I run 42mm tires on the Hed Belgium+ rims and love it. The weight penalty is minimal for wider rims, especially in carbon - Knight Composites has a 25mm internal rim (the Trail model) that’s 400g. I’ve run WTB Horizons…
I’d definitely recommend DT-Swiss hubs over Kings. I’ve owned both, and in my experience, the Kings require more maintenance more often, and it requires more work to do that maintenance. The other advantage to the…
Odin’s Revenge did a figure-eight course, with the start/finish as the crossover. That would be a nice alternative to the double loop.
You’ll want at least 5mm on each side of your tire. You can get away with that if it’s dry, no problem. Tire choice at DK is always a big question - keep an eye on the weather, consider a cyclocross mud tire. And never…
I like the extra clearance on the Haanjo. I don’t think you can go wrong with either though.
That would be pretty cool!
Resolute will wear fast on pavement. Donnelly USH in 650bx42 would be a good option.

Don’t run a 700x23 and you’ll be fine, especially on gravel roads where you’re not leaning into corners like it’s a crit. \n \nI ran 650bx42(label, actually slightly narrower) tires on a bike with 80mm BB drop - never…
At 2015 Dirty Kanza I ran a 27.5x2.1 up front and a 700x33 cyclocross mud tire in back. Worked great. \n \nAre you trying to maintain clearance in the rear?

Thanks for this
I’ve done plenty of gravel events (DK, Anti-Epic, Odin’s Revenge, Gravel Worlds) and never had a problem with the microUSB cable popping out of my Garmin 510 - the retaining tabs on the connection work just fine. \n…
