Good to hear some comments about the new route, I wasnt able to make it out there last weekend. I've done the 100 miler the last 2 years, both with 6 hr finish times. A long ride that early in the year is always…
I run a 36x17 on a flat bar 29er mtb with an eccentric BB. I have won 100 mile SS class gravel races with this ratio. 36 is the largest i can fit up front. Seems very spinny but you need to choose where to put forth…
Ive recently switched 3 bikes over to Berryman's Tire Seal R 6 months ago. Sealant works great, it was only 30 bucks for a gallon at TSC and when I unseated a tire last weekend, none of the fluid was dried up. I have…
what did you end up using for tires? I did the 100 miler in just under 6 hours. Using kenda flintridge pro 40c tires. Made one mistake though, I had a 1x11 setup. With a 46t in the front and 11-42 rear. Definitely need…
I did the 100 miler last year on kenda flintridge pros 40mm in 6 hours. I would sacrifice some watts to have the wider tires in the unmaintained sections and extra cushion when that blind pothole the guy your drafting…
After posting this, I did some research and landed on a Power2Max NG eco model. It is spider based and works with my SRAM force 1x crankset. Great pricepoint at $490 compared to others. I have a 46t x 11-42 11 speed…

I had a wheelset built by Merlin cycles with Pro 4 Hope hubs for my RLT Niner. They were laced to Alpha 400 Stans wheels with double butted DT Swiss spokes. I believe i got the wheels for somewhere around 450 bucks. The…
Yea, only thing that bothers me is about Sancho is it being a week before Lumberjack, which i plan on doing single speed this year to check that one off the list. Would definitely be good prep but is awful close to…
Ive got a pair of maxxis maxxlites on a 29er. Theyre the 2.0" ones. They roll VERY fast but ive only had them on gravel. They are the lightest 29er tires ive ever held. Not sure of durability. They also look like they…
im a dumbass. i see it says its compatible with a cx1 crankset....anyways...does it easily pair with your computer? do you use any virtual trainers synced with the power2max? looks like a nice unit

Check into the Hard Times trailhead in Asheville. Lots of good gravel routes around the mountain bike trail sections. I stopped by there on my way down to Florida a few years back. I do not recommend going down greens…
I have a gravel bike setup 1x11 with a SRAM force 1 46t up front. BB30 interface. This crank is like new, so im not looking to toss it and completely replace it. What is my best option to get a power meter that is…

Yes, sounds like Carbonda may be more reputable. Whenever I come across a china (whatever brand) carbon bike frame thread on the forums I like to share my story. I was in contact multiple times with the seller to give…
Just wanted to tell a little story for everyone that is interested in the chinese carbon fiber builds since they are so attractively cheap. Last winter i had a bunch of extra parts, brakes, stems, bars, chain rings, a…
BRX 100, I did it last year. Good solid ride coming in at 6 hours. Signed up for it again so i can try to get another mug and because its just so damn fun Hellkaat 100- did the 50 miler back in 2014 or 2015 cant…
I have 2 Endura windchill jackets i rotate. They hold up really well, block wind great. I can wear a dry fit t-shirt underneath and ride in 10-30 degree weather with a decent wind no problem. They have survived the…
