Yes, the 430mm chainstays on the Warbird should allow the chain to clear the big chainring when on the 34x11 combination. My Canyon has shorter chainstays, which contributes to the problem. Given that the R8000 front…
I'm using The WTB i23 on my Raleigh Roker. I have the 700x38 Hutchinson Overide on the back. This tire is nearly a slick, with a faint file tread pattern. It's probably one of the fastest rolling truly tubeless gravel…
I have the Ultegra R8000 compact crankset & front derailleur on my Canyon Endurace CF SL. The bike originally came with a 5800 series compact crankset and derailleur, so the R8000 was an upgrade. I also have the 6800…
After starting this thread, I went ahead and purchased both the Overide and the Terreno Dry in the 700x40 size. \n\nCurrently I'm running the Terreno Dry on the front and the Overide on the rear. The combination rolls…
If it ain't broke...
IMO, the local bike business is not only being damaged by online sellers, it's also being damaged by the major manufacturers who depend on traditional brick & mortar retailers. \n \nThe current business model requires…
I have purchased online from multiple sources, including directly from Raleigh and Canyon. However, the buyer really needs to know if the bikes offered will fit by knowing your ideal size and checking the geometry…
The Inflite with two wheelsets, one set of road friendly tires and an alternative gravel friendly pair of tires could probably do everything my Endurace and Roker do. Congrats on a great do-it-all racing bike.
The Roker performs very well on soft, irregular gravel. This is not just due to larger gravel tires. The wheelbase is longer, the head-tube and seat-tube angles are slack and the bike is not deflected by loose gravel.…
Nice review! I recently added a Canyon Endurace SL. This bike is my mostly pavement/some gravel bike, I have a Raleigh Roker for rural gravel roads and trails. \n \nThe Endurace will fit any 700x32 gravel tire and can…
Missouri, and towns within 50 miles of its borders, has a balanced blend of gravel roads & trails, brief winters, moderate summers and numerous gravel events. Most of the gravel events are in central and southern…
I have the Compass 700x32 Stampede Pass on a vintage Cyclocross bike. This bike gets used on chipseal and limestone paths and the tire is reliable. I'll be the first to admit, it's on this bike for aesthetics. It's…
If your lighter than average, you should be able to ride most gravel surface with a 700x36 tire like the X'PLOR MSO 700 X 36 - tubeless. \n\nIf you can't fit this on the Domane, I'd seek out a gravel bike that will take…

Bring extra tubes and a patch kit, just in case.
I've run several of the combinations seen in the article.\n \n(I was amused to see my photo of my Soma Double Cross with 3x10 gearing used in the article: see the photo under "9/10 Speed Option: Shimano Road Triple…
So I was able to rebuild the rear wheel with the new Shimano RS 770 hub, SM-RT81 disc and DT Swiss Competition (double butted) spokes for $190. I think I'll be happy with the upgrade.

I took the dive and ordered the Shimano RS 770 rear hub from Amazon Prime for $82. It's the only Shimano hub that uses a 12x142 axle and takes a road 11-speed cassette that I could identify. It also seems to be Ultegra…
