Seat recommendations?

So far, I've been enjoying my first foray into gravel biking on my Davinci Hatchet 105, which feels like a Ferrari compared to my old Rocky Mountain hybrid... but I do find the seat to be too hard,...

Ah ok. They list 40c as the widest tire in the specs. I'm guessing you guys take the bike in for a test fitment before you commit to new tires/wheels?

Hi all, jumping in here, but how to do you determine -- based on specs -- what the max width of tire your bike can fit? I'm looking at a Devinci Hatchet 105 Aluminum (carbon forks) that comes with...

That's interesting. So say the tires had like 50 miles on them, but sat for years in a garage or basement. Are you saying the tire compound starts to deteriorate?

Who's riding the "wrong" frame size?

I'm 6'1" and a bit. I'm pretty desperate at this point, and had an XL hybrid (bike theft, stock is non-existent) that fit well for road, but felt a little tippy for off-road trails. I'm leaning...

Salt and Bike Care (undercoating?)

Does anyone do anything extra in the winter as far as keeping the salt from damaging the metal components? Thinking undercoating or some sort of protective grease.

I wish I could just hose it all...

I lol'ed.

Yeah, like I'm 42, and while I'm in great shape, I'm talking more navigating tree roots, rocks and ruts in the various MTB trails around here. There just happens to be a Giant STP 1...

Giant STP 1 hardtail

I'm pretty sure I'm going for a gravel bike for most of my riding, but want a MTB I can beat up and not worry about, when I'm doing more rugged off-road single track trails.

This is great info. Yeah, locally where I am in Canada, inventory is completely tapped out: I've literally been calling and asking if they have anything in an XL frame.

Garage is getting reno'ed. It's going to have steel doors and a dead bolt, so they're going to be making a helluva racket trying to get that open for bikes.

Bike Stolen: super bummed, but time to re-think?

So I'm in my early 40s, just started biking again 2 years ago after a 25 year hiatus and love it: was averaging about 80K a week, just after-work 1-hour rips on the paved bike trails mostly, but...
