Stil one of my favorite tires after all those years and after testing A LOT of other tires. They're very capable in most conditions, and have the best track record with regards to puncture resistance in the very…
I do know both, the Yokos and the TRP Hy/RD. Both are better than your Promax mech. brakes. But they're not in the same league as even the cheapest Shimano full hydro brakes. I'd suggest you spend the money for new…
No, why would you? If it isn't because you want or must save money, I don't see any reason.
Believe me it's really impossible. For more than one reason. I don't have the time to go into more detail, just want to help you to move on.

Your impression / information with regards to the character of the roads / tracks is correct. Even though there might be slight modifications to the route there is usually little to no singletrack involved. Most of it…

Pacenti still using "only" AL6061?
I also gave the Syzr a solid and long testing period before I jumped all in and bought another two pairs for the other bikes. In the winter I even ride them on my mountain bike although they are somewhat prone to…
What is a BB-EVO8681 bb shell?
@theadonnan: Although UST is already 17 years old, it's still the only certified tubeless standard so far as it was adopted by the ETRTO (European organization for tire and rim standardization) as their official…
Not only as a rider but also as a dealer I have experience with all those hubs / wheels you consider. DT240s is far above any other hub in your list. In fact it's the only hub from your list which we did not have…
I can recommend the WTB KOMs for gravel use. Easy to build because of their precision and strong enough for the job while being not too stiff vertically. If 40mm is the upper limit of what you will ever use on those…
It all depends on where you ride and how steep and long the climbs are. My gravel bike has an XTR FC-M985 crank with 44/28 and the corresponding 11-40 cassette. And believe it or not, it's not the big exception that I…
I would suggest as a general rule of thumb that has worked out for nearly all riders when going from a proven road bike fit to a gravel bike to shorten the saddle-to-handlebar distance by 1 to 1.5 cm and rise the…
I own a I9 road wheel set with those hubs. After less than 1,000 km with little rain but some gentle bike washings the bearings inside both hubs are already corroded. Seems like water enters the hub through the spoke…
