I had enjoyed my Cutthroat for two years now. I'm finding out that my MTB and CX are quickly gathering more and more dust. I ride them maybe twice a year. Since I hit the big 6-0, I steer away from massive MTB days or…
I invested in a Sella Anatomica in December and for me, it has been one of the best upgrades ever, comfort wise. It took a little fiddling to get it in the correct position, but it pretty much disappears during my…
Mine did the same thing. It was like they dissolved. I saw that some others simple switched over the matching Shimano pads and I haven't had a problem since, less squealing too.
I missed last year's event, but the years before I did attend and I thought it was one of the best productions I've ever ridden in. The pre-events, the day before ride, the packet pickup were all fun. When is packet…
Thanks for posting. I only found out about the ride a week beforehand. Not enough time to clear up my schedule. Looks a great reason to make the trip from SoCal.

A chain is 66 feet or 22 yards. 80 chains equals a mile. Had to look it up. College Surveying class was a looooong time ago. So, the summit is around 290 ft.
Another satisfied Resolute customer. I went through three sets of Ramblers with only one complaint. Lots of sidewall weeping well before the tread was gone. To their credit, I never had a flat and even with the ugly…
Much of the North Rim is not in the GCNP but is Kaibab National Forest. Lots of typical fire roads all over the place. The trail that is relatively easy to access is the Rainbow Rim Trail. I think it is about 21 miles…
I think that a lot of the "Golden Rules" are getting bent to fit our aging bodies. I fit a large Santa Cruz mountain bike perfectly but was sized as a M/L for my Giant TCX. With my questionable back I never got…
I'm not familiar with your specific GPS but I have had a similar occurrence with older GPS units back when I was hiking more. Basically, when I exceeded some random travel distance and turned on my GPS it would be…
Two great answers. I love my TCX with 40mm Ramblers. I ride it mostly on mild MTB trails and a few dirt & rock fire roads. I ride in races, but do not race. For me, it is a great do-all bike and I like the challenge of…

OTHRider what the world is weeping? Just a local term to describe how the sealant will eventually weep, leak, pass thru the tire and form little wet spots. I doesn't happen with every tire or every brand of sealant but…
Copied from another site - I also had the wet spots when using both Stans and Orange Seal with certain tires. The Racing Ralph 2.35 that I ran on the front for an entire year was one big wet spot when it wore out. It…
This is a popular topic on a mountain bike forum that I belong to. Basically, there is a sealant that will eventually work in almost every tire/rim combo and it's up to you to figure it out. Old formula Stans was famous…
For two years I rode with a "gas tank" bag on at all times to carry odds and ends. The only thing I didn't like was that I was unable to find a way to secure it. Every ride it would flop over. I gave myself a Rogue…
My $.02: Have ridden Ramblers tubeless. Good all-around gravel tire. No direct experience with Stiela Comp Same here. I'm on my 3rd set of Ramblers and really like them for my more desert-like trails. Still no flats on…
