tires. :- )
Dinotte. http://dinottelighting.com/ US made, great quality, incredible value. run time of about 3 hours at >2000 lumens, much longer at lower settings. batteries are inexpensive so you can have a spare. mount is…
Everything is. Got an email yesterday that the Grand Marais race in May is off.
Pine Barrens?
I mostly use my fat bike in the winter for riding, with studded tires. Once in a while I ride trails, but mostly I just ride the same gravel roads I ride year round. I kind of hate a flat bar, even with bar ends, and…
