The bike is brand new in an unopened box. Bike was won in a lottery recently. FELT BREED 20 SIZE 56 COLOUR: SATIN VELVET GEARING: SRAM Force 1 Hydraulic BRAKES: SRAM Force 1 Hydraulic disc WHEELS: 700C…
Where did you find the 2020 Domane 42C tire width spec, or which frame is it associated with? On their website all the SL and SLR frames seem to reference max 38C tire width. Thanks
No doubt the isospeed is great for gravel. While it may be marginal, when seated on the road the flex of the seat while we are pedaling will mean some loss in power. On gravel presumably the opposite is true in that the…
Thanks for the update and yes I was referring to the Domane pro frame mentioned in the thread. So it sounds plenty compliant for gravel but wondered if adjusting to the stiffest setting would help it perform like a…
For either the new pro version or the older 2019 model does the front or rear isospeed adjust? Can it be made stiffer for the road and more compliant for gravel? I suppose different seatposts and wheels would help with…
FYI, some a late season ride added Sep. 28 on Southern Vancouver Island Shawnigan Lake, BC Sep. 28, 2019 https://www.burntbridgeclassic.com/ Also, a ride club has added a gravel group ride.. Sep. 8, 2019…
but now shimano just fixed all these issues with GRX, no?
A few rides added in Oregon and Washington. Seems like the spring calendar is quite busy but summer and fall significantly less so.

I have a checkpoint sl5 56cm frame purchased when they first came out a year ago in March 2018. I think it is a 2019 model. I have the rear wheel fully forward for the shortest wheelbase and currently running wtb…
Thanks for the update on the facebook group. Re the hill climb mentions, I included those as a personal preference which is in keeping with the theme of rides with a continuous high level of effort which is similar to…
Given that there is no one list for races/rides and seems to involve some research to uncover, here are the potential 2019 Pacific NW races I have found. I have also included road hill climbs. If anyone has suggested…
There is a summer race in Denmark with a good format... http://xn--hansenscykellb-2qb.com/
I think the consistent theme is that their is demand for either larger cogs or smaller front chainrings on 2x road type setups, which are easily accommodated by shifters, front and rear derailleurs and cranks. At the…
Certainly a lot of different views on the gearing challenges, but I think there is a universal issue that despite the gravel bikes being able to run on challenging steep terrain, the standard road gearing they are…

I have now completed and tested installing an 11-40 Shimano 11 speed cassette on a Trek Checkpoint SL5. Initially, I modified the Shimano 105 rear derailleur with a longer cage (a deore long cage), however even with…
