Hi I’ve been using SRAM Force 1x HRD shifters with Zipp Xplr bars for awhile now. The lever barely clears the bars when depressed, thereby making it hard to keep my fingers wrapped around the shifters when braking from…
I’m really enjoying my Revel Rascal. Very balanced and great handling.
A number of friends have enjoyed their new Trek Checkpoints and Cervelo Asperos (Rival builds). As to 2x or 1x, I’m agnostic
So much nice bike stuff out there right now.
Those are all great bikes. Focus on fit and comfort. I race gravel and use to road race. I use my road bike with 25mm tires when I go with the hammers but tend to use my 1x cross bike with 38mm to 40mm tires on the…
I know people who ride ebikes due to physical issues. It’s that or no cycling. When carbon bikes were coming onto the racing scene in my area in the mid 80s, I remember someone showed up with a carbon Kestrel. A bunch…
Race on 38 to 40mm tires on my “cross”bike. Seems to work fine in the Northeast under all conditions for the past 6 years. Will be building up a carbon “gravel” bike that accepts up to 40mm tires. If I go on very rough…
Coming from an Thomson alloy post, the Niner RDO felt a little more comfortable but not a huge difference.
It will gain a few pounds after a muddy race so don’t worry about Lynskey’s weight !
I love titanium but it still can break. Been there, done that
Congratulations. You will really enjoy it.
good luck either way. I was planning on selling my ti bike but just can’t part with it Building up a carbon frameset bit by bit as budget allows.
I would try the Warbird. I’ve been racing on a Lynskey ProCross for five years but carbon definitely has a different feel.
Hi Any noticeable difference between the Sram Force 2.1 and newer 3.0 versions? Interested mostly in reduction of chain slap. Thanks
The 650b project for my ProCross is now on the back burner
Thank you for the replies. I have a 2016 ProCross with the plate.
Hi \nHas anyone tried using 650b on either the Lynskey Cooper or ProCross? If yes, what was the widest 650b tire that could you fit? Thanks!
I've been racing/riding a Lynskey ProCross for over a year. The geometry has been spot on for me. I've used it for 300K road rides and gravel rides/races ranging from 40 to 115 miles. The gravel roads here tend to be a…
I'm on my second year of gravel racing/riding on a Lynskey ProCross and it has been great. Many of the races include some more technical sections (including one that ended with a cyclocross circuit) so the ProCross'…
