There are more categories every day. The more we personalize and customize, the more categories are born.
I insist on running the handmade Challenge tires - either 33mm Chicanes or 36mm Gravel Grinders. No tubeless Challenge tires. Occasionally, I use the 38mm Bontrager CX0. They're fast rolling, but the 38 doesn't come…
I have a 2016 Boone 7 canti I run handmade Challenge Gravel Grinders in 36 with Challenge latex tubes. So far so good! I also like the Bontrager CX0 in 38mm. Neither are available in tubeless, nor are my HED Belgium…
I would buy a complete Crockett, and sell off what you don't need. It'll cost you less in the end. If I remember correctly, Crockett hydro line is run internally. I like 36 or 38mm tires
35s with micro tread make a safe fit. I wouldn't fit any larger. It's a nice gravel bike for crushed limestone. The 1st gen Boone actually makes a great gravel bike with 36 Gravel Grinders or 38mm CX0 tires. 2nd get…
