I think so. Heck, my lunker butt rolls a 780 gram frame. That one looks robust for its weight.

Yep, the warranty it comes with is pretty darn good. Even comes with 2 or 3 years of road service.

Last time I raced Boulder Roubaix, I thought I needed to be fast on the road and the gravel would just be survival. I was wrong... The road was slow, the gravel was like a crit. At midnight. I hope these help a bit.

We have a race here in a few weeks that’s 50/50 dirt and road. I did it last year on 28s and it was fine. I’m thinking this year I may try something a little wider, it may save some of the beating that wears you out around like 70

I don't think this pic is on the route, but it's in the Grasslands that the WCG goes through.

No. AG did sign up for a gravel tri in Steamboat at some point, though.

Correctly guessed which of several options it was.

Is this an April fool's joke?

Some of my friends are plotting an early season century ride out to Lancaster and back for tomorrow. I think I will give it a try.

datlas 04-01-22 05:42 AM

I should have had today's Wordle in 2 but ended up with 3. Not too shabby and still batting 1000. :bday:

Same.

Or give me an Outback EV and I’m all in.

I also recall that you drove around with the sticker on the window for several weeks.

It's April Fools Day. It's a good idea not to believe anything you hear in the news. Pretty much like every other day, I suppose.

WhyFi curious about your thoughts.

Challenge lists their Strada Bianca Pro as hookless compatible in 33 and up. Enve lists the 30 as approved on their 25 wide SES AR. Wondering if you’d trust it or stick with what the manufacturer says. Since Zipp doesn’t test- I’m thinking I can trust the 30, but who knows.

I imagine that the 33 is about as fast as the GP5k 32 since the 36 is only like a watt slower. I’m probably over thinking it.

Also- I don’t know if you’ve used the Rapha down size, but if you do, you can use the jersey discount on the bundles. I got some core cargo bibs and a core lightweight jersey for 120 bucks.
