I recently sold a Specialized mtb because they no longer would service the shock/brain on a 5 year old bike. There was a third party company that did it, but with shipping the wait time was over a...

I have several of the CygoLite models. One thing I like about them is that they come with both seatpost and seat stay mounts. Some lights only come with seat post mounts, which won't fit on some of...

I'll second the Ikon. I also ride to my rides, and this tire works well on the road and on New England singletrack. I also use the Maxxis Ardent for more technical trails, and while they are a bit...

Yes, a 29er will make a much better gravel bike. I remember what a chore it was riding 26-inch mountain bikes on dirt or paved roads.

Have you tried applying soapy water to the tire bead? I keep a spray bottle of water and dish soap and that usually works. For problematic tires, I will fill a bucket with really soapy water and...

I thought the Speedrockers will only go up to 42mm tires?

I've got them on my old gravel bike/winter bike. My shop had trouble finding traditional fenders that would work with the mechanical disc...

I also have the Sherpa 2.0 and highly recommend it, especially if you're looking for something light and easy to install and remove. It is significantly lighter than every other similar rack.

Note that the SK 28mm is only available for use with a tube. The 32mm is tubeless compatible. If you can fit it, I would recommend at least the 32mm for gravel riding.

I use the GravelKing Plus...

I assume with an older, traditional road wheel you will be using tubes. Panaracer makes a file-tread version of the GravelKing in 28 and 26mm. I have used the 26mm version on my road bike as a...

So, I have Campy 2x11 Potenza on my road bike (52/36 x 11-32), GRX 800 series 2x11 on my new gravel bike (46/31 x 11-34), and SRAM Apex 2x10 on my old gravel/winter bike (50/34 x 11-32).

For gravel, you'd need to look at the Speedplay Frog or SYZR. I use the Frog for gravel and mountain bikes and it has unlimited, full float. That works for some knee issues, but not for others. ...

I'm in this camp as well. I can count on one hand the number of road flats I've gotten in the past ten years. Fixing an isolated flat once every three years isn't enough motivation for me to...
