I ride a carbon frame and I use the lizard skin frame wrap. Definitely the down-tube, left chain stay. Ironically the place where my carbon frame gets a couple of chips is on the fork and for whatever reason I didn’t…
Fabio you seem pretty knowledgeable about these companies, can you give a rundown about Airwolf? They are all over eBay and Amazon, and they have some framesets that are reasonably priced, decent weight and frames with…
Not really interested in the suspension aspect because it comes with a significant weight penalty. My search is for a gravel frameset that includes a storage box. Interesting that it seems like the direct to consumer…
Yep mixed up Grizl and Grail… Stigmata is interesting… But I did find this frameset with internal storage from lightcarbon but it ain’t that light. Frame and Fork come in at -1900 grams for the small!…
You guessed right. Enve is way out of my price range. I’m more partial to the Orbea Terra but then you don’t get the top tube bento box mounts.
Ok the following companies make gravel framesets with internal storage: specialized, trek, canyon, rodeo labs, orbea Any Chinese or other direct to consumer companies offer internal storage? Really like the new canyon…
https://www.yoeleobike.com/collections/gravel-frame/products/carbon-gravel-frame-g21 This frameset is pretty reasonably priced and comes with a standard 6 year warranty. The “artic ice” frame paint job looks fantastic.…
I’m a big fan of Donnelly tires and I am just about ready to buy a 2nd set of carbon gravel wheels from wheelsfar.com but their 40mm rims are hookless. I run Donnelly tires and they’ve always been great tires but for…
The unwritten rule to not attack in a feed zone or neutral vehicle support is definitely from road racing culture. I find this complaint ridiculous as I doubt that the BWR race organization offers a neutral motorcycle…
Would the UCI ever consider teaming up with Gravel Worlds in the heart of the US, Lincoln Nebraska to hold an elite race the day after say the weekend warriors did their event? Don’t think the UCI would ever rub…

The noise and how I repeated it: A “ping” every time I was out of the saddle and rocked the handlebar from side to side. Initial Theory: The noise seemed to come from the stem headset area. So I tightened the stem and…
The noise and how I repeated it: A tick that happened every time I put moderate force into the pedal when either the left or right crankarm was at 2 o’clock. Initial Theory: The noise could be replicated by using my…
There’s nothing more annoying than a noise coming from your expensive bike and I’ve found that it is difficult to find information on how to solve your noise problem. The best information I have found is from BBINFINITE…
Anyone have experience with Airwolf carbon frames? Ventured over to their website and they offer a carbon gravel frame for around $400-$500, free shipping and a great selection of paint options… The only immediate…
Race directors need to be willing to enforce their own rules such as no team support cars on the course. Obviously giving a handup of food or water from a team vehicle would get noticed and a complaint raised. But isn’t…
The unbound gravel, bwr, steamboat, etc are great events and have their place, but I enjoy the smaller events that are low key, offer good food, atmosphere for participants and family after the ride/race. I feel you can…
I highly recommend bbinfinite for a solid pressfit solution. I have two carbon frames that are pressfit bb and both bbinfinite. A very good investment. It’s a one piece solution, bearings are replaceable, and very…
Just did the Pony Express 160km in Trinidad CO. The Farsports wheels were amazing and handled all types of road conditions from pavement, gravel, sand, and rocky jeep trails (fit for mountain bike, gravel bike not so…
