I don’t remove old sealant until the tire is shot. My sealant outlives my tires. One exception being bikes that are going to be hanging a while (like over the winter), I dump sealant on those and refresh in the spring.…
I'll just say that around here, Coyotes and Coons apparently love to squat on gravel roads.
SM, Opinions will vary, and I assume the things I personally like best aren't necessarily relevant to anyone else. That typed ... what I like the best, particularly on events I am travelling to or don't know, are events…
Noonievut, Sounds like you got your issue handled. But if it happens again, make sure you don't have a sticky piston. (If one is stuck and/or lazy, it is plausible that uneven hydro pressure during braking is moving…
If you think the bottom port (like the one you just pictured) will work, but you think the hard plastic is too wide............check out the Camelbak Long Neck bladder, or the Camelbak Omega bladder.
The lumbar version will work good if the bag will stay flat'ish in your frame bag. If you think the bladder is going to slide down into lower bottom of the V in your frame bag (IE not stay flat), the non lumbar version…
Don't sweat the change to drops .... in the end you will likely appreciate the added real estate to change grip positions. You can be just as upright (if not more) on the hoods as you are on the flat bar, depending on…
hard to answer without knowing the size/brand of your compact frame bag, or the brand and capacity of the current reservoir that is too large. Given that .....Camelbak or Platypus or MSR Dromedary/DromLite have multiple…
Probably goes without saying, but here it goes ..... If/when thinking about keeping lights powered, keep in mind on ultra long rides (or maybe not so long depending on the devise) .... your bike computer/gps may need a…
As someone mentioned, not all USB rechargeable lights will continue to operate while plugged into their chargers. Do your research if that's important to ya. The current Bontrager Ion Pro's will continue to operate…
Zman, there are literally over 6 other modern light examples mentioned above if you are in the market for one kind sir.
For your tail light .... IMO you need to decide if you need it for safety, or if you need to comply with rules, or both. Super bright high mounted tail lights are great for safety. Super bright high mounted or bright…
IMO ... for me ....lights are no different than liquid/meal planning. First .... you need to figure out what lighting you need. Is a mounted headlight enough? (They only shine where the bars are pointed). Do you need a…
Probably goes without saying.....make sure you test the longer hose well to insure sucking the increased distance doesn’t mess with your program, and that whatever hose you get doesn’t collapse on itself when doing so…
Depends on what you are riding over. In some cases, gravel tires are faster.

lol...not exactly sure why the bottom half hyperlinked.... ignore that lol Also, I almost forgot the biggest tips I can give you. First, there has been a lot of flooding this year on the Missouri river. I29 between…
Re Worlds cut down loops. Yes, you can tailor either route to what you like...options galore. For example on the 75 mile route, the two roads that parallel each other from roughly mile 20 and back to Valparaiso/mile 50…
