These new Hunt wheels look amazing at that weight, and that price. https://us.huntbikewheels.com/products/hunt-34-aero-wide-disc-wheelset

Thanks for posting this. I thought I was fairly familiar with the NW gravel scene, but there are a lot of rides here I want familiar with. 👍
Dinger wrote: Yeah? Looks like that bike has a short-ish 425mm chain stay (same as checkpoint in short position). They must’ve gotten there with a very flat chainstay profile. Is the rear brake hose internally routed?…

I can't speak to the Kona, but i built a Search XR Steel for my girlfriend and she absolutely loves it. I built it with some WTB 650b wheels that I pulled of of one of my bikes. She's using Soma Randoneur 650bx42c tires…
Do you have homeowners or renters insurance? They should cover your property (in the event that the at fault driver was uninsured, etc...). I had an incident where someone closed a garage door and snapped the top tube…

I finally got this bike out for a proper gravel ride on Saturday. 85 miles round trip from Carnation Washington to the train tunnel at Snoqualmie Pass (and back). 60.5cm Norco Search XR Custom Build Ultegra Di2 50/34…
I've not used them, so I'm not basing this on personal experience, but I do know a few folks who like their Dark Speedworks bag, which come in various sizes and strap on and bolt on versions…
Not sure what part of the state you are in, but besides the Campbell Global/Snoqualmie Forest, there is the Snoquamlie Valley Trail from Duvall up to Rattlesnake Lake (with a small interruption around the down of…
I've got two sets of them on gravel bikes for two full seasons now, and I love them. I probably wouldn't choose them for a hardcore gravel ride where there was a lot of chunky, sharp rocks, but for the forest service…

That handlebar is a deal breaker for me. I spend 99% of my time on the hoods, and 1% in the drops (maybe a little more with my wider flare now). I spend zero time on the tops of my bars, so the 'flex' would provide no…
I have several sets of White hubs that are several years old, and none show any signs of corrosion or pitting. I live in the northwest, where it's wet 3/4 of the year. I do take care to keep them clean and wiped down…

This may be old news, but I was just stumbling around the interwebs and randomly found an article explaining that the Clement name was licensed to Donnelly Cycling, but starting a month or three ago, they will be…
