I bought the original Lauf True Grit in 2017 and put over 35k miles on it, including 3 Unbound 200’s (DK). Fantastic bike and great people that own and run Lauf - both here in the states (Jeremy) and the people in…

I’m in the 200 again. This will be number 4. Did the 200 in 2018, 2019 and 2022.
For several years, Lauf has openly talked about the MTB they have been developing. They have said it wouldn’t be announced until it was ready. Maybe it’s ready?

I have run various casing versions of Rene Herse Snoqualmie, Hurricane Ridge, Bon Jon and Barlow for several years. These are on Enve G23 and Hunt 35 wheels. Always tubeless. I ride 8,000 to 10,000 miles per year in…

I forgot to mention that you can also connect the mini to your head unit to display messages from friends and family (Garmin, Hammerhead, etc). Or if you have a Garmin watch you can get inReach messages on that as well.
I’ve been using the mini for several years. I turn it on at the start of every ride and share the live map with my wife. Like you, I frequently ride out of cell range, and my wife likes the ability and track me and send…
I ride several different versions of Rene Herse. With the more supple casing I find I need to “seat” one bead of the tire by hand. Basically, I use my thumbs to push both beads to one side of the wheel, effectively…
I’ve been extremely happy with the direct purchase of my Lauf True Grit. I bought it over 3 years ago, and I have ridden it 18,000+ miles, including 2 DK 200’s. Every time I had a question, Lauf answered me immediately.…
The pink warbird is distinctive and classic. A great looking bike. Ride it proudly! I bet you’ll get lots of compliments.

Well, the Dirty Kanza changes have been a complete cluster... I prepaid over $800 last July for my 2020 hotel room (Holiday Inn). As soon as the announcement came yesterday I called the hotel. The person that answered…
