Just an update after a year...The MotoMule is still going strong, got bored with the black and hit it with some Plasti-Dip. Weighed it with pedals and cages off, the ‘standard’ sort of format, and it came in at 8.3kg…
If you really dislike a color (pink or otherwise) investigate plasti-dip. Folks do whole cars with it, rims, etc... I sprayed my fork and stem just to change things up, peeled it off a year later, pretty easy. Sprayed…
Sorry haven’t been checking in on the forum. But I did make a mistake in my original post—the tire I ordered and had already been using on another bike (Schwalbe Rocket Ron 27.5 x 2.1) was not a 2.1, but a 2.25. I…
That is tragic indeed. In Montana, I can say from experience that it is also quite possible to experience aggressive driving behavior when out on gravel roads. I stay very aware of vehicles approaching, dust, noise—at…
So far I like them. Easy to do, cheap, light. The tire pressure difference is definitely more in the 5psi range, which for a low profile tire like the GK 37 completely changes the ride feel. Seems like a cheap way to…
Became interested in trying an inexpensive home made insert just for ‘proof of concept’ purposes, before possibly laying out the cash for a commercial option. After a couple of rides, I think it’s worth trying. Wheels:…
As for who specifically made the frame, yeah, I don’t know either—just that it had a “made in Taiwan” sticker on the headtube. Zero complaints on the frame quality, but didn’t move a single cable or hose on the…
Not too shabby—I picked this up since I’ve found I really prefer to have a dedicated ‘single track’ drop bar bike and a ‘go long’ bike for those 50/50 road oriented rides, and not try to make one bike do both. I had…
It will be interesting to hear what you think. Apparently some patience is required doing the install, and probably a bit extra since I think they officially recommend 33c as minimum tire size. But if you end up hating…
Please try the cushcore inserts like Slim mentioned with 32c gravel kings...just begging 🙂 Posted a thread awhile back trying to get feedback on anyone doing this but no reply. Given firm conditions, seems like a good…
Seen a few reviews out there, seem mostly positive (other than cost). Anyone riding them? More specifically, thinking about them in the context of making a wide clearance road bike (example: canyon endurace) punch above…
