Zman All three sets of my Tufo’s came from bikeinn.com. Mine shipped from the Netherlands and made it to me on the East coast in one to two weeks. If they come through customs in Miami, it’s faster than New York. Can’t…
I've been running the Thunderoo (thanks John Z and Volsung) 44's on the Spinergy GXX wheels most of the time since I did this initial post. I'm a big guy, 6'1" 225 and run 37 psi in the front tire and 40 psi on the back…

Aftering seeing little info about these tires, I wanted to put some data out there so others who might be considering these could see what they look like. I bought a set of the Thundero 44 mm and the Speedero 40 mm both…

Indeed it is incredibly fun to ride. I really like the eThirteen cassette. It’s about 50 grams heavier than the X01, but I prefer odd number gears 9,11,13,15 etc to evens since every other bike I own has odds. Whatever…
I agree with the others about the AXS choice. Our gravel tandem has Red AXS levers and an X01 Eagle 12s rear derailleur with a 38t front and an e13 9-50 cassette. No need for a road or goat link with the AXS eagle rear…
The GRX front derailleur has a 2.5 mm further reach than any other Shimano series derailleur, specifically designed to work with GRX cranks. Unless they spaced the crankset on the drive side out that far, it's going rub.
I agree with Slim and hope they soon release a set of Rival or Apex electronic shifters. I also agree with TimH, electronic is set it and forget it. I don't understand why they don't release a gravel package with…

As Sherwin24 said, the likelihood of a complete group set is a long way off. Piecing one together is probably the fastest option. Also, keep in mind that all Shimano GRX 800-level components and 11-speed GRX 600-level…
Anyone riding these rims/wheels or have any thoughts on these? Seem like a good match for gravel and connecting pavement with a 25mm internal width and 38 depth.
That's a good looking wheelset. Enjoy!
They are pretty loud, not I9 or White Industries loud, but not far off.
I own the CCCs and they are great wheels. My pair of 700c weighed 1515 with the tape but no valve stems. They set up tubeless very easily and give the 40 mm Ramblers a great profile and width of 42. Most articles or…

I understand the all day trip and am also not really a fan of the hot pink. Either bike is going to be a great long term ride. Unfortunately, I don't think Shimano's supply chain was prepared for the demand of GRX to…
One advantage you have with the Warbird is you can ride it to see if you like it. Parts can always be upgraded at a later time. Compare the geometries and see what you think.
I highly recommend the Redshift stem and double wrapping the bars behind the hoods. Experiment with different elastomers in the stem to dial the "flex" to your liking. Also, you may try rotating the handlebars up or…
