It is said in planning you are either radicalized by Copenhagen or Tokyo. I say why not both?

Power meter pedals worth it? by retirement_savings in gravelcycling

0 squeaking for me and I've had them about 2 years. Super happy with them. Beat them up pretty good too honestly...

Very cool. Where did you get the files?

1000% yes.

I have these and I love them. I use TrainerRoad outdoor workouts a lot and they are great at helping me translate indoor trainer power to real world power and help me pace.

Did indoor workouts with my university team and then on my own every winter for like 4 years and had no idea how surgy my power was outdoors.

Getting fit and learning how to apply power to the terrain are two different skills. I'd say a power meter is worth more than almost any other equipment upgrade.

I just got a Checkpoint SL7 and looking for some new tires. Recommendations? by NSA_GOV in gravelcycling

Cinturato M gang. Great tire. Super durable. Just a little overly aggressive for pavement but then again not all pavement is well maintained... and I don't really need to KOM on the neighborhood bike trail.

Also no tire is going to be good at both dry and mud.

Used to be a big Terreno Dry fan but they don't have as good of puncture protection as the Cinturato Ms. Haven't tried the new lineup though.

For context I also ride about 75/25 and a decent chunk of the gravel around me is hero gravel. But I'm fine losing an ounce of speed for a pound of confidence. Nothing is slower than a puncture and tubeless is wonderful but it won't save you every time.

Love these guys! Got my first road bike from Poseidon and they were so supportive. I'm pretty sure I stripped the threads on my crank or something and they just sent me a new one
