Having time to research this, I think it's a wash. Most of your flat bar designed bikes are stretched out like a MTB.
Currently on a 2021 Giant Revolt and 2015 Nature Boy disc. I'm not a new rider and these aren't new to me, nor have I made recent changes. Well, I had a 2019 Revolt prior to this. I have a pinched nerve root, that…

Folks I need some input here. I have a pinched nerve in my neck and riding drop bars increases the pain and numbness. My plan is to go to riding a flat bar, but don't want to ride a fat bike or an MTB on gravel. What…

I have put down 200 miles on it since I purchased it. Asphalt, smooth gravel and the chunky stuff. You cannot get any smooth than this beast. My friend was riding next to me down a chunky gravel road. He said "Can feel…

Well, I have to say they must have misread something about the fork. I have Byway 44s on there now and well there is 3/8" on each side and probably 5/16" between the top of the tire and below the fork crown. Definitely…
I broke down and ordered one. I will have it hopefully by Friday and be out on it Saturday if it's not raining all day.
I have seen tires with bad beads blow off the wheel no matter what you do. This has happened with a some FAT tires I mounted and it recently happened with a GK SKs that had a messed up case, sidewall and bead. It's not…
The Torrenos were tight going onto all three wheelsets I have, Rovals, Reynolds ATR and Carbon Speed hoops (least tight, but the jack was needed). Byways were super tight going on my 29er Rovals and stock Bontrager…
Vittoria Torreno Dry I needed the tire jack. Byway 44s I needed the tire jack.
I don't have sitting pain, I only have standing and walking pain. I had PRP injection and they helped a load with sitting and sleeping pain. I have thought about Gluten for my arthritis, but none of my other joint hurt.…
Unfortunately the Revolt has the D-post and well you know the answer there. The stem I don't need. It's all about shot and bad knees. I did find two very helpful reviews on YT. Now it's time to sell my current bikes to…
Has anyone one on this page test ridden one of these bikes? My knees are toast and I'm waiting for this COVID-19 crap to blow over to start the process for replacements. In the meantime, I'm looking at purchasing one of…
I took them out for a 28 mile ride yesterday. Tested them in different conditions and I must say I'm pretty pleased! 1. Cornering on hard packed gravel and asphalt is spot on 2. Cornering on hard packed gravel with…

A rule of thumb... if it hurts or is too rough in gravel, your tire pressure is too high. If it's squirrely on the asphalt or hard packed gravel, your tire pressure is too low. We aren't all built the same, our bikes…
