I'm starting this thread for first time Dirty Kanza racers with questions and for seasoned veterans with wisdom the share. Given the forecast, my advice is to hydrate. See you in Emporia.
The Ultegra RX rear derailleur is very real and officially released. We've updated our article with more details and pricing.…
One thing I'll add is that you should consider the retention mechanism. Many people experience swelling of their feet during endurance events. If you have lace-up shoes you're out of luck for easy on-the-bike…
I'll chime in with my thoughts since I was the co-author of this review. First off, 3 out of 5 stars is not a negative review. It's a good tire for certain conditions, which we discussed in the review. Is it a category…

Zman, Here's how I kept the bottles in place.
I had zero troubles with premature ejection. I replaced the stock Profile Designs cages (which were very crappy) with Specialized cages. I field tested this set-up on singletrack to ensure I wouldn't have any issues. To…

Now that registration has closed, it's time to start thinking about fitness, nutrition and bike set-ups. Let's see some DK200 2016 race rigs.

FlashBazbo, I doubt it will be as heinous as some of the rain-soaked Trans Iowas have been. There's a lot of rock on those Kansas roads and many — but probably not all — will drain very well. Also, the course is now…

In case you missed it, Salsa rolled out a redesigned Warbird in carbon and aluminum over the weekend at Frostbike. Warbird Carbon Warbird 105 (aluminum) Warbird Tiagra (aluminum)
