I have GravelKing 35s and GravelKing Plus 35s. On my 19mm rims, the non-plus went to 37.5mm, the plus went to 36mm. The plus are visibly smaller than the non-plus (if you're into staring at tires).
Pro Discover has a 65mm reach with 12 degrees of flare, and ergo/flat top sections. It's a nice bar that has a nice feel on the ends of the drops. I got a set of 44s to try but ended up sticking with my Eastons - so let…
I was in your place a few months back, and after looking at different options picked up the last Norco Section A1 in my size. I like mid-priced alloy (other bikes are Felt Breed, Specialized Allez) and this one sits…
Sold.
If you are building a custom frame, can you have it made for full-length housing?The most recent shimano front derailleurs include a housing stop, so you'll be fully protected up to the derailleur this way.
I'm using traditional cotton Tressostar tape as a first layer. It's very thin and adheres well to the bar, but give it just enough extra girth and cushioning to make a big difference. I will do this underneath cable…
Knolly have released a steel version of the Cache! https://www.knollybikes.com/steelcache I asked and they said it should be available in late September, and I am really, really excited about this. Currently mulling the…
Does anyone have this bike or have seen/ridden it? it looks really good to me with the short stays (dropped driveside), relatively slack HTA, decently long front center and clearance for 650b x 60. I am looking for a…
I am selling my Salsa Warbird 105 that I've only had for a few months. It's a great bike for gravel riding and racing and has worked very well, I just need to go in a different direction. It is in great shape and aside…
3-10s power and lap average power are my favorites (plus lap time) - and I use the lap key whenever something happens that changes the pace - start/end interval, hit a hill, group ride gets to an ON section, etc. if you…
I am also curious about these and I plan to try them at some point. Currently running Donnelly USH 650b x 50 on DT X432 25mm internal rim on my Warbird. They measure out to 51mm (so I assume MSO would be same). Really…

Hey, what is wrong with tanks? I ride the Rove ST, it is a super tank! One frame that I find intriguing is the Rondo Ruut ST: http://rondo.cc/ruut-st,66,pl . Not sure of the weight and ride feel of this frame, but the…

Count me in as well! Signed up for the 20% off registration code and booked a hotel too. It looks like the Black (141 mile) course will be the main event so will go for this. I live in Boulder so just a few hours away.
I also ride a Rove ST and like the geometry and ride quite a bit. I test rode the NRB DL and it was great, snappier than the Steel model but maybe a bit stiffer, and I had to keep my steel allegiance. Couple questions:…

I have some potential info on the headtube length for the Open: in 2019, it is going UP! I stopped by my Open dealer today and see if they had a Large for me to demo. Unfortunately they only had a Small and Medium, and…
