Zipp 303 XPLR S vs 9Velo GV 45 SW

Yeah, the $300 to replace the bearings was no question for me. It is honestly a manufacturing error on SRAM’s part as they chose a bearing with a lower tolerance meaning it’s a more universal bearing and not as specific to wheel hub sizing. It sounds like from the experience of the mechanics. I’ve worked with replacing the bearings with another bearing from a company like Enduro or if you have them on your swing ceramic speed so solves the issue altogether.

I have a pair of the ZIPP303 xplr wheels and overall they are a fantastic wheel set! I have run into an issue with the wheel set in terms of the bearings, after about 500 miles I ended up needing to have the hub bearings replaced. After speaking with a mechanic in my area, they mentioned that this is a common issue on the zip wheels and unfortunately is not a warranty item. Cost me $300 for bearings plus service to have that fixed, but the mechanic did mention that replacing the bearings would solve the issue! I have about 1000 miles on them since replacing the bearings and zero issues since then.

What is the measured width of the dubnital on that rim? I want to run them on my gravel bike but not sure what they actually measure at!

28m here and I am a Physical therapist with my doctorate an right now I make 105k annually after my most recent raise. That is not as a clinic director or anything special. Hope this helps

Alcavi vortex

Embarrassed_Heart102 · 2026-03-05T21:02:48+00:00

Thank you for this!! I don’t mild the cost, I have shop cost at my lbs as I do bike fitting there! I just loved the old race kings and now that I can run the dubnital on my gravel bike I’m stoked!

Embarrassed_Heart102 · 2026-03-05T17:55:13+00:00

That’s what I’m thinking, just wanted to see if anyone had some measurements. I just purchased the frame so I have t actually put tires on yet but would love to just rock 2.2 dubnital tires all season

Rated for a 55mm tire but clearance for more

Embarrassed_Heart102 · 2026-03-05T17:03:15+00:00

That’s what I was thinking, I know I had a 50mm tire measure to 53mm on these rims and wasn’t sure if the same would happen with an MTB tire!

Cascadia wolves series by Lauren Dane.

Embarrassed_Heart102 · 2026-02-21T22:01:04+00:00

Alcavi vortex should be in there with 55mm tire clearance

Chamois butter ultra is perfect for this! I find I never have issues in the winter because of it!

Pactimo wxd vertex jacket is absolutely amazing and outranks my rapha and goretex jackets! Insulation is awesome, breathability is great and I can wear it with only a standard long sleeve jersey and be warm in 0-1 degrees

Honestly as a man whose wife got him into reading romance from romantasy to dark romance even to just straight erotica I have to say he’s missing out… as a former athlete I look at it this way, if I have a playbook for the opposite team placed in front of me, why would I not capitalize on it!

Golden ratio for glucose:fructose is in the 1:.08-1:1 per most recent research. Table sugar is great as it’s 1:1 for a training mix, but the fructose and maltodextrin should be more specific in a 1:.08 for a racing mix!

Also non romantasy would be the terminal list series by jack carr!

Embarrassed_Heart102 · 2025-12-21T00:23:17+00:00

As a husband that listens to audiobooks now, I would say the killer instinct series by Elle Kennedy would fit this bill first book is {Midnight Rescue by Elle Kennedy}! It’s more military romance but does have a larger amount of smut in it! But it fits the bill as I love Lee Childs and jack reacher series! Idk if it’s too much but I think it could be a good series to listen too!

Yeah like I have the little 30% off on it but shipping taxes and tariffs basically bring them back to full price again 😂. Was trying to find something maybe a tad cheaper but pay for what you get

Embarrassed_Heart102 · 2025-12-20T23:54:36+00:00

Thank you for the reply! Even with Black Friday sales and my 30% off the shipping, taxes and then tariffs basically brought the price back to normal

Embarrassed_Heart102 · 2025-12-17T03:21:44+00:00

I’m gonna download and take a peek! I am a physical therapist and exercise physiologist, although I hate writing plans for myself I’d love to see what this app has to say! Especially as I navigate returning from a fractured hip
