Have you tried using a wheel with a wider rim? I switched the tires to my Derby wheels with 30mm internal width, and they measure 55mm and 56mm wide. So far, I prefer the way the wider rims feel with the G-One Speed…
I noticed as well the new G-One sizes and picked up a pair of 29x2.0 (700x50) G-One Speed tires for my gravel bike. They weigh in at 524g and 548g on my scale (official is 520g). Mounted on a 26mm internal width rim,…
That's spectacular. I really like these hacked Shimano 1x setups, you get electronic shifting plus a rear clutch without the clunky SRAM shifters. And the sweet Dura Ace cranks and black rotors. My only slight nibble is…
I like the feel of a stiffer tire run at lower pressure compared to a supple tire at higher pressure. Lately I've been running 700x52mm WTB Thickslicks on my Sequoia at 13 PSI front and 15 PSI rear and it's been lovely.…
The Sequoia is a bit heavy in stock config, especially the wheels as the poster above mentions. My 54cm was 24lbs stock. Sawtooths are about 615g which isn't bad for a 42mm tire with puncture protection.
That's a Quad Lock phone mount. I've been using it for a year now and my phone hasn't fallen off, so no complaints from me.
Got the stem today in a 90mm size with 6 degrees of rise. Installation took about 20 minutes (was having some OCD aligning the handlebar to the wheel) and was straightforward, although I would recommend carefully…
I ordered one of these today. Will report on my experience when I receive it next week.
EagleGrinder, did you swish the sealant around the tire a bit first? The Sawtooth bead sometimes is a bit crinkled coming out of the box in the spots where it's folded. If you leave it out overnight in a round shape…
Slightly off topic but I recently swapped out my Sawtooths for 700x52mm WTB ThickSlicks. They just barely fit in my Sequoia. First thing right away is that you realize how supple the Sawtooth sidewalls are. You kind of…

I like the concept of the bike very much but the colors this year don't appeal to me at all. I think they nailed the design with the understated, nature-inspired colors of the Sequoia.

Got 1300 miles now on my Sawtooths and they are holding up well. No punctures yet (knock on wood). Just went on a week-long bikepacking trip and they handled well on pavement, dirt, gravel, grass, and singletrack.…

Curious if anyone has used these tires? They're 700x45 slicks with the Gripton compound plus Armadillo flat protection. https://www.specialized.com/us/en/equipment/components/electrak-armadillo/117647 A bit heavy at…
Per ETRTO standards a 19mm internal rim can be used with 28mm to 62mm (2.4") tires safely. Practically speaking, it's probably just ever so slightly narrower than ideal for 44m, but should work just fine. With a wider…
