Sulphur Mtn loop, and the Sisar Canyon to Howard's Creek Route feature in the annual Peloton Gravel Mob. Can do it as two rides, but if done togethere you have 58miles with 8500ft of climbing. Do a google search for…
LBC I hope you find a buyer for that rig - I own an older model BMC with around 15K on it. An all tome favorite and classic. Good luck!
The break occured on one model only, but until exact production dates/batches/numbers are established, they are ALL off limits.
I had a 5hour ride on one today, and it is amazing - significant improvement over my 2018. If you're thinking about one, get it NOW. Next year there's a fat duty slapped on!
I have the 2018 Carbon Ultegra (Red) version. I don't miss any specific braze-on rack mounts, since my Revelate bags easily kit me up for a week out, no worries. I have had 45c's in there - I want to say that the Salsa…
+1 for Warbird - 12 months on mine, Ultegra Build: Gravel Worlds, Gravel Mob, bikepacking, commuting and all it's asked is a set of brake pads front and rear. Had it loaded up with 30lbs of gear and clocked 56mph just…
+1 for Black Mountain Cycles. Mikes frames are well designed, welded by highly skilled welders, and shouks sell for more imo. You'll have many years of happy miles on one of those.
There's a case to be made for bigger tire on the front, for sure. Sand, like you describe, would be an area where a bigger tire will "float", rather than dig in. Another is when trying to improve downhill dynamics: a…
I think you guys have been Lance-Tranced way too long. The fact that some real $ have to be paid to stage these events ( yea try and host one for free, on public roads, and make a buck) and the implied use of PEDs are…
Z - the sizing gets funky: the 35 and 40 were consistantly running bigger , so they renamed them 38 and 43. Simple enough, you'd think. \nBut the 35 weighs less than the 38, and folded flat, side by side, measures…
Z I can vouch for the control the Gravel King SK has to offer, just get the pressure right. Experiment a little before the time to dial it in. Also, if you frame allows, consider using the GK in the 43mm, at least on…
+ for EA90 - killer wheel set on bikes like Warbird or Cutthroat. Light, strong, responsive.
Gravel King fan here! Road = Gravel King 32 or 38 (Smooth) Off-Road - Gravel King SK 38 or 43 (Small Knob) Deadly tires on a Warbird
The Outback FEELS amazing to ride - thanks in part to Ritchey's approach to the carbon fork. Very different to the industry cookie cutter Tupperware approach. Not something to evaluate on a spreadsheet - it's about the…
Zman: Incorrect - he first checkpoint was at mile 85. There were two preceding Oases (official feeding stations) at miles 47 and 75. No Lotto Tickets required ( as was practice in previous years), instead you grabbed a…
You can try and reach out to Jan Heine of Compass Bikes/Tires. He's a regular cyclist in Japan. Can't say that he's ridden Oki, but he should be a good resource.
Great event, weather about as even as it can be for Nebraska that time of year. If you look at finishing times you'll note it was probably a best in 5 or 10 year scenario. Roads in fantastic condition, Lincoln a great…
Talk to Cameron Falconer - he's a specialist in Steel Off-Road rigs.
GCH - well said "probably less" Not what was asked for, but hey, it's public, and since I asked for opinions, I guess everyone has one. I'm not related to any of the parties mentioned, my own obervations relate. But if…
Thanks for all the input - nicely covered. It's the "not cool" that I'm on about, especially since the guys on the Team are such a prominent outfit. Makes no difference to my enjoyment and satisfaction, I just wanted to…
