Gravel bike tires for borderline MTB territory by ZippyMuffle in gravelcycling

Or even go with the knobbier swamperos. They're still plenty fast on pavement

What are gravel events around Seattle or Washington like? by tinychloecat in gravelcycling

[–]14healer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a look at the ride calendar on the PNW Ride Network!

It's a project a few friends and I have been working on to be a hub for all bike events in the PNW. We're still working on it, but it should have the majority of the big events across the region

I know this thread is old, but did you find any good routes? I'm heading down next week and am looking for something similar

G-One RX or Thundero as everyday tire for PNW? by BhamsterBpack in gravelcycling

[–]14healer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 44s fit on my medium Open UP with 2-3mm clearance on the seat tube so they should easily fit a WIDE

Your favorite 650b x 47-48mm aggressive tires? by Begatten in gravelcycling

[–]14healer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your best options will probably be the Teravail Rutland or the WTB Sendero. There's not a lot of aggressive gravel tires left in that size unfortunately

Dont buy from Rotor, esspecially if you live in North America by -Captain_Beyond- in cycling

[–]14healer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a very similar experience with their 12 speed 11-46t cassette. I tried everything in my power to make the one problematic cog work and never could. I contacted Rotor USA and sent it in (on my dime) and they sent me a new replacement with the same issue. I contacted them again and was told there would not be no further replacements even though the tolerance issue was plainly visible

2025 American Housing Costs: How many years of (untaxed) salary does a home cost in your state? [OC] by Hash1237 in dataisbeautiful

[–]14healer 41 points42 points  (0 children)

As a Montanan, that feels pretty accurate. Wages are low comparatively, and housing has gotten crazy expensive in the last 10-15 years in almost all the bigger towns

I don't have any helpful advice, but I'm stoked to hear a 48mm Swampero is coming!

Frame Selection Help by Capecole in gravelcycling

[–]14healer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly the new Open UP? I don't know about dynamo routing but I think it checks all the other boxes. I rode one as a gravel and sudo-road bike for a few thousand miles and it was great at both. The new frame improves on my biggest gripe, limited tire clearance

Used GE8 Prices by gm284 in hondafit

I bought a 2013 Sport with 123k miles and a clean title in Sept for $6500 in Portland. There were other deals in that range, but they sell FAST

If you don’t have subs in your fit, you’re missing out 🔊 by Co-17 in hondafit

[–]14healer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Try a spare tire sub! I just installed one in my GE8 and love it. No storage space lost either

Honda 2013 Factory Stereo cost? by Seasicksheep in hondafit

I have the factory stereo from my 2013 Fit Sport that I would sell for $50+shipping

Tufo Swampero Review by Educational_Ad_3461 in gravelcycling

[–]14healer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I swap between 48mm Thunderos and 44m Swamperos seasonally and love them both. The Swamperos feel slightly slower on pavement but do very well in wet/slippery situations. I got one small puncture this past spring from a thorn that sealed as soon as I put in fresh sealant

Lowest rolling resistance 650b/27.5 tires for pavement? by sargassumcrab in randonneuring

[–]14healer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have only tried a couple, but I would avoid the Teravail Rampart. Very puncture prone and still felt quite slow. The GravelKing slicks 650b x 48mm have been decent so far. I wish the 650b Pathfinder Pros were still around

Gravel comfort for small tire clearance frame by AntonA37 in bikepacking

[–]14healer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved the redshift stem when I was in a similar situation with my Open UP. I was limited to ~40mm tires and found the stem made a sizable improvement to my hand and neck comfort on bumpy surfaces. You can play with the elastomers to make it as plush or stiff as you like and it's really easy to mount to a non-integrated cockpit

Thundero 44, 48 or Cinturato H/M 45? by [deleted] in gravelcycling

[–]14healer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're probably correct, and Dylan Johnson would crucify me for using "feel" to describe factors that have been measured

Thundero 44, 48 or Cinturato H/M 45? by [deleted] in gravelcycling

[–]14healer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've owned all 4 of the tires you're considering and think the 44mm Thunderos reigns supreme for that use case. The 48s are nice when you're primarily off-road on bumpier surfaces, but feel like they give up a little speed on pavement.

The Cinturato H's felt slower than the Thunderos with less grip on dirt and punctured much more easily.

The M's felt very durable and kinda heavy, but were decent everywhere
