It is a good bike for gravel. I know, as I have about 3,500 miles on my Giant TCX. Have really enjoyed it on the gravel. With that said, though, I know exactly where the lower BB drop crowd is coming from, as I have…
As far as I can tell they are.
Thanks Bobknh. It was a hard choice between the two for me. I looked closely at the 650B version at LR100. In fact, that is the version that my son would have chosen. It definitely would be more cushion, and probably…
Picked-up my new bike, yesterday. I got the 700c Sora Journeyman. Was able to get in a 36 mile ride. Took it though several different gravel conditions from big, chunky, rocky sections to loose and deep, freshly graded.…
Yes, sir, LR was a blast. It was the first time I had attended. I drove 2 and half hours just to be a spectator. I had two of my grown sons there, as well, and we all had a GREAT time! What a fantastic event. Going to…
My son and I went to Land Run 100, as spectators, last Saturday, and I got to check this bike out up front and personal at District Bicycle's Shop. Was really impressed with features for the price! Came back home, and…
Here is my son Michael, and I, out riding our favorite gravel with our awesome, new, Ridinggravel.com Jerseys: Having a blast on the gravel in Oklahoma with our new jerseys. Show off your new kit!
Welcome to the road less traveled, PastorJoe! That is a good looking bike, and your pictures are excellent--thanks for posting. Don't be surprised if you find yourself riding more and more gravel.
For the last two winters, have used the 45nrth Fasterkatts. Have found that these are good down to 25 deg. F., just like they are rated. Have used them in the teens with the chemical toe warmers. My commute takes…
Glad you figured it out bobknh. It won't be long, and you will be an expert on the 1000. Have had mine for about a year, or so, and love it. The map feature is great, and use it when exploring. Some don't like the large…
Those are great pictures! Thank you for posting them. Very beautiful scenery and must be a blast to ride! Glad to see someone else running fenders on their gravel bike. I leave mine on year-round. Do a lot of gravel…
Great write-up, and enjoyed the pictures! Sure looks like a good choice for the riding you do.
That's a nice looking rig, Laeljon. Am running two Cygolite Expilion 850's on a topeak bar extender that is mounted to my stem. They throw-out plenty of light and I carry a spare battery for them, but have never had to…
Just wanted to start a new thread on Winter commuting by gravel bike. This is my first year in giving it a try. I have had a blast! It is challenging, but rewarding. Learning how to find the right combinations of…
Congratulations on the new gravel bike! I know you put a lot of research into choosing the right one for you. Have fun tearing-up that gravel on your new ride!
Definitely had to bend them myself. The fender stays were straight from the SKS kit. Hard to see in the picture, but I had to add a stainless steel spacer, and used a longer stainless steel bolt, as well. Came out…
Lots of gravel road choices in my commute. It is just a little over 16 miles, one way. Have really enjoyed hitting the gravel after work on the way home! This is my gravel rig/commuter. It is a 2014 Giant Revolt 1. It…
You are welcome, RoverAI. Oklahoma sure does have some great gravel roads. I like the looks of the Kona bikes, as well. We are just now, finally, drying out enough to hit the gravel hard, once again. Hope you enjoy that…
Got my Revolt 1, first part of last year. I love it. It is my daily rider. Got it as my first "gravel bike," but have found that I am using it as my commuter rig. It's relaxed geometry and low bottom bracket height make…
