Agreed on the disc brakes, never thought about it because I live in a flat pancake country and don’t do enough mileage (or don’t use my brakes enough :p ) to wear out rims.

Interesting discussion. As someone who finds everything "bike" related too expensive, what would one say is the best "value" bike. Say I don't care about newer technology and am not racing. Alu frame with rim brake alu wheels and an 'older' ten speed groupset?

Delirium, Duvel, Duvel tripel hop and tripel lefort last night. Not too keen on doing any work today

can i use a 11 speed mtb derailleur with road shifters?

Can the wheels be run tubeless? Can the frame and fork clear more than 25mm? Also, I'm tired af but am I missing a price? See the price now.

put the handle on the framebag?

Title says it all, I think. Last one went into the spokes :( Postage would be to Belgium

Yeah, I’ll probably go for that one if I can find one secondhand, just have the snapped one still in the back of my head and am wondering if it’s my bad for taking it off-road

Just got back from my shortest bike trip, bent derailleur hanger and derailleur snapt in two. I’ve ordered a hanger at the frame builder and am looking at a new derailleur. It was originally build as a commuter so I went with 105 but if I use it more for mtb/gravel/offroad, should I look at other options? It’s a 2x system atm 11-32 cassette. Cheers!

have you tried another sd card?

I gave up on running the rock 'n roads tubeless. They've been in my shed for too long, had massive sidewall leaks + went from good pressure (survived a 45km mtb ride) to completely flat and popped off the rim overnight twice. Always need the compressor to pop them back up. You could probably run them tubeless and I've tried since others have succeeded online but for using them twice each month they would probably be deflated everytime I wanted to get out. I've just popped tubes in them and will ride them till they break. Not mad since they aren't meant to be tubeless but in the meantime I'll keep my eyes open for replacements.

I'm a huge fan of schwalbe tyres since I've never had trouble running them tubeless. Will be used for mtb trails in Belgium, so nothing too technical, g-one bite maybe?

Thanks everyone for the bar psi tips!

for someone entirely new to gravel bikes aka finally using his gravel bike for what's it supposed to be made for and not just commuting, I've installed rock 'n road tyres. I've set them up tubeless although they are not. I went for a 45 km mtb ride yesterday and they held up fine. Now I'm wondering which tire pressure I should ride. I've no idea except that I bounced of my saddle a few times yesterday so 5 bar was way too hard. Any tips except for lowering it bit by bit?

And almost makes me regret the respray of mine.

Good luck, they are excellent frames!

Seeing all these makes me want to get 50mm rims

any idea if the wheelset (31) can be converted to quick release?

depens on rim + tyre combination I guess. I'm running old campa zonda's ghetto tubeless with schwalbe tyres and they are ok. I read somewhere that one of two things should be tubeless (rim or tyre) and you should be good to go.

seeing as I'll be using my reserve front wheel when the dynamo is not needed, anyone know where to look for budget gravel wheelsets? Will be running 43mm tubeless rock'nroad's. Quick release but don't care about the weight as it's only for a few times/month. Is there anything regarded as a good budget option?

Stupid question: does a dynamo hub ‘wear’ when not connected? I have a spare front wheel but does it matter to switch?

Thanks, time for some research!

Whats the go to handlebar bag for smaller stuff? So not the harness + drybag option I see a lot. Like a top tube bag but also for some clothing for day rides?

Grissette wasn’t too bad but wouldn’t buy again.

Ah, but those are self adhesive shit aka would be much faster and or more success than trying to silicone it. But then it’s superglue or leave it

I’ve used these before
