Never been to Valle Vidal. Might have to look into that. Life has been keeping me stuck on pavement lately. I need to get in a long stretch of gravel somewhere. As for the hubs I was testing, they were our GravityWorx…
Still durability testing the full carbon gravel bike prototype at Valles Caldera. I never get tired of this place...
Been running 35mm Gravel Kings on a new bike for a couple weeks now. I like 'em. Reasonably light, good grip, low rolling resistance on pavement. I'd buy 'em again...
Yeah Laeljon, if you're up in Taos you should DEFINITELY check out the Caldera. It's just a hop skip and a jump away. The usage rules are still a little fuzzy around bikes, so you can pretty much just find a safe place…
Spent yesterday testing a new hub prototype in Valles Caldera National Preserve near Los Alamos, NM and thought some folks might enjoy the pics. Valles Caldera has got to be one of the least known treasures in gravel…
An awful photo of an awesome bike! Just finished building this baby up for testing and I'm dying to get out on it this weekend! SRAM Rival 1 brakes/shifter/derailleur, e*thirteen TRS+ cassette, SRAM XX1 crank. Running…
Avid Speed Dial. They have adjustable cable pull, they're cheap, and they're made to work with that brake. I have them on a BB7 equipped bike. A quick Google search will turn up a pair from Dan's Comp for around $15.
I'm running a Rival 1 with an e*thirteen 9-42 cassette and a XX1 crank with a 36 tooth chainring. Love this setup, but the cable loop on the Rival 1 derailleur made shifts sticky and shift effort kind of high. Why they…
Well, with all due respect, they're not built to be an entry level hub. I don't wanna fill the forum with ad propaganda so I won't get into details here, but if you want to know more about why we think these hubs…
The latest series of GravityWorx hubs is through prototyping and entering final field trials before general release. This isn't an advertising venue, so I won't bore you with details. I just loved how the pics came out…
It's Sunday morning and it's snowing and I'm thinking about riding my bike to the shop to get my computer. Half of the reason why is just because it's snowing. Am I the only one out there who loves riding in weather?…
For me it's a matter of economics. In my opinion there's not enough benefit to running a wider front in this application to justify it. I prefer to rotate my tires from front to rear a couple times through their life so…
I ordered this fork direct from the manufacturer through an industry connection. I originally ordered it with a glossy finish and somehow that didn't quite happen. I got a satin finish instead. Other than that it's…
It REALLY is. I'm amazed at how few people know about this place. I'm looking forward to testing fatbike wheels here this winter! I'm thinking it'll be just me and the elk
I've been riding a laminated bamboo version of this frame for about two and a half years and I love it. I was just about to build up this carbon model with a more "roadie" parts set when my boss started leaning on me…
For me the decision against Di2 came down to three factors: 1) There was no reasonable way to internally route the wiring due to the way the bb shell area was constructed on the frame in question. 2) The cost of the all…
Nothing wrong with it other than the tooth count. I got a good deal on a XX1 crank with this ring and spider but after giving it a good try I just want more teeth and different offset/chainline. Aside from minor surface…
HI, I have a buyer, just haven't shipped yet due to the holiday. Probably going out today if the PayPal goes through.
Just what it says in the title. A pair of used calipers. Nothing at all wrong with them. Pads still have plenty of life. I upgraded to hydraulic several months ago and these are just gathering dust. Someone might as…
No need to be intimidated by discs. They work great. Your friend with the fussy brakes probably has either loose caliper mounting bolts, or he's just really bad about pulling the levers with rotors out. Calipers and…
