Just got done a great downpour ride. Raining so hard, the mud washed off before I could get home and take a picture!
It's been a whole week of downpour where I'm at, and I just craved getting on the road cars don't like. It wasn't necessary for one or two rides, but I decided to do many little things to my ride to make it as…
I bet the HT length difference is because of the external headset cups if all the other geometry is exactly the same. I'd treat the geometry's reach/stack as effectively the same.
The new Kona Roadhouse is sort of half-way between a gravel bike and a road bike. Has all the clearance needed for gravel tires (even comes with 30c). But the geometry is more aggressive than other gravel grinders, and…

After a month with my new RXS, I thought I'd share my thoughts. http://www.raleighusa.com/bikes-open-road-cyclocross-rxs WOW, it can handle! So confident in a turn you have to remember what surface you're riding on so…
