Maybe someone can confirm, but looks like the ALR version uses a band clamp front derailleur while the carbon has a direct mount. I think the band clamp should allow for conversion to some nice low gear subcompact…
While I have not seen the bikes yet, a similar thought ran through my mind. If Trek rolled out the rear iso speed on the aluminum version of the Procaliber, which runs 29er wheels with 2.3inch rubber, why would they not…
Any specific geometry numbers/charts yet?
Anyone know if the bikes will be spec’d with a subcompact crankset to provide for a lower range of gearing? Thanks
I heard a rumor that Trek is coming out with a true gravel bike (not their rebadged Domane) called the checkpoint. Anyone have any intel to confirm if this, release date, other details?
Any experiences (ride quality, etc.) with the Volpe as an all around gravel grinder. Seems like a nice and simple all steel rig, with fairly neutral geometry. Celeste color is pretty nice as well. \n…
I ended up buying the Soma Shikoro 42c tires. After the arrive and I have a few miles on them I'll provide an update for those who may be interested. Thanks for all the comments and thoughts.
I have a specialized dealer close by so I will take a look at the sawtooth, after checking to make sure I have the clearance. One other tire I came across is the Soma Shikoro 42c, which may be closer to 40c when mounted.
The refuse looks like a good option. Thanks for mentioning it. Wide but more of a slick tread.
Good suggestion on the g one. I am also considering the challenge gravel grinder race tire, which is 700x38 like the g one. Having trouble finding a tire that will also be a good everyday commuter (fast on pavement)…
I commute about 26 miles round trip into Washington DC and do long gravel rides on the C&O canal tow path on the weekends. I have been running the clement explor 35 (60 tpi) tires with tubes that came on my bike. I am…
I would assume they are wrong for the carbon bikes since the numbers for the aluminum frames are in line with normal.
According to Breezer's website and Bicycling Magazine's first ride review it is about 20 pounds (size 56), which seems really light for a steel frame bike? Anyone have actual experience with the ride quality?
That is very interesting to hear. How much clearance is there with the 38's and are the 38's true to size? Thanks.
I know there has been a review of the Fyxation Crusher on this site, but has anyone else had any experience with the bike. It appears to be on sale at the moment. Thanks.…
I am considering the V85 as well. Any idea on weight and whether it can fit a 40mm tire?
I am considering a "gravel" bike (it will be number 4 for me-I have 2 road bikes (carbon and steel) and a steel mountain bike). I am thinking of giving one of the aluminum bikes a go to save some weight and cash. I know…
