GK Slicks in 38mm are just about the perfect year-round, all-purpose, fat roadie+ tire. Wide enough, light, supple, fast rolling, tough, easy tubeless setup, and conspicuously inexpensive compared to other brands. I…
I have the Zeros in 700x38. They measure 41mm on a set on Enve M50 rims. They are great tires - grippy, fast and supple. They replaced a set of GK SK of the same size. I liked the GK but the Vittoria feels and performs…
Gunnar - but in my own experience on their CX bike, the rear triangle is overbuilt for stiffness and might not be what you're looking for as a road or dirt road bike. I wouldn't dismiss custom as just a name and artsy…
I do. PM me for info.

I didn’t have a Bon Jon blow off a rim - that sounds like pressure is too high. Mine would air up and snap into place easily. My problem was that the tires were too thin or permeable to hold air and required a ton of…
If tubeless is important, avoid the Compass Bon Jon Pass. It took 3 weeks and maybe 3x the usual amount of sealant before they would hold air. Even then, I’d find one or both tires randomly and totally deflated once in…
I've had the same problem. I tried saddles, bike fits, bibs, creams, crying, offering sacrifices to the gods... nothing seemed to solve it. This went on for years, usually worse in the summer. Long rides were…
Another possible consideration here for you is fit. I moved from 42 to 44 bars a few years ago (same model) and started getting tightness and discomfort between the shoulder blades and neck on anything longer then an…
I saw your other post about this topic where you mention this is a gravel bike you're building (which makes sense considering he forum!). Have you checked the clearance needed for the etap front der battery? It's not…
SRAM just started shipping the etap HRD stuff so my bet would be a few more months before the shifter/caliper sets are available. I used etap shifters with TRP hy/rd and it was great. Very close to full hydro and zero…
I wouldn't worry about it at all.
Hi. I have a Paralane. I would say it leans more towards a road bike than what many would consider a gravel bike, but that depends on YOUR gravel I guess. \n \nIt can fit 35c tires but not a ton of clearance if that's a…
I am 6' and have 56 Grade. As others have said, they feel "big", but it's worth know that comes mostly due to the stack height, more so than the reach. The geometry shows very little difference between the reach in the…
