I've been on Schwalbe for a few years now. I started on the S-One (now G-One Speed) @ 30mm for mixed road/dirt riding. With them, I was able to ride about anything. I also have a set of wheels with the G-One @ 35mm and…
Tonight is the annual Club Night. So I should know more about the details of the sponsorship agreement. For the last sponsor we had 15% on everything and a team deal w/Scott bikes that was closer to 30%. I'm expecting a…
I'm not sure if I can add anything new to this. And will likely only add to the confusion. I looked at this closely a couple of years ago (ok, 3 - 2015) when a couple of friends bought the then new Specialized Diverge…
That is the experience I had w/the last generation Warbird. It was announced in January with expected deliver in May. That went to June, then July, then August, then September & finally October. And the first shipment…
I saw the new Cutthroat out on the trail last Sunday. It was the blue/red version ridden by a Salsa rep. It was very nice and very light. That said, the new Warbird looks to be about perfect for the type of riding I do…
A very nice article. It does seem to confirm what many, especially Jan Heine, have been saying. Another good source of information re tire width/pressure is a series of blogs by Josh Portner at Silca and formerly at…
It's a bit further away but there is a lot of riding up in the Lake Hodges area - the San Dieguito River Trail / Coast to Crest Trail. We've ridden from the Wild Animal Park to Dog Beach in Del Mar almost exclusively on…
Exactly - the 11-36 is a drop in fit w/no issues for UltegraGS w/a 50/34 crankset. My RX-805 arrived yesterday 😉 Can't wait to check it out. And "try" is the key word here - for both components and wheel/tire…

Nice review - thanks. And about what I would have expected. I have one ordered (eBay) and is enroute from Japan now - the Di2/805 version. I'm running a 50/34 w/11-36 now and expect it to drop right in. I used to get a…

Zack58 wrote: That is a sweet bike. Any concerns with it being an ex-demo? The ad says <100 miles. My Ridley is built very stout so I wouldn't worry much about scratches and such. And doubt they would sell something…
Just saw these in an email from Merlin today. The Ridley X-Trails run very large though not sure whether or not at 6'3" a Med would be large enough or not. I'm 5'8" and riding an XS. It's a great bike at a great price.…
So far, no response from my friends regarding availability of wheels - sorry. From what I can understand, TiGeo's responses have been spot on. I empathize with the non-geeks trying to understand all this stuff. There is…

I've done the same thing several times - converting DT Swiss XR1501s for gravel use. But that was a few years ago when there were very few options available for gravel wheelsets w/disc and an 11-sp road freehub. Now…

The 2015 Specialized Diverge Pro came w/carbon wheels so I'd start there: https://www.specialized.com/us/en/diverge-pro/p/106646 Other options could be any Specialized Roval SCS wheel though most I would assume are road…
