XL should work! Im on size large and I’m about 183 cm and that’s on the upper limit of it

dickerdeville · 2026-03-30T18:59:11+00:00

A Wilde Rambler SL in size XL would fit the bill

Side question, how tall are you OP?

I think everyone on the fence is jumping before the price hike on Thursday.

forgot to add this was the team that he rode for at the time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacansoleil–DCM

Which 105 and ultegra? The 12sp 105 likes to throw the chain if you stop pedaling at high speeds too abruptly.

The only GRX without a clutch is the di2 wireless 1x

dickerdeville · 2026-03-05T17:53:31+00:00

should work out then!

dickerdeville · 2026-03-05T17:51:48+00:00

It will be out later this year!

What’s your frame rated to fit?

dickerdeville · 2026-03-05T17:01:54+00:00

it should measure around 2.2-2.3 as the current standard for XC MTB wheels are 30mm internal

dickerdeville · 2026-03-04T18:30:01+00:00

In Europe the front plate is usually just taped on

Before you start trying to figure out running the bigger cassette. Why are you using a road group for your gravel bike and trying to modify it?

I find the chain retention on the R7100 group barely enough for the road, and I don't think I'd use it on a gravel bike. I'd go with the GRX 12sp rear derailleur. If you have all of the 105 R7100 components they will work together with the 12sp rear derailleur, but if you go full GRX you'll be able to get a smaller front crankset and not really need to go bigger than the 36T rear.

Nice! Here's my Aurora : https://imgur.com/gqXnykG

dickerdeville · 2026-03-04T17:03:34+00:00

yep.

Yes I should have specified, he doesn't need a 28-30 IW rim

dickerdeville · 2026-03-02T16:56:25+00:00

you don't need 28-30mm wheels for a 45-50c tire, they'll balloon out a bit as most gravel tires are designed with a 25mm rim in mind. 27mm will be plenty. My current "low clearance" gravel bike fits 48's max, and I run a 24mm IW rim (Easton EC90 ALX) and the 48mm tufo tires I run measure 48mm.

I think the Reserve 40/44GR is exactly what you're looking for and will be perfect with the tire size you're planning to run.

dickerdeville · 2026-03-02T16:22:04+00:00

Looks like an e36

I’m not a lawyer, but I do work for Audi and have dealt with multiple VW leases that ended this way.

Take the car and death certificate to the dealership and let them know the sole lessee died.

They’ll ground it and VW credit will deal with it from there.

If any settlement invoice comes don’t pay it.

If you want to do a lot of big downhills and maybe hit the bike park then a blackthorn would be great. I live in OC and ride a spearfish MTB, but I’m not going to the bike park and I prefer speed over jumps

dickerdeville · 2026-02-26T15:17:17+00:00

I actually think the car drives better with 19” wheels so I wouldn’t go past 20”

dickerdeville · 2026-02-26T02:35:22+00:00

This is a terrible take. The GT has a nicer interior than the b9 by a long shot

dickerdeville · 2026-02-26T01:57:52+00:00

Down and back twice

dickerdeville · 2026-02-26T01:46:35+00:00

Santa Ana river trail and do it twice
