I have 4 wheels sets that I swap around between 2 bikes. One bike with hydraulic brakes ad one with mechaical.3 different brands of hubs, 2 different brands of rotors and none of it matters. There's usually a bit of…
I actually have what appears to be that crankset, from AliExpress but under a different brand, its on a travel road bike. Mine doesn't have a power meter though. It's barely an exaggeration to say it weighs a ton. The…
Great idea. When I got a new gravel bike I turned my old one (devinci hatchet) into an all road bike. Now I ride in comfort on 32s and haven't given up any speed. I have a 4iiii power meter on it and it's great. I just…
Thanks everyone. I've ridden on it twice more and all is well. Maybe it's my aging eyes but I can't even find where it was, I'll take that as sign that it's fine.
That's what I wasn't sure about. It's funny though, I saw this one so I worried but I've taken off mountain bike tires had multiple cauliflowers inside that I never even knew about.
Part way through a very long road ride the other day I heard the tick tick tick of something in my tire (32mm GP5000), it was a big industrial type staple almost dead center through the tire. When I pulled it out the…
The only tires I've ever had a hard time seating and sealing (after the first time) are Pathfinders. My wife's 700x43 and my 700x38 tires would not reseal until I painfully removed the massive buildup on the beads. I've…
Yep, that's the stuff
What off-season? Even here in NH, where we have a real winter, I ride all year. Granted, the gravel bike sees less use in the winter and I don't ride it on snow or ice, but it does get used. It's just a matter dressing…
That's what I thought, thanks. I guess I've got some work to do.
I've got 3 sets of wheels with tires and sealant and they aren't going to be used between December and the end of March. Does it make sense to remove the tires and clean everything inside and out? Can I save and reuse…
You can use the same brakes as long as the GRX is also mechanical, I assume there's a mechanical option. New wheels should be good for 10 or 11 speed. If there is a spacer behind your 10 speed cassette then all is well.…
I base rides on time and TSS and have found that I get a lot more bang for the buck out of gravel riding than the road. I feel there's less freewheeling on gravel. Whether it's true or not, there's no doubt that before…
Rotational inertia is a big factor in acceleration but not at constant speeds. Pros go light because it takes less power to accelerate a light bike and less power to gain elevation on a light bike. The moment of inertia…
Angular momentum makes aero king. It still feels counterintuitive to say rotational mass is a non factor in a climb though.

I've got a GR270 with Ultegra di2. I'm 6 feet and got a size ML based on stack and reach and I'm really happy with the bike, my previous gravel bike was a Devinci Hatchet which felt longer and a bit slacker on the front…
