Understood. Have you looked at SpeedGearBike.com for gravel wheels? My “road” wheelset is actually a tubeless ready gravel wheelset which built up at 1,492gm taped and would be my fast gravel wheelset if I simply…
Clearance will partially depend on the inner width of your new 700c wheelset. I speced my Litespeed Gravel bike with WTB 700x42mm tires using DT Swiss rims with 22.5mm inner width. (WTB designed the Resolute for 23mm…
I wonder if you can ride with wintershoe covers using the XTR short spindle pedals without the covers rubbing the crank arms? Perhaps a factor to consider.
Andrewins, where did you find that rear splash guard? Thanks.
I went with the Lightspeed Gravel after much thought as well. SRAM 1x11 with 10-42 full pin cassette and 40t chainring on a Gx crank that stays on the bike most of the time. Can climb any paved road with the 700x32mm…
Tim, I live in Hiram and hope to make the ride one of these Thursdays. The 29 mile route sounds great. Alan
I second what bobknh said concerning bike fit. Plus, I also chose the Ritchey Venturemax bar for exactly the same reasons.
I have had trouble getting getting some of my tubeless tire beads loose from two different models of WTB alloy MTB rims. The solution that I came up with was to lean the wheel against a 2x4” wood stud of an unfinished…
This pic is my Salsa Mukluk with a B-RAD 4. The side by side bottles are much higher and a Salsa Anything cage is mounted lower.
A couple of pics:
I have two bikes with the Wolftooth side by side bottle setup and both have been working fine for me. No contact with my legs. Using a B-RAD 3 on my LS Gravel, and a B-RAD 4 on my Salsa Mukluk (also setup for gravel) to…
I only weigh 145lbs. The DT Swiss XR 361 would not have been my rim choice if I weighed upwards of 200lbs, even though the published weight limit is 110kg or about 240lbs.
$370 does sound better for two carbon rims. Still the DT Swiss XR 361 appear to be about $200 per set.
Have you looked at DT Swiss XR 361 rims? 10 grams heavier and about $270 cheaper per rim. Plus a bit wider with 22.5mm inner width. I have them on my LS Gravel bike using 700x42mm tires.
I went with the Ritchey Venturemax bars and Redshift stem for the recent build of my gravel bike. Only five rides so far but I am very happy with the setup. \n
No problems yet, and I don’t expect any. This is my third wheelset with DT Swiss 350 hubs. The other two wheelsets are the Big Ride fat bike spaced version of the 350 hubs with 36 ratchet upgrade (10 degree engagement).…
