I do have the 3s average currently. I was think about setting up a page that had a couple of other power metrics. So it looks like the 3 that are mentioned would be good to start with.
I recently got a deal on a Stages Power Meter so I figured I would add it to the arsenal. Anyway I have a Wahoo Element and there are a ton of metrics for power. What are the most useful power metrics that should be…
1. Tubeless. I’ve only had flats when I used tubes. 2. Tires lots to choose from. I use 38 gravelking Sk. I’ve also used 35’syears ago.

Depends on what brakes you have. I recently got a new wheel set with centerlocks and I had BB7 brakes. With the Shimano rotor the BB7 there wasn't enough clearance basically the wheel wouldn't turn due to the brake pad…
Check out universalcycles.com then goto chainrings then filter shimano in the search that should get you what you need.
FSA, Easton and White Industries have cranks that are geared lower then the 50/34. I think white industries you can pretty much pick and choose what you want. You might search the forum as I think there are some posts…
I actually went from what you had to 1x with a 38 10/42 due to not using the 50 much at all. I rode it for almost 2 years now I'm back to 2x. I didn't like the big jumps. Anyway what about swapping out the crank instead…
For two nights at a hotel and a 200 entry expect to pay around $700 + or - . Then add your travel, food, etc. My cost for this year was around $850 for travel(Kansas), 200 entry with transfer fee, two nights hotel and…
I like the Specialized Grail. Mostly because it doesn't have the blocky gel inserts. It's padding is thicker more in the center of the glove.

Only thing I can think of out of the norm is riding after dark. I wore a headlamp under my helmet to light the cockpit area only. That was helpful. As far as tires go use what you like I used 35’s and I now use 38’s…
Just do what you do for other races really. This ones no different then any of the others. When I first did DK I brought the kitchen sink and never used any of it. After 5 DK's now I do nothing more then other races. I…
I ran terravail 38’s 2016 and gravelking sk 38’s 2017 and will again this year. 2015 and earlier 35’s but can remember what they were. Only two flats but not due to conditions but something with the rim tape and the…
I would go with drop bars personally gives you a lot of options over the course of a 100-200 mile ride.
How's everyone liking these wheels? Spec show they handle riders up to 240lbs. Anyone around 200lb on these? Looking for a light but solid wheelset.

Needing to replace replace what I have since it's falling apart. Anyway looking for something without a zipper and will keep whats inside dry. Also would rather not spend a ton of cash on it. Needs to hold: 2 tubes…
