Love it! The Gravel Travel bike is very high on the dream bike list when that day comes. Did you buy a frameset or complete bike from SaltAir, and do you mind if I ask what the build time from order was, and how much it…
Howdy! Signed up for both the Utah Mixed Epic and the Stupid Pony (proud of that one b/c it's mine ) this fall and I'm looking for a fast-rolling 700 x 50mm that can handle oodles of abuse and probably a lot of sand.…
My custom baby, the West Desert Schooner, by SaltAir cycles. Sold three bikes to get this thing (it wasn't actually all that expensive, I'm just broke) and it was absolutely worth it. Rides like a dream's dream. FULLY…

Guess it depends on whether you want solid and fast or just solid. I've been digging my Ogre's Velocity Cliffhangers but those things are heavy AF. The ones I've been oggling are Pacenti's Brevet rims and Velocity's…
Howdy folks! Went from a follower here to a race director! Two special-AF rides coming up in Utah this year, the Salty Lizard on May 16th and the Stupid Pony on October 2nd. They're the brainchildren of Salty & Stupid…
I looked these up when I saw your post. I'd be curious if anyone had experience with these versus the G-One. I ran the G-One Allround 29x2.25" and it was super-comfy and grippy but wasn't very durable. It felt like the…
@fourfa Good advice - I'm in the exact position you are. I'm 6'5" with an XL Surly Ogre that I want to use. I have both kinds of Camelbak tube (the old style and the newer, wider style they equip with the Crux…
I've used one for about 4 years now and I'm satisfied with it. Maybe not ecstatic, but I definitely have a hard time justifying replacing it. I'm a little bigger (6'5", 170 lbs) and I run my saddle well aft of the seat…
Hello, all! Looking for good places to find videos, reviews, and race results for ultra endurance gravel. Gravelcyclist and CX Magazine aren't bad, but I've got an itch to scratch. I'd like to find the kind of blog that…

Thanks, I hadn't thought to use a connector and two tubes - that's a good idea! I'll have to see if Camelbak makes something that would work for that. I need to use the full-size because the ride's 200 miles long and…
Howdy, all! I want to use my Revelate frame bag to hold a couple of Camelbak reservoirs for a stupid-long ride. I'm a big guy and the hoses that the bags came with won't reach the bars from all the way at the bottom of…
Sweet! Thanks @barturtle! I was looking on the specs sheet on Garmin's site and didn't see that information. Looks like I need me an Etrex.
@barturtle Can they trickle charge while in use? That's my hangup with my current GPS, that if I needed to, I couldn't just plug it in and still have it work.
