Got to throw in the Maxis Ramblers.....Rolls great on light gravel/ dirt and road. Very light tire as well. No flats in 2 years. Works decent as my CX tire unless it starts to get sloppy...
Damn.... I mike have to pick up one of those for another "do it all: bike. Doesn't look like I would need to change a thing. The question is, would my wife notice another bike in the garage?
Maybe you already did this, but sometimes I need to remove the valve needle so the compressor gives a much quicker blast of air. Good luck!
Thanks for the head's up. No " hike a bike" for me. 2 mangled ankles from a MX jump make walking not so fun. The 62m route is just perfect for an early season race.
I have a Boone 7 and have love it for racing and riding gravel. The carbon frame with Iso-speed and damping handle bars really help dampen the bumps. I run Maxis Rambler ( 38R/40F) and it flys on gravel and road…
I think my Maxxis Ramblers ( size 38Rear/40Front ) only have a max pressure. I just ran them at 25Front and 27Rear last week at a CX and was fine. Might go lower a few more if muddy again. I normally ride around 30 for…
Good points above. I especially agree with no 3. I like to RIDE my bike, not push or carry...
I went with the XXX 2s as I am using them for both gravel and CX racing. Love them, light and smooth ride. I will most likely get a set of the XXX 4s for my road bike ( after I save up... 🙂 )
I would love to have multiple wheels but as my main 3 bikes ( MTB, Road, CX/Gravel ) all have different wheel systems, I had to pick one. I went with light weight ( Bontrager XXX2's) for the quicker acceleration in CX…
Are you guys running sealant? I do in my MTB and Gravel/CX bike but it seems like not all run it in their road tires. I've been holding out on my stock tires but ready to give the GP5000 @28 a try. Thanks
I've never lost one with the Bontrager XXX units either ( Just in case you are a Treky ).…
I don't think there was a 2nd stop. Just the first stop around 21 miles, the spring and store. I can't believe I was the first one to open a bag of chips at the 1st stop. I've never inhaled a handful of chips that early…
It was a more challenging course this year with a pretty long “hike a bike” section. Weather was good and I think all had a good time. I still managed to go off course again folllowing another rider....lesson learned…
I hope I don't jinx myself but I'm on my 3rd set and they have preformed excellent. Lightweight, roll great, enough traction and no-"issues".
Looking forward to it. I had a great time last year until I missed a turn ( totally my fault as it was well marked ) and logged an extra 8 miles and some good vertical...ha I purchased a Wahoo Bolt right after that…
I have a 1X Force on my bike that has a noisy drive train also. It comes and goes. My LBS made some adjustments to my bottom bracket which didn't do anything. It seems to be more way more sensitive to a chain cleaning…
