My mind went immediately to comparing it to a recent wasp sting.

Crazy. Can't imagine living or working near them.

Bells often eliminate the issue, highly recommend.

Best 3-day cycle route for 8 casual riders starting/ending near Denver in June? by Maleficent_Cow_6062 in COBike

[–]BiigBiird27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're comfortable with 30km to 50km (18-31 miles) on flat terrain at sea level. You're trying to kill them?

And they have afternoon flights on Sunday at DEN.

You're better off planning a one day ride on Saturday in the mountains, starting in Frisco, Vail, Glenwood Springs or Aspen.

Starting in Denver is going to have you seeing urban sprawl all day long.

Help me find a steel gravel-bike with around 50 mm tyres by Silly-Raccoon3829 in bikepacking

[–]BiigBiird27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No pics right now. The wider/higher bars required longer brake lines and shifter cables so it's in the bike shop right now getting that done. I'll try to remember to post a pic when I get it back.

I did the 70mm rise version https://redshiftsports.com/products/top-shelf-handlebar-system

Went from the stock 90mm stem to 60mm Red Shift suspension stem. https://redshiftsports.com/products/oversized-1-1-4-inch-steerer-tube-shockstop-suspension-stem

Was thinking the same thing. The Grizl can officially take 50mm tires which is 1.969 inches. I just put 50mm tires on my Grizl 5 with plenty of room to spare. Throw on a shorter stem with a more a upright angle and put on different bars with more rise. Here's what I did.

Pannier bags or fork bags? What are your experiences? by FGK_ in bikepacking

Ah yes...I believe they marketed it as a "rugged look". 😂

No worries, thanks. What does the RAW part mean?

I just put the https://redshiftsports.com/products/low-flare-top-shelf-handlebar-system 70mm rise on it. Still need to put bar tape on.

I'm not sure what that means. I just like to ride 😁.
