Curious how that might work with the skunks and martens at the cabin.

While I wouldn't use the Blackborow at Almonzo, it does have it's practical uses.

My dream maintenance bike is the Moots trail maintenance bike.

Chainsaw capacity. Check

Got out today for some windy miles on the bike path to some gravel/dirt, but it was like riding in peanut butter.

just built this up, hopefully ill have a chance to ride it this weekend. this is my first carbon frame as well as my first bike with discs and hydraulic brakes.
three star niner bsb rdo. rival 22 with thomson bits, stans grail wheels, and 36c strada biancas. i think that fabric saddle is supposed to be their equivalent to a flite? i hope it agrees with my sitbones.

Show me your gravelbikes....inspire me.

Non-typical pic for this thread. But my Crockett with 40mm WTB Nanos was flawless in the OMG 50 last weekend.

Bon Jon's were faster on the road, but I'm thinking that's the EL casing. These are standard casing... you don't feel the knobbies that much... barely.. you hear the wind whistle and you hear them gripping more really.

On the plus side they tear through gravel and dirt really well. Very confidence inspiring. Unlike the BJP's where you chose your lines more carefully in order to float on top of gravel rather than cut in.

That's my first impression anyways... lets see how they hold up!


Stunning!!
