The Otso Waheela C appears to provide a lot of versatility without mt bike geometry. It has 50mm+ tire clearance with gravel bike geometry. I have a cutthroat and love it, but I would like to have something a little…
This year, 3 buddies and I signed up as a 'team' - 4 member limit. For teams, it's all or nothing. We got nothing. But 3 of us were able to get transfers and the 4th guy had made other plans, so it worked out well for…
I've never been selected in the lottery, but I received transfers in 2018 (50 mi) and 2019 (100 mi). Without transfers, I would never have had the experience of Dirty Kanza. Riders must commit to this event 5 months in…

It's a 24mm SRAM GPX. I've been going through the learning curve on BB's. But I'm still pretty ignant!
I need a new bottom bracket for my Cutthroat. I'm looking at a Wheel's Manufacturing replacement, but I'm not hip to the BB lingo! Salsa spec calls for PF41 X 92. I'm not finding this on the Wheel's Manuf. website. Can…
"mulleting" Ha! it took me a minute. I'm not sure if my tire combo is business in the front - party in the back or party in the front - business in the back ??

Since the 700x45 EXO blew off the rim - see my previous post, I decided to try the 700x45 Silkshield version. It is a heavier tire at 566g vs. EXO at 480g±. The Silkshield version set up tubeless like it had a tube in…
I got a new Rambler 700x45 EXO. I mounted it on my Velocity Blunt SS rim. It mounted fairly easy - aired it up to about 32 psi w/ no sealant and rode it for maybe a mile. Came home and removed the valve core, added…
Squats have made the most noticeable improvement for me.
Weights for 700 x 45's per Maxxis: 120 tpi EXO 517g 60 tpi SilkShield 591g.
I have an XLab bolt on. Works great but it's very small. I've been looking for something larger that has the side pockets like the XLab. No luck so far

I did a little research and found that Ted King and Kate Keough ran Rambler Silkshield last year at DK200 and Rebecca Rusch ran Rambler EXO, so looks pretty good either way
Rambler 700x45's are on the shelves!! What's best: Silkshield or EXO???
The lines are poppin'. Less than 2 weeks till transfer deadline.
Update - The old GK 40's mentioned above were re-labeled 43's by Panaracer, so keep that in mind. I have put well over 2000 miles on the GK43/Blunt SS tubeless combo with absolutely no problems.
