I converted my Jamis Renegade Exploit from a Shimano 105 2X11 to a 1X11 with the Easton EC90 SL crankset with the powermeter spindle. Yes, cost is a definite issue, but I'm so happy I did this. I have both a 44 and a 40…
This is one of my favorite rides in my stable!

"IMO it does look like Expoit(steel frame) not Expert(carbon one). Probably explains the difficulties to get her under 20lbs." Yes, she's an Exploit steel. It's funny when I go from my sub 16lb "snappy" carbon rocket…
The ride is significantly improved, definitely less harsh. Being able to ride on 40mm tubeless at 35 psi helps. The bike is especially sweet on the pavement as well. I do also use pair of Reynolds ATR carbon hoops that…
I have a 2016 Jamis Exploit that I have heavily modified. Easton EC90SL 1X11 DI2 XTR, Easton Carbon bars and stem, and some custom HEDC2+ Hope Hubs wheelset. I love this bike, I have her down to 22lbs with cages and…
I run Schwalbe Pro One 28's on my 2016 SLR01. They're great on hard pack and even some small chunky stuff but I haven't had them on clay like peanut butter. my guess is they would suck I've done a few 120+ mile races on…

I went from a cutom pair of HEDC2+ rims with Hope 2 hubs with sapin spokes (disc) on my steel Renegade. My local bike shop asked my to be an ambassador for Reynolds and that gave an incredible discount on a pair of…

I have the Jamis Renegade Expert and I can tell you there is no way you can get her to under 20lbs! Mine weighs in at 22 on the dot with a ton of mods. 1X11 EC90SL crankset, XTR DI2 rear derailleur, Easton EC 70 Carbon…
I ran them tubeless for about 1K without any issue. My shop mounted them and used Gorilla tape I believe on the rim? Anyways, they were an awesome tire but I like the Vittoria Terreno better.
As the threat of rain was impending on the Dirty Kanza, I asked my shop to order a set of Terreno Mixed in the 40 width. Unfortunately all they shipped was the wet Terreno. Well we mounted them dry and the first time I…
I have about 250 miles on my Easton EC70 AX and I love them. I went from a similar flared Ritchy aluminum bar. I changed too many things like wheels, tires, drivetrain to notice a particular difference in them but she…
Easton / Raceface 44T EC90SL crankset and Shimano XTR DI2 rear with 11/40 cassette.
I just transferred my Jamis Exploit 2X11 compact (11-32 rear) to an 1X11 with a 44T front easton EC90SL and an XTR 40 tooth rear. We have some super steep hills here in Oklahoma. I did a 40 miler today with about 3K of…
