Thanks for the input. I'll admit, I'm not a fan of the name either. The event organizers feel the race is going to be harder than Unbound due to the amount of climbing. Having never ridden Unbound (or DK) of any length…

Gravelachia is one of the most beautiful yet demanding gravel courses around. Beginning in the charming mountain town of Norton, Va, these courses will take you up the Categorty 2 climb High Knob Mountain and into the…
I've been using the Pacenti Forza rims a few months now. So far they seem great, tubeless setup with WTB Riddlers was easy. Lacing them up was simple and uneventful.
My wife and I wanted to get out for a ride this weekend but with the holiday party season upon us, we were on a little time schedule. I had been eyeing a 45 mile route along the Clinch River near Clinchport, VA but…
I have 2 sets of wheels for my gravel bike. Since I have rim brakes, I wanted to keep my rim widths the same for ease of swapping. I laced up one set to the DT 240 hubs I already had and another to Bitex RAF12 and RAR12…

Thanks for the tips. I'm not running tubeless yet since I'm using tires left from my CX racing days before tubeless was really an option. I've used it for years on my mountain bikes and know how great it works. For a…
I've been riding mountain and road bikes for many years but feel the need to get out and explore the dirt. On the road I've always been a bit of a minimalist when it comes to my toolkit, a multi-tool with chain breaker,…
Well the brake issue took a little change last night. My wife pointed out that she never got me anything for my birthday. Now I've got a set of TRP Spyres on the way. Problem solved!
I have a 35mm drop already and the lowest I can find is the Tektro 40mm drop. I'm not sure that extra 5mm would give me the extra clearance I'd like. I've been thinking about modifying a linear pull noodle to fit in the…
I've got a Vassago Fisticuff for gravel and touring. I'm using cantilever brakes and the cable hanger replaces a headset spacer. That places it very close to the stem and creates a tighter bend than I'd prefer. I can't…
