What is your opinion about unmarked courses in gravel races? This year I've done five gravel races (I'm not really racing them). All five were on unmarked courses. For four of them, this was a change from the past. The…
Many good replies here. My two cents. I'm older and back of pack. I've only done 17 gravel races. Sixteen were the smallish Mississippi Gravel Cup (four races Jan-Feb) the last four years. One was FNLD GRVL (Finland…
Zipp releases photos of the rim . (front page of Cyclingnews.com)
Panaracer says they are their fastest gravel tires yet, which, considering the slow-rolling reputation of their current tires, makes me wonder where they stack-up among all the other tires and brands out there. Where do…
Just when it sounds like the cause of the crash had been identified... "The manufacturers of tire and wheel issued statements suggesting that a big rock was to blame for the accident, not some technical issue with rim…
All the fear mongering from this incident is getting ridiculous. Vittoria already investigated the incident and said he hit a rock and broke the rim. This had nothing to do with hookless rims. In fact hooked rims are…
I mounted a pair of 36mm Thunderos at the beginning of this year. Couldn't go wider and fit my bike (and I had to shave side knobs off front tire). About 650 miles so far. No flats (maybe just lucky, but not ridden on…
So according to Cyclingnews , a rival (to the scope system in the OP) tire pressure adjustment system was used in a UCI pro race today: A Gravaa KAPS (kinetic air pressure system) hubset system has been spotted on Team…
Welcome. Thanks for that information. Your English is good, and you've represented your bike sponsor well. When you have time, please tell us about gravel riding in your area and in China generally. Also, is gravel…

Cyclingnews reports today that still no time line for getting the system into a pro race and that system likely won't be used at Paris-Roubaix this year.

I'm with you on the science part. You list some science based steps in your process, but then you say: Next, decide how much tread is required, if any. I want a knob of at least 1mm, so that reduces the selection by 5:…

AnyAndAllRoads wrote: And I think that's where the drum tests fail. Running a single tire on the equivalent of a flat road is just not the same as riding 2 tires, especially uphill where more of the weight is on the…
Thanks for link. I enjoyed reading that. Reports like that give a great window into the gravel racing scene. I'm glad some pros are both racing and writing. The "complaint" didn't really stand out to me. I'm guessing…
I've been lurking on this forum for a long while. Great stuff here, thanks everyone. I think having different treads can have benefit. For about three months I've had Panaracer 35 SK TLC (small knobs,with bigger but…
