@spinergypaul First, I want to say that was extremely helpful to work with and helped me make up my mind on which wheelset to get. Everyone that deals with customers could learn something from him! Seriously. That said,…
I road with SK's for a while and they held up pretty well. A flat here or there, but that is to be expected. I did get one of the off white variants to run on my bike and it seemed to be slightly weaker and I ended up…
I put on the Power Gravel tires last week and they have been great, so far! No weeping (yet). They aren't as supple feeling as the conti's, but tbh, I kinda got over that after a few miles on the road. You will enjoy…
Mine do the exact same thing. I put them on the day before I road in the Mid South and didn't have any issues with them going flat and didn't have them on long enough to notice if there were any pinholes before taking…
I've been thinking about new wheels for months now! Need to see if anyone wants some GXX!
I've been considering switching to some 700c wheels and I've convinced myself (maybe wrongly?) that good hubs are more important than the wheels. I see these have ceramic bearings, which is cool. Do y'all have any more…
I think the only old school mentality I'm seeing is telling someone to harden up. "Back in the day," we'd practice football on days so cold, the sweet would trickle down from your helmet and freeze on your eyebrows or…
I've looked at a number of top tube bags, even considered getting one made using some custom map printed fabric of where I grew up (like this, you can barely see the top tube bag here:…

These folks are on the forum: https://www.spinergy.com/store/category/bicycle/type/gravel Looks like a good, well price wheelset to me. I've thought about it more than a few times.
Dangle had the best advice by saying it's "pretty individual." I started gravel riding on cyclocross orientated race tires in 700x33. I did everything from road group rides to larger gravel rides (my first Land Run was…
I can't speak about the T1 from personal use, other than I've seen that it gets very good reviews, but I do have a set of PD M8120's, M9100's, and M520's. They are all... about the same. I thought I'd need to switch out…
I have two Light in Motion lights. One us the Urban 350 (I think) and the other is the Rando 500. The 500 allows for use while charging (on the low setting), which is one of the reasons I got it, aside from already…
A good washing machine with a little oxygenated cleaner and good detergent will get just about anything out of synthetic fibers. Half of my jersey is white and I thought the mud at the Mid South was going to do it in…
No post already. I bought it without intending to swap the wheelset, but then thought I might swap after the first few rides. Now that I'm used to it, I don't mind it at all. I did replace the WTB's with some 40c (wish…
The wet, soapy method is the best method. Love my bike and that color. HATE how scratched it is now (esp since I've put less than 1000 miles on it since I've bought it), but I'll live I suppose. The one thing that gives…
Some people will tell you that it is silly and that "bikes are made to be ridden," but I have (kinda have now) a beautiful deep gloss purple (it's prismatic, changes to various shades of purple and dark green) Kona…
It's gotten to the point/size that they could call it just about anything and people will still line up in droves. I'm glad they changed it, but I agree that the Mid South isn't the best name. I don't think it was…
They have had a few rainy years. I didn't start until the year after the last bad rain (cold too). I think they had a dismal, maybe 15% (I could be over blowing the DNF, but it was mighty), finish rate. They started…
