Anyone riding the Bearclaw Thunderhawk or Beaux Jaxon that can share their experience?
I have the booster Pro's too. I actually went to school with the chemist who created the rubber compound for those tires. The Booster's roll fast, but as a fairly knotty tore they are not nearly as fast as the…
I would completely disagree with you. They roll faster than the GK's and much faster than my WTB's.

The Kenda Flintridge Pro, for me, is better than the GravelKing SK. Zero flats, low rolling resistance and has handled everything I've thrown at it, including mud. I've been impressed.
6'4", 290 I've ridden Sell Italia, WTB, Brooks, Fizik, Specialized, and Koobi. What I've learned is that gel saddles will break down, especially with your increased weight and will not support you correctly for very…
Specialized makes "bar phat" gel pads that go under the bar tape, but they don't do anything for padding the drops like gloves do. I just got gloves from Aerotech out of Pittsburgh. USA made, won't break your wallet,…
I didn't need a new spoke. The bolt was still inside the rim. It was reattached and the wheel re tensioned by my local bike shop with no issues. I don't have a tensioner tool which is why I went to the LBS.
I picked up a pair of Spinergy GX gravel wheels this past March. I wanted something light and durable. At 6'4, 320 lbs, these wheels would be stressed to say the least. I've logged over 1200 miles and recently one of…
I have a set of Spinergy's that are light and very strong. You can get a set for about 600 (front and rear). I also have a set of Velocity Chukker's with White Industry hubs. I use the Velocity wheels for class 3 & 4…
Yep - can't type today!
Looking to add a CF bike to the n+1 collection and would be interested in knowing if any group members have or have had either of these.
I have a pair of Spinergy GX wheels too. They are much lighter at 1475 g than my Velocity Chukkers with White Industries hubs (2655 g). At 6'4", 320 Lbs, I tend to exude a lot of force in ways that would be non-issues…
Parlee Chebacco on the coast of Connecticut!
I ride Koobi saddles that are leather. They are perfect for me.

I've been riding Koobi saddles for years on both my road bike, mountain bike and now the gravel bike.
I had the same issue when looking for a gravel bike. I'm 6'4, 325 so finding a frame and wheelset worthy of riding were essential. Co-motion (steel), All City (steel), Surly (steel), Bearclaw (Ti), Seven (Ti), and…
I just upgraded from my 20 year old Specialized saddle bag to a Speedsleeve Ranger. It's far more compact, no zippers, easy on and off the bike and I'm impressed with it so far.…
After test riding several different brands, I'd suggest the following: 1) Parlee Chebacco (Carbon Fiber). This is the best bike I've ridden and the one I recently purchased. 2) Bearclaw Beau Jaxon (Titanium) is a VERY…
