I had one of the first years of the 920. The wheels seemed decent for OEM. Not too heavy, but also not flimsy. The 920 is purpose built to be pretty stout, so it wouldn't make sense to put something lightweight on it. I…
Great review. Do you have wide or narrow feet? I guess medium width would be an option too, but it seems like most people fit in either wide or narrow categories, for some reason. Which of the shoes in your review would…
Shimano 105 can be had in a silver colorway. It's not polished silver, but it would be the newest and closest to silver you could get. You can run the 7000 series long cage rear derailleur with at least a 40T largest…
This might be late getting to the party, but I had a Trek 920. It's a very comfy bike. Almost too comfy. From my roadie background, I didn't like it's long chainstays and bouncy fork (even though it was made of…
Here's another vote for the Cannondale Topstone. I got the Sora version and then swapped groupsets and wheels with my 2018 Fuji Jari 1.3 (Shimano 105). My Jari developed a creak I could not fix even with multiple full…
I'm no wheel expert, though I have built a few. I also have a Cannondale Topstone (Sora version with different upgrades). I had a spare wheelset with 32 hole hubs/spokes - Stans Grail S1 wheelset - pretty basic. I…
I've had a set of Soma Supple Vitesse EX 42C tires for over a year. Not sure how many miles, but probably around 1000 or so. The rear is getting pretty bald (no more texture), but no major issues with flats, aside from…
The Radavist liked the Stigmata so much, they had a custom bike modeled after it. That sounds like a good endorsement to me. If I could afford one, I'd go for it in a heartbeat. Good luck with your build!
Personally I have gone all-in with kLite with their crazy bright headlight and USB Charger (the 2 port kind) . Just a note - if you do go with kLite for either their light or USB charger, you also need to buy one of…
Heyo, sorry if I came across as accusatory. I just wanted to provide a voice of black and white ethics. I know stashing a water bottle is nowhere near as bad as cutting a course, but if ethics are your concern, anything…
Here's a hypothetical for you: you are racing along in 40th place and a person you kind of know is behind you. Then all of a sudden they aren't, but they didn't pass you on the designated course. After the race, you see…
Your friend's most consistent solution is going to be switching to a smaller toothed crankset and keeping the rest as normal. Companies are just now realizing that people would prefer the smaller toothed cranksets, so…
Pass Less Pedaled does gravel biking, bike touring, bike fishing, and bourbon reviews. The channel is definitely more laid back, but very entertaining and great quality vids. It's all about the Supple Life.
If I had to do it again, or if I could have found it cheaply available back when I was shopping in the fall, I would have bought the frame only (which is the 1.1 color/paint) and built it from the ground up. I got a…
With regard to geometries and such I should mention I have a Surly Ogre and have had a couple mountain bikes in the past, but again, most of my lifetime miles have been road. Also, I use bags or baskets on the front of…
I have the 2018 Fuji Jari 1.3 and I LOVE it. I also come from a roadie background and really enjoy the familiarity with the Jari's road-like geometry. I have a Trek 920 and it's a weird compromise between road and MTB,…
