I've been able to get in a few rides on my 45mm X1R's and so far, I really like them. My previous tires were 44mm Tufo Thundero's which I really liked as well. Honestly, not a huge difference; the GK's may be tad more…
Partial update: I mounted my X1R's today; went pretty well, as easily as pretty much any tire ever has for me as I have small and not so strong hands. I use Vittoria liners so that makes it a tad more difficult. Once…
I finally got mine, 45mm X1Rs, of course right before leaving on vacation haha. I will get them mounted and ridden this week hopefully; I'll post my thoughts once I do..
With taps playing softly in the distance, I'll dedicate my next gravel ride to those here who helped me with various things, especially my tubeless struggles which were, for me, real and very trying.. Ride safe folks,…
That's my point; given how long a waxed chain will last, simply buying a waxed one makes the most sense. Buying all the stuff related to cleaning doesn't make sense as you won't need it again for a long time. I'm sure…
If you don't wax, you might consider switching to it as there less maintenance and significantly longer life for cassettes and chains. People report getting 10K miles or more from a chain/cassette and while I have never…
I'm hoping to have a set of them later this week..
Hey look, it's a new thread!!! 🙂 Has anyone ridden the new GK tires? I am going to be geting a pair of the X1R's pretty soon, the tread looks to be pretty perfect for my local conditions. I'd love to hear impressions…
This site is dying. It was the reviews that drove traffic to the site, now that those are gone things have really gotten quiet. Also most people tend to be a roadie or a mountain biker, there are very few dedicated…
My guess is that it will surface at either Otter or more likely Unbound; tying to a big race is how Shimano has typically released new groups. Given how slow things have been, Otter seems likely so they can get the…
Actually it just got really quiet because we are all holding our breaths waiting for.... Shimano to release 12-speed DI2 GRX. Yep!
Hey there! Yeah....things change for sure. I put a lot of life into MBR over the years and things just change. I have real estate and a couple businesses with some other projects on the way. It's different than always…
I agree that this site is in decline, maybe somewhat related to the changes in cycling in general--more e-bikes (which haven't really caught on in gravel bikes), the COVID reversal from more people trying bikes…
Zipp releases photos of the rim . (front page of Cyclingnews.com) Thanks, I think that closes the case..
Well, 3TX has revived a few threads. Hope the usual writers are OK. Lol to the 3TX comment 🙂 +1; I certainly hope everyone is ok; maybe it's just a lull..
Not to be a bummer but it kind of seems like it is; the most recent product review is from 2023. It just doesn't seem to really have much traffic anymore. I certainly hope I'm wrong, but you have to wonder. I think…
Very interesting read thanks, especially the cleat fore/aft movement changing effective saddle height. I assume moving the cleat backwards (foot foward on the pedal) increases saddle height? If so it would explain my…
Frankly I don't need to try to roll a tubular on a straight simply because I got stuck behind a crash which was caused by a rolled tubular so I know it can happen. Tubulars, like everything else in cycling is a…
I'm going to have to say that I don't think anyone here has a real position to comment from other than their own, extremely limited experiences. Pro riders are worried according to Adam Hansen and they ride more in a…
I'm following this as well as I have recently moved to tubeless on the road having had it on gravel for a few years. It sounds like a lot of it revolves around narrow(compared to gravel) tires on wider, like 25mm, road…
