The other thing to learn is that you need a set of readers in your wallet or spare bag. I had a similar issue, but I could not see the cut well enough to plug. I keep a set of thin optics readers in my cycling wallet.…

Challenge Getaway Pro tires. Hard to mount because they just lay flat. Ride quality is great, but the tread quickly separates from the casing. They also puncture very easily- Leading back to the issue of the tire laying…
With a gravel bike, braking power is usually not your limiter. You usually run up against the limit of traction or ability to handle bumps before braking gets you.
I keep waiting for Trek to introduce a full suspension gravel version of the Supercaliber. That suspension platform works great, the bike looks pretty normal too. Paired with a gravel fork it would be a winner for those…
Hi, Yes, I do still have it. Sent you a PM. Cheers, John

I never mentioned weight. For me carbon wheels have proven to be 100% reliable. I have never damaged one in a crash, they don't dent, and the wheels stay together. I had way more issues with aluminum rims.
At this point I don't own any rims that are not carbon. Road, gravel and mtb. All wheels are disc and tubeless- carbon rims are proven for this. Many different options, but like the header says- you can get good rims…
Hi, You contacted me about the FSA K-King AGX 42cm bars. Contact me directly at cafehunt@hotmail.com and we can get this going. Cheers, John
I am currently riding a smaller sized bar- But I did like them.
I have a set of these in 42cm if anyone needs a set. I am not using them.
I haven't used a tube in years (other than flats) and don't plan to. But if you already have the tires...
What rims are you using? Internal width? Hook or hookless? What you you weigh? What pressure do you desire to run? What is the terrain and gravel/road split of where you ride What is you riding style? Avoid stuff? Or…
I have had Getaway Pro tires. They are fast and ride quality is quite nice. But the are VERY fragile. Tread and casing cuts very easily. Other issue is that when they lose air the tire itself flattens out, making it…
Beyond tire size, you should be asking yourself other questions. 1.) What are your fit needs? Tall from end or low? Long toptube or short? Do you need a slack seat angle for position? 2.) How do you like a bike to…
I 2nd that you should look at brands like Light-Bicycle and Farsports. Products are high quality.
In a bike design for you, you are always going to be struggling with toptube length, vs. front center. I suggest a design with about a 71 degree head angle and a longer rake fork like a Seven Matador. You would benefit…
2nd try- I forgot to change bb height to 70mm
Ok- I mocked this up to the best possible with the info provided. I think that the Spooky may actually have shorter front center than listed. I also think that this bike is too big for you (toptube length and stem…
