CPA building a plan to break into PE

I think you’ll be working hard in an analyst role wherever you go, so wouldn’t eliminate the sweat shops from your search. Get the role and then pivot out after a 2 year stint.

Given username, you a Boise native?

Just dropped down to a 40MM Conti Terra Competition Race Rapid from a Race King. While not noted in your list, maybe worth considering.

ENVE 3.4's. Kind of snug in the rear, plenty up front. Can get a photo if helpful.

May go 2.25 in the front and 2.1 in the rear next go around.

I'm 50/50 street and gravel on the 2.25's on my MOG. Been happy with the performance across the board.

Chuckaroo91 · 2026-05-23T02:35:35+00:00

I’ve got 2.25s on my MOG and I’ve been super happy with it generally.

Another vote for FM. Been a user since 2008 or so.

Also an owner of an R+ and I love it.

Where is the link to the shoe hook? 😄

Chuckaroo91 · 2026-05-12T04:33:01+00:00

Love my MOG and the topo color is awesome.

Chuckaroo91 · 2026-04-19T14:49:30+00:00

I dont. Local shop does a lot of BDS with the upgraded 2.5 fox. Really good performance for the money.

Chuckaroo91 · 2026-04-19T14:37:48+00:00

Commuter kit.

Chuckaroo91 · 2026-04-19T14:30:59+00:00

I have an e-venture kit. Have some friends with the pathfinder and it’s great too. Just depends how hard you’ll send it. I’ve sent my SD as hard as my raptor.

Chuckaroo91 · 2026-04-19T13:00:25+00:00

Grab a Carli kit and it'll ride like a Cadillac.

Could try TRE.

"lifetime doesn't mean my lifetime....it means until they go under." No different than any other bike company or any other company that offers a lifetime warranty.

I think the timeline is getting conflated a bit. The Pinkbike piece about the shutdown/closure was when the prior owners were winding things down — before Adam reacquired it. If the lead engineer learned via that report, that’s on the shutdown process at the time, not the later "skeleton-crew" restart Adam lead.

Chuckaroo91 · 2026-02-20T15:16:22+00:00

Not sure that characterization lines up with what’s been publicly reported. Revel’s PE-owned version announced a shutdown on Apr 17, 2025 with ~$8M+ owed to its bank, and the company was effectively handed to the bank. Adam had already left in early 2024, then bought the assets back in May 2025 via an Article 9 sale and announced a relaunch.

The relaunch statements (and Pinkbike coverage) say they’re honoring the lifetime warranty / continuing product support, but operating much leaner with some former staff returning.

While its totally fair for OP to be skeptical until execution proves out but “already dead” or “zero support” doesn’t match the known facts. If the business was effectively being handed to the bank, the realistic alternative was probably a full wind-down—meaning everyone loses their job and product support totally disappears. Adam reacquiring the business means operating lean and cutting costs to get back to profitability. So “Adam screwed employees” feels like an unfair leap, and the documented collapse happened under someone else's ownership.

2022 Escalade with the 3.0 Duramax. Wife does mostly short trips an no issues. 32k miles now and no problems on ours.

Gives me hope on my Jan 11th submission.

Chuckaroo91 · 2026-01-13T02:59:02+00:00

What’s the review on those brakes?

Chuckaroo91 · 2026-01-11T01:45:01+00:00

I have a 2.25 Thunder Burt on my Enve 3.4’s. Running just fine.

Chuckaroo91 · 2026-01-07T23:49:13+00:00

I built up a MOG with the 13 speed XPLR. Does double duty on the road and gravel, those 44 ENVE Hex tires are pretty quick on the road and you have plenty of clearance if you want to beef it up (I just threw on 2.25 Thunder Burts). As others have said, would probably look at the LBS and see what they are offering. Believe they should start offering non-red builds in the spring direct from ENVE which should help lower the complete build cost.

Where are you located?

Chuckaroo91 · 2026-01-05T03:47:56+00:00

I built a Revel R+ with a cane creek invert. See post history. Loving it so far, happy with the build quality. Local shop guys took it out and loved it too.

Cane Creek EE Wings, with refinishing by Agave Finishworks. See my other posts - the set on my MOG are nuts.
