I am 200 lbs, ride a Allied Able and love the GK 32 slick for California rough roads leading to fire roads and/or pavement roads only. Most is hard packed, and I run around 80 psi..I currently run them tubed. I usually…
I'm dealing with this issue with my wife who is just a tad taller than 5'.. The Niner RLT carbon 47cm has the lowest standover height of 27.3 inches or 693mm. The steel version, 47cm, is around 730mm. This is as close…
You will do fine with the Orge. I'm assuming you're doing them to have fun & finish. Just get the best wheelset you can afford, go with aluminum rims & quality hubs (example: Velocity Aileron rims, White Industries…
I'm finally in this position. Thank God! I'm from the Los Angeles area so my prospective is based on places I have solid info on: 1-St. George Utah area to Beaver Utah 2-Prescott AZ (and surrounding valleys) north to…
All the bikes listed are great, here a couple more suggestions..I still love my Salsa Vaya (Ti or steel with Carbon fork). The steel version will be inexpensive enough to afford nice wheel-set, and drivetrain..
I recently bought a Thule rear hitch type for my Outback and have been very happy with it..No more roof racks for me if I can help it. I'm 5-08 and needed to buy a RV step to put bikes on roof. Big pain in the butt!
Thanks for responding..They are welded in and part of the frame. I checked the Salsa web page and I believe only the Vaya travel version can be converted. Sincerely, Rich B
Does anyone know off-hand if a Salsa Vaya QR can be converted to thru-axle with a Salsa Adapter. I checked the Salsa page and (I) am unable to figure it out. I Googled it and not getting any definitive answers..Yes,…
For crying out loud stop thinking about it and go with the White Industries G30. It's a no brainer. Everything they make is top notch and beautiful. I recently had a new wheelset built up with Velocity rims and Gold…
I think I'll check out the carbon Warbird for her..
My wife loves her beloved 2007 Santa Cruz Julian and is nearly kicking and screaming at the thought of an up grade to a proper gravel rig (my suggestion). I would like to begin competing/doing some gravel events with…
2 years later I love my '15 Salsa Vaya Ti more than ever....I have ridden it with 41mm tires, with 25mm tires. On dirt roads, gravel, hwy 1 in Cali. Bitterroot valley Montana, St George Utah to Zion..Sedona Az to South…
I ment to say I bought a 2016 ti Vaya in Sept 2015..
I was lucky enough to have extra cash available to buy a '15 Salsa Vaya it which I've been riding now for approx 10 months. I've never been happier. I've added a couple of Revelate bags and have my ultimate gravel/ road…
I live in SoCal and I'm about ready to begin to explore them with my Salsa Vaya..
Hello Andy!\n\nI'm out here in beautiful California getting ready to take my Vaya out for a couple hour ride....Lets see those pix!!\n
I got a 2016 ti Vaya a few months ago and I love everything about it if you have a specific questions. I did however buy the complete X0 build with the HED wheels.\n\nCheers\n\nRich\n
Awesome,,thanks again Ben! \n \nRich
Thank you Ben. I actually wanted to run some Conti 28's... \n \nRich
What is the tire size range with these rims? I have 41 Surly knard(s) at the moment and wonder if I could drop down to 25 or 28's.... \n \nThx
