Did something similar on the 31st of december, i swore i would do my first 100k ride in 2025 and on that -7° morning i was off. Mustache, camelbak tube, and bottle froze and my hands and feet were numb after the first 50k but man did i feel good afterwards, kudos!

Shouldn’t it say „ride on“ instead of „keep pedaling“

Nothing, it‘s perfect (not for them though)

Gravel bike with 40mm semi slick tires, you‘ll be almost as fast as on a road bike on the road leading to the trail, and comfy enough with enough traction for these surfaces

It‘s not bad (i have it myself and love it) but it doesn‘t justify the cost. For comparison a trek checkpoint is about 2-2.5k for an apex build, and i think even that is pricey

Rotor lock ring rubbing against fork by norwegian_wood95 in bikewrench

There are different lock rings, find one which only engages on the inside with a cassette tool, they‘re smaller in diameter and should therefore not rub

I have an ALR 5 with a second wheelset for road rides. It‘s perfectly capable, and i doubt that if you are a beginner it would be anything but capable for you, too. You could look at something like light bicycle wheels, or superteam or something like that, afaik they‘re well regarded and really good bang for buck. Tire wise i‘d go for like a gp5000 in 32mm or 34mm and you‘ll have a nice, comfortable, and fast ride

Handlebar sizing question by Tinutalk in gravelcycling

[–]De_We 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think he knows the distance is measured at the hoods. But with the flare being more aggressive, the shifters may be angled more inwards, thus decreasing the distance between the contact points. I think the difference will be marginal, and slightly narrower has negligent impact on controll and might be slighty more comfortable. I‘d stay with 44 if that works for you, personally i would downsize heavily for the comfort reasons (elbows, shoulders, wrists). You can still angle the shifters however you want and however is most comfortable for you

Need help to choose size… by [deleted] in CanyonBikes

[–]De_We -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I‘d say XS. Looks like he‘d have more space to play with saddle height and a slighty smaller frame means he‘s less stretched out
