I picked up a Rocky Mountain Solo about a month ago when Jenson was blowing them out. I have about 200 miles on it so far and it's fantastic. Light, compliant, stable...all the good things. I did swap bars with the…
Hey all. I'm in Colorado and looking to go south for a ride soon when the weather gets bad. Any recommendations? Arizona, maybe New Mexico (not sure how cold it gets there), Texas, California, etc would all be in play.…
I've had this problem with all my Continental tires but haven't noticed it causes any real issues other than annoyance. So far, the Vittorias on the gravel bike haven't had this issue. I run Stan's on the MTB and gravel…
A gravel race calendar would be awesome! One place to go to view all races or a large portion of races would make it so much easier to plan events I wanted to attend. Users could add other events like grass roots, large…
No interest at all. If I need a suspension fork, I simply ride my HT MTB.
I use Time MTB pedals on all my bike. Easy in/out and sheds mud better than any other pedals I've used.

Thanks @Zurichman ! I've been wanting to try a set and this was the perfect opportunity. Saved me $53!
Good write up....my cabin is about 40 miles straight east of Chino and I ride the gravel roads several times a year. The heat can be excruciating and the hills are harder than they look. At 51, I haven't raced in 10…
I've done this and while it was a fun project, in the end it wasn't worth the hassle to try and get a good fit on the MTB conversion. I did this on my old Vassago Jabber (which is longer than most frames) and the Giant…

I can see this for someone like 6'2" and taller. Other than that, it's just another way to sell product.
Wow....just clicked through all of the pics....talk about BAD photoshop. I think this takes the cake!
I ran this as a rear tire for a bit. I found it hooked up really well in the rough stuff. Easy gravel/canal trails, it was slow but I also run a similar tire (Conti Terra Trails) now front and rear. They're slow too but…
It really depends on what kind of riding you do or plan to do, how much suspension you want/need, frame material you want, etc. Too many variables to answer your question. Can you give more details on what you want to…
Sorry, I don't have anything for you but I do question why no steel? That's all I ride. 🙂 And I lived and rode in the Seattle area for 8 years....gorgeous and awesome riding!
I agree with Angstrom on climbing. It's mostly mental. When I lived in the PNW, every ride had at least a 3 mile climb, sometimes upwards of 6-8 miles. I embraced it and loved climbing. I used to push myself really…

Storing some coffee for an overnighter? 😁 I've never seen that before.
