I am getting a Rival 22 rear der, front der, 50/34 chainring combo, and a Rival22 left shifter. My bike is going from 1x to 2x for better gearing in the mountains of Colorado.
Still have these bikes. Shipping at $2100 in the lower 48. Must pay CO tax if staying in the state. Come with a full warranty. The 2018 models are demos that have been out just a time or two each, easily would pass as…
I have a full SRAM Rival 1 build I will sell you. Just over a year old, low mileage. Rival 1 Right shifter Rival 1 Left brake only lever Rival 1 rear der 42 & 44T 110bcd chainrings Just checking what they have sold for…
I make the 650c blunder often. I equate 650b as small mountain, 650c as "small road". Yes, 650 road uses the same rim size as 650 mountain. It is something I stumble around on all the time. I guess I should be even more…
I will put my very unpopular opinion here: My backstory - I am 6'2'' and 150lbs on a heavy day. I think 700x40 is a total pig of a tire size. Slower than 700x35 on pavement by a big margin, not much better in the soft…

Based on what I saw helping with the Cherry Grove aid station this year, here are my findings of how to prep for Almanzo 100: 20 minute intervals - these should be at the to of your HR range of what is sustainable.…
A Shimano road brake cable set will not work. It will not have enough outer housing - also not sure if front brake inner cable was long enough. Also, you should use compressionless housing for your disc brakes - the…
But Canyon is in the TDF. It carries a different quality standard that is (possibly improperly) associated with the brand. That's my two cents.
There was a question by Cyclecoashashland about tubeless tires in this size. I answered here to follow the new format of the tire forum.
Tiagra 4700 is it's very own thing. The 4700 shifter and rear der only work together. They are not cross compatible with other pieces of 10 speed. The trick of running 9 speed XT with 10 speed road shifters only works…
A popular option for not taking up too much room on your handlebars, plus getting the aerobars into a much higher position is to use a Siren FredBar. The idea is this is only another hand position, and not necessarily…
My take from working at the last shop: Praxis or Sugino. We set a customer up with White Industries, used the ring combo they recommended for the sub compact setup. It shifted so terribly he brought in a few times, took…
What I have found to be the most beneficial is a pair of shorts that fits REALLY well. My big problem has always been finding a big with long enough straps. I am 6'2'', 150 lbs. A lot of smalls fit great in the legs,…
Hey everyone, I just got the newest round of stickers posted to the store. They are in stock and ready to ship: http://ridinggravel.bigcartel.com/category/stickers Thanks, Matt
Funny enough, the Ben 1/2 of Riding Gravel is based in Hayward. So you will be neighbors with Riding Gravel and Mountain Bike Radio. I am up here now, tons of great stuff but I haven't found a ton of time to get out and…
I have never owned them, but a few of my coworkers at the bike shop ran them. They often would install with a tube, remove only one bead to remove the tube, and then do the tubeless setup with one bead already locked in…
Just checked out the photos on QBP - it looks like you are going to get frame/fork/thru axles for both/integrated seatpost collar & one would assume a headset, as it it inset. (also my experience with other QBP branded…
Sounds you know what you want, buy nice or buy twice.
