I bought the Mavic All Road Pro last fall (see my posts above). I really like them. Reasonably light. Seem very tough and well made. I like the Mavic tires in 40mm. VERY easy to mount. Simple air pump seats the tires no…
Glad to see I’m not the only one curious about this. Whether this is a marketing gimmick or has potential performance benefits Mavic has done a poor job of advertising it. No mention on their website and no mention in…
As a follow up to my own post- based on numerous pictures I have found in reviews around the web I concluded that, in fact, the tread direction is not intended to be the same on the front and rear wheel. This isn't…
I recently bought a set of Mavic Allroad Pro with the 40mm Yksion tires mounted. The tires have an arrow showing "front" and "rear" to show proper rotation direction. I found it odd that when delivered the rear tire was…
Check the internal widths - depending on what tires you want to run. I think the Eastons are between 19 and 20mm if I remember correctly. The Stans are probably more like 21. I'm in the market for wheels myself and I'm…
Similar experience on the Mavic Spokes. I had a road rider go down behind me in a group ride and somehow his drop bar became lodged in my spokes as my wheel was turning. The bar snapped my carbon seat stay but the…
I am seriously considering the new Mavic Allroads as well. I have had Ksyrium Elites on my road bike now for several years (and Aksiums before that)so I have good experience with Mavic in general. When they first came…
I don't run high pressure. Currently running tubeless on stock wheels. Been experimenting with pressure but generally in the 35-38 psi range and I weigh 185. I have been focusing on wheels in the 21mm + internal width.
I have a Giant TCS SX and I'm looking to upgrade the stock wheels which are VERY heavy with what seem to be low quality hubs. I'm looking for alloy rims below $1,000 for the set. I'm also wanting to upgrade my current…
I was wondering the same thing since I couldn't find them anywhere. I emailed Clement and was told they have not yet started production on these wheels so they were not shipping yet and that is why they were not for…
In the DFW area Spinistry puts on a few nice Gravel Grinders. Seems to be about one a month. As far as Facebook - around here at least it is just about mandatory. All the local clubs - Road, Mtn, Gravel - use FB as the…
Is this the Category for Texas rides? I did the 2017 Red River Riot this past weekend. My first gravel grinder. I stopped at 35 miles this year but learned a lot in the process. My pacing was off and the hills and wind…
I am fairly new at the gravel scene but I put my SPD-M530 pedals on my gravel bike and use my mountain bike shoes. The 530s are trail pedals with the frame around the pedal. The tread of my shoes sits on this frame and…
My new Giant TCX Advanced SX \n \n
Well, fyi if you click the Ritchey add right above the forum that Ritchey cross bike happens to have this bar on it.
Thanks. I'm leaning toward the Evomax bar at 40 cm. It has a sweep back on top for more ergo hand position and the flare would be effectively a 42cm bar in the drops. Seems like it will give me the low reach compact…
New member here and fairly new gravel cyclist. I recently bought a Giant TCX Advanced SX for gravel riding. I really like the bike but the bars are too wide and more reach than I like. It came with 44cm flared bars and…
