I have registered for my first gravel ride/race and looking for training advice. According to the race/ride promoters: "The World Famous Rock Cobbler is a stupidly hard ride bordering on a race. As always we are…
This was my excuse to buy a nicer set of wheels for gravel. I picked up a set of crank brothers wheels then used the stock set for road. The only annoyance is having to adjust my derailleur when I switch because my road…
I am looking for recommendations on frame bags for my Raleigh Roker Comp...any suggestions?
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I ended up putting on some SRAM Centerline XR Rotors with new pads. So far, they seem to be able to handle the extra braking power needed and are able to disperse heat a little better.…
I am looking to improve the braking with my Raleigh Roker Comp. I am currently running SRAM Rival 1 brakes and rotors. Can I run any other types of rotor (shimano ice tech, hope, etc.) and will any of these improve both…
I switched from SRAM 11-42 cassette to a sunrace 11-46 with Rival 1 rear derailleur on my Raleigh Roker Comp and also had no issues other than readjusting the derailleur and adjusting b-screw. Shifts into the 46 no…
Yeah, I get the shifting all over the place. I have not noticed my paint chipping excessively, but I will probably need to inspect it a little more carefully next ride. Kerry
jfranci3, I am already on 160's but I will certainly try metallic pads. I have also ordered a pair of shimano icetech rotors to see if that helps as well. Thanks for the suggestions! Kerry
Zman, I have the same roker comp as you. I have re-geared mine with a 38t absolute black oval chainring and an 11-46 sunrace rear cassette. I live in southern California and ride this bike predominately on the dirt and…
I am currently running SRAM Rival 1 brakes on my 2018 Raleigh Roker Comp Gravel Bike. I live in Southern California and have been experiencing some brake fade and excessive heat build-up on long descents or steep…

+1 for the Raleigh Roker Comp. With the SAVE5, Cooperate, and Active Junky discount, you WILL NOT find a better bike! One problem with the Roker Comp...I no longer want to ride my mountain bike because the Roker Comp is…
I also purchased a Roker Comp a few weeks back. This is my first gravel/road bike as I grew up solely riding mountain bikes. The packing on my bike pretty much mimics what everyone else has said...hole with derailleur…
I just picked up my new Raleigh Roker Comp and LOVE it! I live in southern California and commute 1-2 days a week to work. On my way home, I can cut through Laguna Wilderness Area and hit pavement, dirt fire roads, and…
I'm not quite sure if this means anything...but I also picked up a Raleigh Amelia 1 for my wife the same time I picked up my Roker Comp from the FedEx office. The box with the Amelia 1 did not have a mark on it and…
You guys are awesome!!! Thank you for all the suggestions and helpful information. I just ordered two replacement hangers from 925engineering. I think I will bypass a warranty claim and just eat the $30 for two CNC…
Just picked up my new Roker from the FedEx office! I have not unpacked it yet but the box looked like it was handled pretty aggressively! There was a small hole in the side and could see the rear derailleur sticking…
Full disclosure I guess you know gravel riding can become addictive right? I'm hooked...but not sure my rims are!!!! My only complaint with gravel riding is that it is taking away from my mountain biking
Hi everyone, I am new to gravel riding and just picked up a pair of the Panaracer Gravel King SK's in 700x35c. I am going to mount them on my Bianchi San Jose SS but was wondering if I can mount them tubeless on my…
Hi everyone. I am looking at both bikes and trying to decide which would be a better bike for me. I am new to gravel riding and do not know much about frame geometry and how to apply numbers like "stack and reach". As…
