I'm interested to see how these perform on events that are more road than gravel. How are the Tufos in that regard? My Tufos are 40 mm HD Speedero. They are a new favorite for rides that have a lot of pavement but also…
Has anyone tried these? I have like another 400 miles left on my rear and just ordered a pair to go all in. No 48mm size yet, but hoping the 44mm is over stuffed. I have a lot of experience with the 29r/700 RH semi or…
Hello, I am totally new in gravel, and bought a Canyon Grail. I would like to add some frame protection with AMS, Ride Wrap etc. These brands offer different choices in level of coverage What parts or areas of the frame…
I like the idea - how would you see that working? You could vet some new official reviewers or possibly have it a forum area. I don't know your forum engine but some can be used for content generation posted in other…
Hey there! Yeah....things change for sure. I put a lot of life into MBR over the years and things just change. I have real estate and a couple businesses with some other projects on the way. It's different than always…
I missed or didn't know that any of gravel or racing were ruined or needed to be saved. Most gravel bikes and a lot of the riding is just modernized versions of early to mid 1970s. Lots of "racer" bikes had the 27 x…

I'm happy to have my bike back with minimal down time. https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2023/Shimano-Recalls-Cranksets-for-Bicycles-Due-to-Crash-Hazard Better yet, my minimizing the downtime means I have the GRX 2x pretty…
It's different bikes but I use both types of bars for gravel/all/any/adventure riding. If this is a frame designed for drop bars consider something like the Ritchey Venturemax. The sweep, width and minimal drop was a…
It would be much caution or a hard no by me for brands without a well known reputation for quality and warranty. I have a lot of bias from once working in manufacturing and inspection and still having close associates…
Try similar if you can't try those. We (same height wife and me) have bikes with similar wheel/tire capacity limitations and I've ridden others' same frame with bigger 650B tires and prefer 29 no matter what but that's…

I haven't had their racks but friends have. It seems like a lot of my associates including me have bough their stuff from it being local and knowing staff but overall no complaints. We've liked it for decent stuff at…

I know the problem and swear this has occurred to me with more Maxxis and Schwalbe than others but I had a Bontrager do it once too. I would not let my experiences stop me from getting more of same brand though. I…

Having a lot of experience with RaceKing and RH knobby tires on a Fargo I can't say the RaceKing was bad in anyway but the RH knobby was far superior. Far superior explained this way. Riding with others on road and…
My LBS and Moots customer service say match the Ultegra crank with Ultegra front derailleur and GRX crank with GRX front derailleur if you have GRX rear or clutch Ultegra rear and Ultegra or GRX brifters. This assumes…
