Continental GP5000 32mm Tested as a Gravel Tire - Riding Gravel
Nov 20, 2021 · I just saw the BRR test of the Continental GP5000 32mm as a gravel tire. Whats interesting is that at Gravel pressures it is not the fastest tire. It also is only 1 watt lower than a 35mm Terra Speed. In light of these results, I don't know why you would use a slick tire for gravel when you can have knobs and only give up 1 watt. It also highlights how fast the Challenge …

Dec 8, 2020 · 1. I ride a Tarmac 56 which came with 44cm handlebar, multiple bike fitters have told me i should be riding 42CM, but never got around to switch it. 2. On the 56 diverge my reach is definitely stretched and 42 will be better than 44 for reach reasons. My question is will going wider on the gravel handlebar improve the riding quality?
Lube for Gravel Bike Chains - The Riding Gravel Forum
Oct 21, 2021 · I have used petroleum based "wet" lubes for nearly 40 years. They are not bad for what they are intended. We started riding gravel last year and I clean my chains in an USC with a neodymium magnet in the baggie to collect metal particles. I noticed a significant increase in those particles that coincided with our off road adventures. The dust frrom the gravel adhered …
Handle bar width? - The Riding Gravel Forum
Jul 24, 2020 · Works well for me as I tend to use the drops when riding on loose surfaces or trails. If I rode trails on the hoods I'd certainly not want less than shoulder width. The other thing I'd pay attention to is the diameter of the tubing if you have big hands - the stock bars on my bike had quite narrow tubing and I found that very uncomfortable on ...
Favorite Utah Gravel Routes - The Riding Gravel Forum
Just what the title says. What's your favorite gravel ride in Utah? My two, in descending order, are Skyline Dr. from the Bountiful B to Farmington Canyon, and the dirt roads ringing the Cedar Mountain Wilderness Area in the West Desert. Pony Express from Simpson Springs to Tooele Valley is pretty sweet, too. I've included the Strava routes for all those because sharing. Cedar …
Gravel Specific Handlebars - The Riding Gravel Forum
I am new to gravel riding and have some basic questions about handlebars. 1) As an old guy I ride in the drops less than 5% of the time. I would like to be able to use the entire bar, but am worried that because of the curves the gravel bars offer less riding space on the tops. Is that true? 2) Also, I am 6'2 and broad so should I get the ...
Unbound Gravel - The Riding Gravel Forum
But that is part of the allure that draws gravel grinders from around the globe to Emporia every year. It took the better part of 2 hours to get to the other side and start riding again. There was a lot of camaraderie during that section with people sharing sticks and paint stirrers to others helping people with broken chains and RDs.
2020 Domane Gravel build - The Riding Gravel Forum
Dec 31, 2019 · 📷 With the 2020 Trek Domane SLR gaining so much tire clearance and the optional Pro geometry, I saw that it fit my needs for a gravel race bike perfectly. I don't bikepack but I'm looking forward to running fenders on it for wet winter road rides. Integrated fender mounts make this a breeze. Standard Domane Endurance geometry was too tall for me. The lower Pro …
2021 Trek Domane SL gravel build - The Riding Gravel Forum
Aug 5, 2021 · I thought I would share my Domane gravel build that I put together this year. I wanted this bike to be my "all road bike" and it has delivered beyond my expectations. I can't say enough good things about it, the front and rear isospeed work awesome and really take the chatter out of washboard roads while maintaining speed. Speaking of speed it's extremely …
