I have had the (mis)fortune to ride almost all of the tires listed above, or have mates currently riding them. I agree with the sentiment that suppleness is WAY overrated. You get a supple tire when you remove cut &…
I recently acquired a 2018 Warbird. I use Teravail Cannonball 38 Premiums (now, I think, called Durable) for all gravel. I've used them for years and love love love them. I've had a grand total of 1 flat since I…
Tires are not "fast" if you are pulled over fixing flats. Avoid Compass tires for this reason! Montanaman42 wrote: I looked at the Compass and my LBS owner and I both had a little concern with the thinner sidewalls.…
I think i could live with a 36. If so, would I be better off to use it with or without something like the RoadLink? I apologize if I posted on the wrong forum. I would move it if I knew how to do it. Jeb wrote: The 8000…
We always hear conflicting information about running wide range cassettes with a dual ring setup. What is the most effective way to get a 11-36t or 11-40t on a 8020 system? On my old SRAM 10 speed, the answer was so…

I got sold the Compass koolaid when I first acquired my gravel bike: Barlow Pass, gum walled in standard casing. I went for a while with no issues (2-3 months). Then I started getting flats, eventually a side wall cut.…
I just became a convert to toe and hand warmers. Why suffer? You have the ShakeDry, so you really should be set up top. I usually pack an OR waterproof shell in my pack that does not leak, but also has no…
The Gradient has 15mm more wheelbase and 5mm more chainstay than the TKO, while having 20mm less of a headtube Theoretically, any ideas how this affects the ride?

Yes. Definitely.
I am looking at building a new gravel rig. My current bike is a Singular Gryphon (think Salsa Vaya), but I want something a little faster, more nimble, and efficient yet still able to tear it up. I have ridden and…
There are hundreds of miles of good roads to ride back there, but keep in mind that a pass is required to access the Campbell Global property. Annual passes run April through March, so you may want to get day passes…

I am # on a 26# bike. I rode the 38mm Canonballs at 32f/35r and I currently run the new 42mm Cannonballs around 28/32psi.
...and the price?

I recently replaced my 46/36 crankset with Praxis Works 48/32. Big improvement! I run a wide range 11-36 SRAM cassette in the rear, and this combination is a big boost in the steep hills and on road segments where I…
