@Emilio700 ...Congratulations! That was a great post race breakdown and just a super impressive result. Way to crush those flint hills...and flint mud!
Rode into town instead of exploring the gravel roads after a rain storm the day before. I have really enjoyed my Obed Boundary. It may be just a Chinese carbon frame but it has handled everything I have asked of it with…
@Mike d I did BWR Cedar City last year. Utah has to be one of my favorite states for gravel and all the other great outdoor opportunities you guys have.
Loudoun County, VA gravel roads about 45min - 1hr outside Washington, DC. Loudoun County has one of highest concentrations of state maintained gravel roads in the entire state. Comprised mostly of immaculate farms and…

Latest upgrades to the Open UP. After much hand ringing, I decided to try a 1 x drive train. Went with an Absolute Black 48t oval chainring, an 11-46 Sunrace cassette, and an XTR Di2 rear derailleur w/clutch. Overall, I…
@Jumbo ...very cool 👍👍
@pushstart ...Very nice! The bike looks great with the 2.2's on. Enjoy!
@RLB ...Great ride! Very impressive.
@Turbogrover ...I just ran 18 psi front and 20 psi rear on my last ride. Running the 27.5 x 2.2 Continental Race Kings. I parked at the trail head so the entire ride was on gravel. Here's a great calculator by SRAM for…
@Bxcc , Thanks man! Thanks also for sharing your experience with Nextie rims. Great to hear and pretty impressive. I took the Open on another muddy/wet gravel ride with the Nextie/Continenal Race King combo. Was…
@Turbogrover ...Nice! They look great! Good to hear someone with experience with Nextie rims. When building mine, I was really impressed with their quality and finish. Top marks all around. Your wheels look great on…
pushstart, Wow! That is a NICE build...absolutely gorgeous too! Titanium frame designed around 27.5 x 2.4's, man that's really impressive...and burly! The Open UP is definitely NOT rated for the 2.2's but after mounting…
pushstart, Thanks man. The company is called Nextie. I've never heard of them before but they were the only ones I could find selling carbon fiber 45mm deep rims in 650b. I have to say I am very impressed with the…
Ever since Zipp came out with their 650b 303's, I've wanted to build a set. After some internet sleuthing, I found a company that makes carbon fiber 650b 45mm deep rims. Finishing the build, I took them out for their…
Turbogrover, I really like the custom paint job and overall attitude of the bike. Very cool!
Pushstart, thanks! I came up with the design and worked with a custom painter to make it all happen. Originally I was gonna have all the logos in full color but I wanted a more low key yet still custom look. My painter…

Hi Arcocelli, I've been using both the DT Swiss G1800 and the DT Swiss ER1600 as training wheelsets for about 2-3 years now and I can't say enough good things about them. Expense wise both wheelsets are pretty…
Hi Lewis, I think if you switched to 28mm - 32mm road tubeless tires you'll see a huge difference in speed. I just recently mounted a set Continental GP 5000 TL 28mm tires (Reynolds Strike Wheelset) on to my Open UP.…
