I had Crests and they were pure shite. Way too soft, always going out of true. Of course, they're basically only for kids, gals, or really lightweight guys. Otherwise, stay away. I've had orders of magnitude more…
I have a 2019 carbon SuperX and it is crazy awesome. I cannot compare to the Grail though as I've never ridden a Grail. I can say that the SuperX is great for racing CX, racing gravel, or just going out and getting…
I have a 2019 with a boatload of road and off-road miles 1) Disappointed in the lack of tire clearance. 40ish with little extra room on 'average' wheels (like C38 or SLX24) 2) Low bottom bracket is excessive and…

Looking to do some (semi)serious gravel racing, everything from gravel kermesse races (~30-35 miles) to longer 100+ mile races So how do you roll? Lightweight wheels or deeper wheels? Do the deeper, more aero wheels…
I've had the Nanos and I'm just not a fan. Slow and heavy for the traction they give, which is purely straight forward as the tyre edge provides very little cornering traction. It was popular when it was the only tire…
I am wearing those exact Voler thermal bib knickers at this very moment, and I absolutely love them. It was mid-20s this morning, and the moment I got to pedaling, my legs warmed up (as did my derriere).
Just wanted to post up a bit here, as I had some time on the GravelKing SK Muds and time on the Terrano Mix. The SK Muds are a really good mixed surface tire, and for 'gravel mud' they're pretty good, but don't look at…
I ended up ordering a set of the 35c GK Muds to test out, as Jayson from gravelcyclist had some good things to say about them. I have a set of Vittoria Terreno Mix's coming on my cyclocross bike (Cannondale SuperX) so…
were the Resolutes able to climb in mud? I'd need them to have a bit of bite, seems like the Resolutes are similar in tread to the tires I have now (Specialized Renegades)
has anyone had the opportunity to try the 38c Steilacooms?
Looking for a larger volume mud/gravel/singletrack "cyclocross/gravel" tire. Something that is going to roll fast on the gravel but still handle decently in the slop. I will be riding these in the semi-slop and probably…
I have 4 sets of SLX24s with my various bikes, including on a Cannondale Synapse, a Specialized Roubaix, a Specialized Ruby, and a Specialized Diverge. They are a great wheel roadset for the money. Lightweight and darn…
Custom-built 2017 Specialized Sequoia, 54cm, built up from black frame Excellent condition, a few small nicks and rub marks, fairly low mileage (could never get comfortable on the 54, too small for my weird body) *…
also note, "C38 wheelset" on the new Expert, along with a $1k price boost. I'm betting that's a 38mm tall carbon "offroad" wheelset to bridge the gap between the CL50 and the SLX24 for their CX and gravel bikes.…
I have a 2018 Diverge Expert and on the SLX24 wheels it came with, the 42c Sawtooth (Slicks) BARELY fit and rub if you're over about 150# or if your air pressure is less than 60psi. 40c is the largest tire I would put…
My wife has a 2018 Cannondale Synapse, the tires on it now are just shy of 700x35c (Roubaix Pro on SLX24 rims, tubeless) I'd be comfortable putting UCI cyclocross tires on it. If you're lighter weight, you could…
doesn't specialized typically run on a 2-year cycle, where year 1 they introduce the 'new' version, then in year 2 they just introduce new colorways and make small changes to the builds, things like drivetrain, brakes,…
