Ok Riding Gravel Forum, if you're gonna delete mrad2181 but allow RadDogRoadWarrior to spew that shit, consider me gone too.
And yet you called me racist , Groadie. Make up your mind, troll.
Ok Groadie. Right, i'm a racist. And you're a troll. You've been on this site 2 days and your reputation score is in the negatives.
Thank you mrad2181! And in response to Groadie, your post pretty much summed up the attitude that needs to change in this country. Your opinion of whether or not something is offensive doesn't matter here. What matters…
Cyron10k Yes! Thank you!
The argument that many POC sign up for the race, so therefore Jim cannot be racist, is old and tired and racist itself. Continuing to explain away someone's racism, and defending the action of police that have…
I bought a pair of Vuelta Corsa SLX wheels online for about $300 in 2016 and they have served me very well.
Here's my take on this: You're spoiled by suspension! Haha! Not meant as an insult. Those of us old enough to remember learning to mtn bike on fully rigid bikes basically riding through the woods (no such thing as…
Sorry, i hope i didnt come off as criticizing. I admit.i'm a bit of.a curmudgeon when it comes to this issue, as i've never seen the need for going tubeless personaaly. I have a little experience with latex tubes, and…
So it seems to me that your stated intention of riding mostly paved at higher pressure negates the benefit of running tubeless, other than a slight weight penalty. Why not run Conti Duraskin tires and latex tubes?…
Thanks for the info! Will check them out.
Thanks for your input. Not what i wanted to hear! Haha! The full hydro option is not just a hassle, but significantly more expensive!
Enjoy your stay in VT! I guarantee that after a few rides here, you'll want to come back! I moved to Northeastern VT a year and a half ago, and love it. A word of warning: it's hard to find a ride thats less than 100ft…
Considering upgrading brakes on my gravel bike to Yokozuna Ultimos. Currently have Shimano 105 brake levers/shifters with Promax mechanical disc brakes. Braking power is severely lacking, modulation non-existent. The…
For years ive heard people rave about waxing chains, but anyone ive ever known who actually tried it said it didnt work well. I've tried a lot of products, was T-9 fan for a long time, but a few years ago switched to…
Welcome to the gravel world, and best of luck with your weight loss goals! IMHO i would avoid carbon, stick to steel frame, good suggestions here such as Soma, Salsa, etc. As a 210lb rider, my focus is not on saving a…
I hear ya. Its a good system, though one of the benefits of wearing wool is it retains its insulating properties when wet. Like we used to say in the Boy Scouts, Wool's warm when wet, but cotton kills.
Yeah, i suffer from chronically sweaty AND chronically cold feet. Wool helps, but so does limiting winter riding to 1-2 hours max.
Also, some shoes are vented on the bottom. I cover that vent with waterproof tape. Every little bit helps.
Full fenders all the way for wet winter riding. Not only do they keep ur feet dry, but the rest of you also, and therefore warmer. They also keep your drivetrain clean. On my feet i wear merino wool socks and waterproof…
