Been riding the Byways for quite a while ~1500 miles, and they seem to have double that in life left. I used them for commuting in Colorado, and have since started using them for more aggressive gravel up in Montana. I…
Don't mean to rain on your post, but you can get brand new ones for $45/ea.…
Hey Sander, I'm not sure exactly on the need for any programming, but I assume its all in the e-tube software. My buddy is running either a 42 or a 44 up front, with the XTR 11-42 rear cassette. He's loving the 1x setup…
Di2 Dura-Ace and Ultegra will work with an XT/XTR rear derailleur, as long as there is not front derailleur. I like 2x so I haven't done this, but my buddy has his bike set up with with the component mix you're asking…
After 34 years of Colorado living, I'll be picking up and moving in the next month or so. I know almost nothing of the area, so would love to meet up with some folks and have you show me the way. It looks like there are…
I voted for other, as the Moots Baxter was purpose built for the Continental Divide trail. It also addresses any concerns with gearing, since you can run road or mountain. You still get a titanium frame, sizing can be…
I had a very similar issue happen to my Di2. Mine would completely drain the battery, and left me in one gear several times, that was after putting maybe 200 miles on a fresh charge. I swapped the battery, same thing,…

I was following this thread, as I have a similar situation, but my second location has me up in Maine. I called some local (Maine) shops today, and it looks like the Salsa Journeyman is sold out, at their warehouse,…
I don't think you're being too ambitious. This is about the same thing I was going for, except I wasn't as concerned with the chainstay length, as I ended up with 45cm stays. I've not heard of Walty bikes, but they look…
This looks like a pretty fun ride, think I'm gonna give it a go, might be a little messy with the snow we're getting today, also decently cheap, price of a hat, a beer and some fries is probably $20-25 of the $30 price…
I've ridden a few gravel tires over the last year (since I got a dedicated gravel bike), most in the 700c size, so the 650b sizing may be slightly different. The GK's were good on gravel, but slightly slow on the…

This discussion is over in the components area, this thread should be moved as well.
I've been told by many shops that the Ultegra rear derailleur can only handle an 11-32 without the roadlink being used. I almost picked up the 11-34, but was told it might have issues, as the Ultegra 8000 mid-cage was…
This is somewhat expected in the event of a crash, I wouldn't be too intimidated by fixing the issue, unless the steerer or stem (or both) are carbon and you don't have a torq wrench. If its carbon and you have a torq…

This is the rack I'm using on my Moots with 142x12 and hydraulic brakes: http://thetouringstore.com/thetouringstore/tubus-bicycle-racks-for-touring-and-commuting/tubus-airy-titanium-rear-rack/ Works great, weights…
Thanks for sharing, adding a photo is pretty simple, I've attached a screenshot showing where that is: Would like to see how it looks on the Crux, as my dad is trying to go wider on his. Cheers!
I've been riding some Gore Bike Wear pants for 7 or so years, they've lasted and they work. The only annoying thing, the storage pocket zipper can cause some discomfort if using a large backpack, but other than that,…
