Yeah I find the geometry of the X has some pros and cons. I'm running SPD pedals and even shorter 165mm cranks and I still get occasional toe strike. On the previous frame I had (from which I swapped...

I actually prefer the WTB Nano tires. They roll faster on pavement, have more cushion and bite better on hard pack dirt fire roads, despite being a bit heavier. The GravelKing SKs, feel like they...
