Hey gang, thanks for all the replies. I got distracted - just bought a new Huskie 701 LR motorcycle. My bike came with Shimano 105 components 2x11. 50/34 front and I now have a 11-36 rear cassette courtesy of a Wolf…
Howdy, Been awhile since I've been on this forum. Anyway, my Jamis Renegade came as a 2X11. The front derailleur has always been fiddly - when on the small ring, I could only use the 5 or 6 bigger cogs before the chain…
Bozeman - even if you can't ride the event, the route is posted and with some modification, it is fun http://www.morganzo55.com/the-route/ It weaves around a little more than necessary to get to 55 miles. I'm not studly…
I've been using a Garmin inReach since it was available 5 or so years ago. I had the original Spot before that. The inReach allows back and forth texting via satellite which can be a huge advantage. For instance, if she…
The Eastons EA70AX are 23mm internal width. I bought a pair and put them on my gravel bike and they did what I was hoping for. Here's my write up:…

I ride both mountain bikes and dirt bikes (i.e. motorcycles) besides my gravel bike. Half the year in the desert which means sand. Which is kind of like gravel in that the bike will drift back and forth. I think the…
Well, getting those wheels proved to be a little more complicated that I thought it was going to be. It turns out JensonUSA sent me a really weird size rear wheel - I measured it as best I could with a tape measure and…
Howdy gang, I've been looking to get some bigger inner diameter wheels for a while now. I was interested in the Clement Ushuaia wheels with a 23mm ID. They got write ups in many sources but trying to find any for sale -…
Here's a gravel 'race' not too far from you. I rode it 2 years ago and hope to make it this summer. Don't worry - you won't be last. That's my place http://www.morganzo55.com/
Even though the video is about an mtb rim, it is carbon and Danny Macaskill rides one to destruction. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfjjiHGuHoc Highly entertaining and at least demonstrates how tough high end carbon…
Just happened on the thread. I live half the year in West Yellowstone. Bozeman is not what I'd call uncrowded. It's spreading toward Belgrade and Four Corners, lots of suburban sprawl. But the surrounding mountains are…
Hmmmm, maybe this is why Clement is not selling these yet. http://www.konaworld.com/super_jake.cfm The new bike spec's show Clement Ushuaia wheels. Maybe Kona got all the new wheels. Another new Kona is spec'ed with…
I emailed Mercury about the warranty and this is the response: Mike Byrd (Mercury Wheels) Jul 31, 09:54 MDT generally, a small rock impact wont damage the wheel. but carbon can, and does break, as you have experienced…
I use one of the Park Tool chain cleaner things that come apart and clip over the chain. I use Simple Green or similar degreaser in it. Run the chain in that for a bit, then use a brush and more cleaner on the cogs and…

So, has anyone seen these wheels for sale yet since it is now past the expected June release?
Sounds just like what I'm looking for and at a good price. Thanks for the heads up. I've been eyeing the HED Ardennes Plus from Jensons for $700. These are comparable and a little wider which I think I'd like to try. I…
38 mm rims with a 17mm inner rim width. Is that a typo?
My Jamis Renegade came with 19mm internal width rims. I'm running 40mm Maxxis Ramblers. I weigh 185 lbs. I tried going down to to 30 front and 35 rear. That was too low as the bike kind of wallowed. I'm currently using…
