I just ordered some Specialized Pathfinder Pro 2Bliss. 700 x 42
I'm glad they are allowing us to defer with no fee until May 15. I definitely have to think about it though as I have a lot of races in the fall so it will be a busy couple of months. I was set to stay in the dorms but…

I've only recently started to run tubeless. I've seen mention on some posts about tubeless is great unless you run into problems. not initial install but I problems out on a ride I guess. But I've only seen vague…

I'm in for the 200. Now to start figuring all the crap I need will need to carry on my bike and how.
we find out sometime later today, right?
