I mounted a set of 38mm Challenge Gravel Grinder clinchers: http://www.challengetech.it/products/gravel/gravel-grinder-33-38-053/en Still plenty of room. That's all I've tried.
Joe - that looks awesome. I will let you know if and when we get a group up to ride it.
Yesterday's gravel ride out near the Bald River - I confronted a rather long down hill (2100 feet over about 8 miles with just a couple of breaks in the action) that started out with a less than smooth section of about…
If I were racing cyclocross - a 1X setup may appeal to me. For rolling road rides - I'd prefer the tighter ratios afforded by a double set up in the front. From here on out - i do not see myself buying a bike without…
Finally made the trek up Citico Rd to Indian Boundary Lake in the Cherokee NF. The scenery was amazing. There was essentially no traffic. The temps were in the mid-60s. The road changes from pavement to gravel and back…

I have the Rival 22 Hydraulic group on my cross bike. It is fantastic. Other than weight - they only real downside of the group - compared to the Red or Force offerings is the crank stiffness.
That head angle sure seems more slack than the geometry chart says. It has SRAM - so right there you are better off! I was suspect of the 1x from a versatility standpoint - until I noticed that it has a 10T cog. the…
Also - 24 lbs actual weight as pictured. Again - the bike, not the wife.

Picked up one of these for the wife today. What a neat bike. Great looking. Total blast to ride. Little on the heavy side. Her Small weighs in at at little over 23 lbs.
The color's obviously not for everyone - but I bought it for the build/price point. I swapped out the Rival cross front ring set up for a Force 22 Compact set - and went with the CB Eggbeater 2 pedals: The cages are not…

Focus shipped the 2016 instead of the 2015. We went back and forth for several days now on whether or not to ship it back and have them correct the order - or to just accept the one we have - and I've opted for the…

I am curious if when you were looking at the Giant Revolt - you checked out the Anyroad models. I'm thinking of getting one of those for the wife when I sell her road bike. There's a 10 speed Tiagra version in your…

Shop wanted 8 bikes. Only got to buy 5 bikes. Three bikes showed up today. Mine was not one of them. We went ahead and built one of my friend's Mares AX 105 Disc. A rather striking bike. I took it for a spin. The seat…

Some Jeep forums that I scoured tonight indicate Williamson and Maury Counties as the place where these roads are. That's south and west of Nashville. Thompson Station area.
