650b Gravdals would really be nice. If you are really intent on 650b studs, give Peter White a call. He sells some.
I realize you said middle of road.. but i don't think there is such a thing. Also... given your 'uk weather'... the issue isn't bearings, it's sealing (IMO) I have ~9,000miles of mud, grit, dust, salt, ice, while…
Of the three you posted, it looks like the EMP is the one i'd go with (just on tread pattern... no experience with actual tire). Though it still looks like it has a lot of tighter tread. I generally don't think the MSO…
Hi Chris! I'll be dropping by to say hi to you and Kelly, yet again. Hopefully we can get out to ride together this time or chat business strategy over coffee/beer. I think Kelly cc'd you on a response to an email i…
Hi all, i'll be out in LA for fork next week and plan to ride Feb 15-19th. I've done a fair bit of road and a little dirt/gravel out in Ojai and Los Olivos areas, but would love some good recommendations for…
Hey all, So... the wife and I would love to go somewhere to ride for a week or two this summer. We're trying to get ideas about places that meet the following criteria: - We can ride between 50-80miles per day -…
Congrats on the 4hrs! That's pretty darn good for such brutality. As for the Bowie Loop... Yep... Your final snow trek started with that right off Pinkham Rd onto the Trillium mtb trail and then ended when you took a…
The weather was pretty glorious, wasn't it? Conditions were pretty perfect. Sorry to hear about TRP. That said, they have phenomenal customer service. I highly recommend calling them (not emailing). As for me... I had a…
Well... how'd Rasputitsa go for you? Any tequila shots? Or Unicorn hugs?
Nice. I'll be running Resolutes. I used them at the Massochisatah (https://www.bikereg.com/massochistah), in similar conditions (snow, ice, a plenty of mud) and absolutely loved them. If it's cold, things should be…
Hey Ben, So... it's been a bit wild and wooly in these parts. You may have seen this: https://www.shorthandledshovel.com/knowledge/ That should help. Good luck on Saturday! It should be a slippery mess. JS.
If you are 80/20 and in New England... and that 20 is dirt road.... the SK is way overkill. Gravel King Slicks, Compass slicks... etc... Hell... even a nice 32c slick (Donnelly, Schwalbe, Continental) works really well…
Taxes: It ain't called Tax'achusetts for nothing... But, we tend to have decent services. Town: I'm in Greenfield. The wife and I really like it. But it's weird. There are plenty of smaller, more rural villages/towns…
I live on the Mass/Vermont border, in a small, slightly decrepit but infinitely funky old manufacturing town in Franklin County. Come for the riding... stay for the cheap (for the north east) exceptionally high quality…
Have fun up at VOMAR this weekend. Weather looks great (though there should be a lot of snow). Rasputitsa... I responded originally thinking you were interested in doing the fun ride (VOMAR) with studs... I'd highly…
Volsung, fully agree! Initial cost vs actual value.
I weigh 135lbs, so lightweight wheels are pretty important to me. I also like stiff wheels. And, yes... even with my diminutive size I notice flex in wheels. I also like big, remote rides and race a bit... so... need a…
My wife runs Ramblers for dirt, that I have ridden as well... she loves them. I'd echo Chas's comments that they don't lack for much, depending on what you like/the type of terrain you typically find yourself on. That…
Have you emailed Peter? Depending on conditions I'm fairly certain he'll put out an email ahead of the RIDE. The beauty of this RIDE is that it is a total crap shoot. Bring two bikes and a couple sets of tires, choose…
VOMAR should be an absolute mess this year. The Ascutney area is sitting under about 20-30inches of snow pack right now. With more to come over the next two days. I live about an hour south, and we've just been drilled…
