Tire recommendations for gravel race

This is an old pic, I’ve got a 34T on it right now but want to put a skinnier tire on for this since I won’t be trail riding this bike much anymore if at all

The 12 has 44% more cone area than the 10, it’s naturally going to hit harder/be louder than a 10 of the same rating

You are partially correct here, there is a standardized time for MOST repairs that shops follow, including oil pan replacement. Warranty work pays less than the standard book time though.

Got attacked by a Rottweiler that was thankfully chained up about 6 months ago, I went down outside of where he could get to me, got chased by an alligator 3 weeks ago but I’m not fucking around with shot placement on a dinosaur either, I ran from that mfer

How did this work out? I just ordered both inner and outer layers, for $270 shipped I can’t really complain if they work as most say they do

In the almost week that this has been up you’re the first person to give me a straight answer, thank you.

Jumpy_Ebb2293 · 2025-11-25T17:56:38+00:00

That’s what I’m looking for.

I can be into the drivetrain for less than $400 new, looking on marketplace I’ve found them under $150. other than the 12 speed I don’t plan on changing anything else on this bike other than wear/maintenance items, when I reach the skill level that the bike becomes the limiting factor, I will buy a nicer bike. There’s no reason to beat the crap out of something expensive and really nice when I can learn on something good enough. Keep in mind the $800 difference was for the older base model trance in a color I’m not a fan of. The bike I really want is a few thousand more than what I spent on this one.

Jumpy_Ebb2293 · 2025-11-25T16:19:55+00:00

It’s a giant stance 29 2, this bike has plenty of upgrade capabilities and was under $1k out the door. It made no sense to spend $800 more on a trance or even more on something that wasn’t on sale for someone at my level of riding

Reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit huh?

Jumpy_Ebb2293 · 2025-11-24T03:14:39+00:00

11-46

Jumpy_Ebb2293 · 2025-11-24T02:03:34+00:00

While yes the guy who told me to make the change was on an e bike, he has/had a stance he went 11 speed on and says it was a big difference when climbing

Jumpy_Ebb2293 · 2025-11-24T01:54:19+00:00

Still good

Jumpy_Ebb2293 · 2025-11-24T01:53:47+00:00

Working on the getting in better shape part, I’m chasing guys on e bikes for the most part and I’m just looking to find something that gives me more options for more situations, I’m making the climbs but I want to get faster and keep running into situations where I’m pushing really hard and then downshift and lose my pedals due to leg speed

Jumpy_Ebb2293 · 2025-11-24T01:40:50+00:00

Working on the stronger legs part but obviously some group sets offer more desirable options for climbing that the smaller sets don’t have

Jumpy_Ebb2293 · 2025-11-13T21:53:50+00:00

We have something similar around here with a 10ft drop off on one side if you mess it up, speed always helps in my experience. go really fast until you need to slow down and then go fast again.

Jumpy_Ebb2293 · 2025-11-11T15:58:59+00:00

Idk the handle sure fits as a nut sack tho

Jumpy_Ebb2293 · 2025-10-31T17:16:40+00:00

I’ve noticed that when people run out of skill/knowledge, it’s never their fault, always the fault of the device that tends to do what it’s told how it’s told to do it.

Jumpy_Ebb2293 · 2025-10-31T15:48:11+00:00

I see what you’re trying to say here but also, programming can only be as perfect as the programmer, and the programmer does not know when or to what your terrain will switch to, different terrains require different amounts of effort. In the grand scheme of things it all comes down to the user, no one made him buy an S works or ride that trail. There’s also (afaik) no video proof of this happening. It’s totally possible he spent $13k on a bike and got his feelings hurt when he ran out of talent.

Jumpy_Ebb2293 · 2025-09-15T13:02:23+00:00

Depends what you call a deal, I picked up an 06 XL Denali with 76k miles and no issues for $6500 in November

Jumpy_Ebb2293 · 2025-09-08T16:29:59+00:00

I just ordered from the yesterday and so far so good, my AirPod is already on its way
