I ride a 2017 Jamis Renegade Elite carbon bike that replaced a Salsa Vaya steel bike as my primary gravel bike. The Jamis frame is very well engineered to be stiff where you want it (e.g. BB, lateral movement on the…
I'm running an ultralight commuter setup that does double duty for bike packing with a Bontrager BackRack Lightweight rack and Arkel Dry-Lites Waterproof Saddle Bags . The whole setup only weighs about 2 lbs and easily…
I've been going for an utlralight commuting setup on my Renegade Elite. Been happy with the Bontrager BackRack Lightweight and some Arkel Dry-Lites Waterproof Saddle Bags which are just large enough to hold a 14" laptop…

This discussion seems to have veered way off course from the original topic.
Another bump for the Schwalbe G-Ones. Mounted a pair of 700x35 Evo version in June and have been extremely impressed with how fast and quiet they roll on pavement and satisfied with their off-road performance as well.…
I ran the Nano Race (not the tubeless TCS version) tubeless with Stans sealant on Stans rims without significant issues. A little sidewall oozing the first day, added more sealant and then they sealed up reasonably…
I just picked up a very lightly used 2017 Jamis Elite and and while I'm only one real ride in, I really love it. Can't wait to get some proper gravel tires on it. At <$4k it's priced competitively for the spec, but I…
There is a ride scheduled to take place May 14th and most Sundays from Motion Makers Bike Shop on Brevard Rd.in Asheville to Oskar Blues Brewery in Brevard. About 40 miles, 80% unpaved. Departs 8:00am and returns to the…
