I've typically run longer races and they are not usually marked. I've not had issues with GPS navigation, but this is on gravel roads. I can see if you are on some sort of MTB trail then it may be more confusing. But…
Exactly, hitting potholes and rocks while riding a bike is totally normal. Sounds like you hit that pothole pretty hard ...but your whole tyre didn’t blow off? If a tyre company is using hitting a rock as an excuse for…
Sure no proof, but if you cant hit a rock when you’re riding your bike without the tyre blowing off there remains a safety problem. Where is the proof of damage to the rim? Hitting a rock is not enough of an…
But... but... a tubular would have stayed on in that situation! 🙂
1) I'd ignore the sizes and go by stack/reach. You're looking at an era where geometry was changing and letter sizes or TT length may not be that helpful. That said, I'm super happy on my 58cm Warbird and also have a…
I'm just impressed that you got a Stans dart to work. My experience with them is that they blasted straight through the tire and ended up inside the tire leaving me to have to swap in a tube.
4700mi on my Terra Speeds when the rear was worn out. But that's riding 98% Michigan gravel/dirt roads. They rarely see any pavement. Bought another set, kept the front as a spare.
Like my MP&L folks at work ask me... what's the part number? Only way to tell.
I believe it has to do with the way the contact patch changes as the bike leans. It's still there with flat bars and fat tires. A touch more air pressure will usually make it away, but then what's the point of the big…
I think suspension would be better, but would rather a design with less weight and less travel than the current options. For now, I am happy with frame compliance (Salsa Warbird) and a Redshift stem. My hardtail MTB has…

Giro brand goggles from Amazon. Started using them on fat bike rides, but now I'm keeping them at increasingly higher temps and shedding or thinning other insulating gear instead to maintain comfort. What I've noticed…

I only recently realized that BRR doesn't test gravel tires >45mm. And doesn't test MTB tires <55mm. So the range of gravel tires in the 47-50mm window are totally ignored. As someone with a love for the drop bar…
Makes me think of the early/mid 80's "sport touring" bikes that often ran 27x1.25" (aka: 32mm) tires plus clearance for fenders. It might not be quite as fast as a trimmed down racing bike, but gains a lot of everyday…

Viathon G1. (well, 51mm...) Also another person interested in frames capable of taking a 29x2 tire
I've got a bike pretty similar to what you are talking about. I put a set of Woodchippers on a 29er and used 10sp SRAM equipment because the 10sp road and mtn components use the same cable pull per shift. Anyways, I…
