I used Gorilla (2 layers) on two sets of wheels. I don’t think it holds air any better or any worse than another wheelset I have that I used Stan’s tape. I usually cut the the Gorilla tape down to 3/4” using a razor…
Wow, nice job and cool color scheme. I have a Crockett so I appreciate what you’ve done to those bikes.
Buy the 2018 Trek Crockett...you won’t regret it. If you have the money the 2018 Boone is the same bike in Carbon...or you could wait on the new Trek Checkpoint (see other thread) which is more gravel/adventure…

I have a 2018 Trek Crockett 5 and it makes a great gravel bike if you are looking at Trek. It has flat mount disc brakes, 12mm Thru-axles and clearance for at least 40c gravel tires. I love mine. Decent price and I love…
Have the 18 Crockett 5 and I love the bike for winter road riding and gravel. I was not looking at the Crockett early on as I was looking for a gravel bike and prior to the 18 model it didn't have what I wanted. But, as…
Hey Chas, I had not heard of skinnystripper.com before. Do you find the sealant does not get on the tire bead as bad by using skinnystrippers?
I found using an old rag and rubbing alcohol with soften the old Stan's sealant. I also used a bottle of chain lube (any sturdy round tube of something will work) to put in the tire to give me a firm surface to rub…
i looked at the Giant back in the spring but ended up buying the 2018 Trek Crockett 5 when it came out. I got a good deal at the time. Alloy frame, carbon fork SRAM Rival 1 drive train, etc. I'm of the opinion if you…

Here's a good review article. I have TRP Spyre's on my gravel bike and love them. My MTB has Hyd Shimano and I can't tell much difference if any. \n \n…
I recently bought a CX bike for gravel and it came with Bontrager TLR 17mm internal width wheels (on the heavy side too). I mounted 40c Kenda Flintridges and they work fine. Actually went on the rim Tubeless very easy.…
My observation on my stock set up as mentioned above (40t SRAM Rival 1x with 11-32). took it out on some steep gravel and although it shifts nice, I definitely needed some extra climbing gears. I'll eventually get an…
Finally got the new Crockett 5 in and took the maiden voyage today and I'm really please so far. Only had time to do 30 miles mainly pavement. Ran a 40c Kenda Flintridge on the front (tubeless) and the stock Bontrager…
