I don’t know the actual amount, but my GRX800 setup seems to have more clearance than my SRAM Red AXS XpLR setup. It could be a negligible amount, but I find my SRAM setup grinding with crap more often. I do seem to…

I’ve started using YBN SLA chains this year based on the zero friction AU article. Very pleasantly surprised, shift better than KmC and so far less stretch than Shimano (xt/ultegra). Not the cheapest, but nothing is…
@Pipeliner - it’s hard to say if 2k miles is good or bad without knowing how often it was cleaned, lubed, etc... When you measured the wear how much stretch/wear does it have? If it’s approaching 0.5% then it’s time to…
I would suggest also checking out SQLabs. I used to sell a ton of Ergon saddles during bike fits. I’ve since switched to only offering SQLabs saddles. Great quality and lots of width/length options. You can request a…
You will be fine either way.
Sold.
Asking $65/pair. I have this set of 700x43c GK SK+ available. Less than 50 miles on them and measured out ~44mm after 2 days. Come with some residual OrangeSeal and complementary authentic Vermont gravel dust. Will ship…
It’s a tough call. I’m still not 100% happy with the gaps in the 11-42 XT cassette. But the only way to really improve the gear gaps it would be to go 2x in the front. If I was in an environment that required a better…
Sold.
I have a pair of barely used Donnelly x’plor MSO 700x40c tires that I am not going to use, so time for someone else to use them. $60 for the pair.
I guess I’m in the same wagon as the others with the GK SK. I went for the SK+ in 43 this past time, I wish I had opted for just the regular SK.
I’ve only run tubeless for the better part of 2 decades. The only thing I’ve changed in the past few years is that I clean the old dried pool of sealant out of the tire when the season starts. I found the dried pooled…
Thumper - I was more approaching it from the dependability aspect. We rode the first part a few years back on dirt bikes. I remember the surface being decent except for trash (glass & cans). I’m afraid their might be…
Panaracer GK SK+ in a 43, not the fastest but dependable & comfortable.
Very interesting and disappointing at the same time. I’m about to try the Michelin Power Gravel, hopefully they fair better than the Conti’s.

Another option is BWW. DT rim & spokes with the SpeedTuned hubs (Enduro bearing & 36 POE). I know several folks with these and great results. I’ve run them in the past on my XC bike and no issues. They have a coupon for…
