Thanks for the reply. I am in the Northeast as well, so it sounds like or my riding it should be good. Do you use the 60 or 120 tpi ones? 120tpi. why not? FYI, I’ve only flatted once on these, on a tire that was worn…
I’’ve been using the 40mm Vulpines for a couple of seasons. I am in the northeast where the dirt roads are packed. I wanted a tire with what amounts to a continuous center ridge that rolls well on the hardback and…
I run turn by turn directions on wahoo using ride with gps and have rarely had a problem on gravel rides. But, how hard is it to mark the course w/ a sign.?? I have a data screen set up in my Garmin Edge with fields for…
I kind of have a foot in both worlds - both my parents were born and raised in Brooklyn and my sister was born there. I was born in NJ, but we moved to the Syracuse area when I was 7, been here ever since. We don’t…

Everything is Force AXS. Front Derailleur is regular width. Didn’t need to go with wider q-factor.

I looked into this for my wife’s Lynskey GR300. We went 2x on her bike and went with regular Force cranks and XPLR RD to keep the narrower q-factor and be able to use a wider range cassette. I have a 1x AXS mullet on my…

I prefer good softshell booties to winter shoes, but I wear Lamson custom shoes with insoles. With decent wool socks, I’m pretty good on most days. I don’t ride outside if it’s cold and wet. This year, I picked up some…

I broke down and ordered a pair of Lenz socks. They aren’t cheap, but they get good reviews and I figure I will use them in my ski boots too so they will get a lot of use. I should get them soon and will follow up. In…
I used Hotronics heaters in my skiboots when I worked in skis and had to be on the mountain every day irrespective of weather and temperature. They were great, but that was years ago. I’m now looking at the Hotronics…
