I ride 47mm wtb horizons in some soft sand areas. Not the beach type depth but maybe like 2 inches here or there on top of hard pack. The volume is barely adequate and only for quick patches. My 2.6 inch aggressors on…
Sometimes it is the easiest solution. I had a similar issue but it sounded like a high pitched squeal. I adjusted my calipers about ten times but it wouldnt go away. Turns out I run really tight fitting tires for my…
I know I am late to the party but I got my first flat on tubeless yesterday. It was due to low sealant causing a leak at the bead. I refreshed and it appears good to go. I have probably 2500 miles of tubeless riding so…
200 mile update. The 650b wheels have been good. My daily 12 mile ride up to the Calfornia aqueduct has been fun. I ride different routes with a mix of gravel and road depending on my mood. The ground is mostly hard…

So I pulled the trigger on this beast last weekend and got it out for a ride today. This is one cool bike. Mine came setup up the opposite of how a $7500 dollar bike should as per the usual with bike techs that are…
Thnx

It looks like praxis does indeed have a 1x ring. I will have to see if it is compatible with the crank when I get a chance. Mine looks different from their 1x crank but maybe it will still be a possibility. I think wolf…
I really loath 2x setups and I would like to switch my Praxis 2x crank out for a GRX 1x crankset. My question is if I need to replace the bottom bracket? I was looking at the Giant website and the Revolt Advanced 2 has…

If you know anyone with a vinyl cutter like the Cricut, then you could have anything you want. I use mine for tshirts and stickers sometimes. Normally I use the cutter for stuff for my classroom.
So as weird as this wheelset experience has been I found another glitch in my matrix that worked in my favor. I was about to head over to the bike shop to return the ultegra r8000 and I looked at my old wheelset. It so…
I'm not sure what you mean by fast, but I have 47c WTB horizon on my bike and the are pretty fast for being such a big tire. At least they feel fast to me in comparison to my 38c stock giant branded tires that have some…
I bought my gravel bike for two reasons. 1. I'm too fat for the road bike. 2. Even if I wasn't fat, I don't want to tussle with cars if I can hop off the pavement in the problem areas. My regular ride has two sketchy…

I'm not sure. I could probably go buy one at one of the local shops today if I searched around. I found a shop 90 minutes from me that has the right hub adaptor, but I suppose it's principle at this point. That and I…
