Just for piece of mind I carry a Turbolito tube on my mtb and gravel bikes although I also have serious doubts about being able to remove the tire in the field. The sealant sticks to the rim and makes it impossible to…
I'd buy the HEDs with the WI CLDs although I'm biased since that's the wheelset I run. DT Swiss is nice but they're not HED and White Industries nice.
I've had issues with getting a good seal around the valve stem many times. And this was with wheelsets where the hole was centered. Some solutions that have worked for me are threadseal tape, a little square of old…
I had a similar dilemma and couple years ago and went with 650b and 47mm tires. I have no regrets. It's a dedicated gravel rig and the wider tires make for a plusher ride and better control. And I'm still pretty damn…
The fact that you can demo that Niner is nice. Try and see what you think. Tire capacity is a big consideration though. If this is going to be a dedicated gravel rig then bigger is better. It doesn't really matter what…
I'm running 650b Eroica's with White Industries hubs and they're quite nice.
Not even a debate, you definitely want a second cassette. Most cassettes are fairly inexpensive and the convenience far outweighs the cost.
Absolutely. Are you wanting specific names?
Thanks guys, you confirmed what I came up with from a Google search. The consensus seems to be don't worry about it.
How often do you remove the old sealant from your tires? And how often (if ever) do you replace the rim tape? I'm running WTB Byways on my Felt Breed and they've been on there for a little over a year. So far all I've…
Yeah that top bottle mount isn't usable for a water bottle. I did the same thing you did and use it for storage.
I got one about a year ago and it's been great. Mine's still all stock except for the bar tape. It's incredibly versatile but I mainly use it off road. I've had it in some very rough stuff but those 47 Byways make for a…
I've been using the 47c WTB Byways at 25 psi for about a year and have used them on just about every surface and have been super impressed with how plush yet durable they are. I don't plan to change it up.
I gave my new Felt Breed 30 a shakedown ride yesterday and in a word - fun! I went with the Breed 30 instead of the 20 because I wanted a double crank, I trust and know Shimano 105, and $2000 was what I wanted to spend.…
The pictures work now. I love what you did with it. You've really multi-purposed this bike. I checked one out in the shop the other day and now I have to have it. Mine will be mostly a straight gravel rig. I plan to use…
Sounds great but for some reason I can't see the photos.
I don’t have experience with the Breed model but I have experience with Felt bikes. I had an alloy Felt road bike and it was fantastic. I’m in the market for a gravel bike, I like the Felt brand and my LBS carries them…
