I have those tires on some Pacenti SL-23 rims that had a nice width at 20mm but not huge by today's standards. The 700x35c's came out to 38.5mm with 50 psi. I had a mechanic tell me that when that tire stretches to a…
On that bar: As an ergonomics guy, I was jealous that my buddy with a Grail could hook his thumbs up over the middle section of the hoover bar when in the drops. Since I discovered Road TOGS, I'm pretty keen on buying a…
I've heard great things about the Grail and the angles on it are the same as the SuperX but stack and reach numbers are way bigger. It could have something to do with that funky bar set up. I was closely comparing these…

It seems pretty obvious to me that the fastest rolling tire for mixed surfaces is going to be one with a file/smooth tread in the center and more aggressive as you move out, similar to this Challenge Gravel Grinder.…
Hey Gravel Grinders - my first post here. I fell in love with gravel last season just riding my aluminum, rim-brake Specialized Crux (CX bike). Now I want something more substantial and higher performing (stiffer,…
