Proper crank length is both a function of femur length and personal preference as to spin/cadence/power/comfort. I'm 5' 10" and have had crank lengths from 170mm to 175mm, for road bikes I prefer 170 and a spin, for SS…
great looking wheelset specs!! how wide?
beaded, and actually tubeless certified.....for whatever that is worth, given the conversation about standards and the lack thereof :-}
would using a latex or standard tube make it less likely to blow? Interested, I just bought a set but were going to run tubes but like my teeth and don't pleasure eating pave'
Darwins natural selection in real time action.....
the reality is that many...and I mean many of the 'brand' hoops are built in china and rebranded upon arrival here. I have one, a planet X branded tubular wheelset that I am positive was built in china and assembled…
I agree, its simply part of the annual maintenance to survey the bars for corrosion and replace the housing, so unfortunately there is no way to get around that. You just have to be careful, unwrap and rewrap, or replace

I have used the Gore ride on, from SRAM back in the day, and from what I understand, the Jagwire sealed system is much the same, as I understood, they bought the rights or transferred them or whatever business's and…
pls post your thoughts after your first rides i agree, that geometry is great and for 38s that is ideal
actually, yes, there are. Waterford makes one, road, the R-33 I believe. Looks very nice and can be customized. Maybe even for gravel, given they have cx frames and they have relationships w/Gunnar and they have cx/road…
I've used the challenge gravelgrinder 38 tubed, and they are rock solid, decent rollers, and reliable. I'm however changing over to tubeless, panaracer GKs 35mm, so will be able to testify later how it goes. Agree that…
I would agree, I definitely notice it with speed changes/accelerations and climbing (although I am no climber)...BUT I would add another place I have noticed benefits of less wheel weight is toward the end of a long…
I call this myth...and pseudo science. Just look at the PRO peloton, and yeah, that's why every racer out there is using wheels that weigh over 2kg....and tubulars that weigh more and.....yeah, that's just not what we…
very well said thumper
agree...why go with one or the other, why not both?? question: why 38/50 fr/rear?? why not 50/50 for aero benefit, given the nominal wt difference?? great wheelset, super smart!!

what an interesting question: the old school mentality and the weather I personally have always had the attitude that I need to harden up. Its simply in my genome, it started when I was a kid, taking the initiative to…
agree, not a huge difference, I run from 170mm on road for spinning, to 175 on mtn bike singlespeed. The 175 gives a bit of leverage and you will note not spinning as easy but you better be able to crunch a gear on…
