Like most everyone else here, I prefer mtb shoes (SPD cleats in particular) for all my riding, not just gravel, so power meters are a frustrating subject. Clearly the perfect solution, at least for SPD riders, is an…
Nashua NH is about the same distance from RMR as Manchester, so you could look there too. Google maps is useful for this purpose. A wide range of options in both locations.

Ask and ye shall receive...the many moods of my Seven Evergreen. 2 weeks old, late winter 2017. On a short bikepacking trip, fall 2017. Visiting a favorite photo op on my local roads.
A nice ride indeed. Thanks for leading Bob and Doria, and good riding with you Harvey. Some beautiful views and interesting riding out there. Here's a sample: And here's the link to my full flickr album from the ride:…
Hi Bob, I'm up for this. Looking forward to it. Thanks, Kevin Nashua, NH

Wolftooth Tanpan allows using mtb rear mechs with integrated shifters. I've got nearly 6000 miles on mine and am very satisfied with it. I'm running and 44x30 crank, 11-40 11 speed with Shimano 105 11-speed brifters.…
I have a 2016 Salsa Fargo Sus (suspension fork) in XS I thinking about selling. PM me if interested.
I know the OP was asking about options for a particular crank, but for those interested in custom chainrings combinations and aren't committed to a crank yet, take a look at White Industries cranks. Very innovative with…
I suffer from the same problem, so I'll be interested in other responses. My new current favorite bib shorts are from Castelli with their Progetto X2 Air seat pad. It has lessened, but not eliminated the problem. I…

I'm with bobknh, in that I use my 44x30 and 11-40 11-spd as a 2 x 1x system. The wide range cassette means I don't shift the front very often and while I stay in the bigger ring most of the time, I've got super low…
I've been riding on Stans Notubes rims tubeless exclusively for well over a year. Arch Ex with Panaracer Gravel King SK (40mm) and Grail with Schwalbe Pro One 23c (measures out at 25) for summer riding (75psi) and…
