I usually deflate my tires by about 10-15psi when flying with my gravel bike. The beads won't unseat so there is nowhere for sealant to leak from.
I'm a huge fan of the Bontrager BAT cages. I have used them for ~15 years on various mountain bikes, gravel bikes, road bikes etc. and never dropped a bottle. You can see that even the Trek Segafredo team use them for…
Couldn't you take an 11-32 11sp cassette and swap the bottom 4 or 5 cogs from an x-12 11sp cassette?

A big factor that people always seem to gloss over when discussing 1x vs. 2x is fitness. If you're a super strong climber and you can climb 10%+ gradients at 7 or 8mph, then you don't need to have a 1:1 ratio and you…
My gravel bike is now 1x and I'm pretty confident that I won't go back to 2x. I run a 42t chain ring and an 11-36 cassette. I can ride pretty comfortably at about 25-28mph (assuming there is a downhill, of course) but…

I'm driving up from Vancouver, BC. I was hoping to escape some of the never-ending rain that we've been having but alas...
Thanks for the report!
I don't really expect to see another suspension fork like the Rock Shox Roubaix SL fork that we saw 20ish years ago be used at Roubaix. Current bikes are able to have considerably more compliance built in than the…
How long until full suspension? Not long at all. One just needs to add a Lauf fork or the Fox fork to the Pinarello (soft-tail) gravel bike. http://www.pinarello.com/en/bikes-2017/road/gan-gr-s-disk
I have a two bed dorm room and am looking to: (1) trade for a one bed dorm room; or (2) find a roommate. (My friend has decided not to attend this year - and I am NOT able to help you buy his registration - seriously )…
I am doing my first DK200 this year (coming out from Vancouver, BC) and am trying to workout my gearing setup. I have been running 36/46 and 11-32 for gravel events but am switching to 1x this month. I'm thinking of…
