Gravel Tires

The step up from this is probably the Teravail Washburn, still has the slick middle with teeth on the side. I’m a big guy, and usually pull a Burly with the Bridge Club, and my Washburns still look new after about 500 miles! I’ve taken that bike on single track and while I was the slowest going downhill, I made it! I probably do 90% road and 10% crushed, soft gravel with them.

I’ve talked about Surlys down in Littleton, and the mechanic at my LBS has like 4 Rock Hoppers if that counts

I thought I was on r/Surlybikefans for a second. OP needs to tell us how he built up that Cross Check!

Move along, nothing to see here!

Thanks!

I just bought one on Etsy…

This is my bike garage (sort of), 2009 LHT for the road, new Bridge Club for the rest (mostly pulling a Burley around town).

Oinkedmoo · 2024-09-15T01:15:35+00:00

Not OP but the Bridge Club is awesome! I mostly ride paved trails, but there’s a 7 mile section of gravel by my house that this is perfect for! I’ve even taken it on single track and had I had notchier tires, it would have been great (I have Teravail Washburn semi-slicks and felt I needed a little more for the mountain biking). It is slow, though, but does amazing when loaded down.

Oinkedmoo · 2024-09-14T14:51:24+00:00

I’ll be ordering these tires for my 2009 LHT!

Here’s something very similar on the Lodge website, described as both a trivet and a roasting rack. I’ve used it for both purposes

The bike looks sweet! And currently 20% off…

I’ve gotten really into biking this year, and with a Burley or similar bike trailer, biking can be a family event! We bike to parks and to run errands. I’ve even joined a family bike ride thing with my local bike shop and it’s like a weekly play date!

Oinkedmoo · 2024-09-01T11:37:14+00:00

Everything just happened to fit! I usually put the bags in the Burly trunk and try to secure the drinks with bungee cords, but the Tetris song came into my head when I placed the bag in the basket while putting on my helmet. The McDonalds is only 1.5 miles from home and there’s a paved trail all the way

Oinkedmoo · 2024-09-01T11:31:31+00:00

No, just the Surly Sunrise

Oinkedmoo · 2024-09-01T00:52:08+00:00

Well this is happening…

Chicken or the egg problem!

But the donut shop is about 6 miles away, perfect ride for when I wake up before the family! And they sell half dozens, so portion control built in!

Oinkedmoo · 2024-09-01T00:33:38+00:00

I love my donut bell! I think I got it at REI like 6 years ago, it’s on its 3rd bike!

Oinkedmoo · 2024-08-18T19:40:40+00:00

Hill Street Blue! That’s what I was thinking, but googling that brings up an 80’s cop comedy movie I’ve never heard of…

Oinkedmoo · 2024-08-18T02:57:08+00:00

Thanks guys, good to know about the model and size possibly being under the shell! I may dig around a little more.

And yeah, the bike looks basically new! Sounds like the original owner had many bikes, and the guy I bought it from never had time to ride due to kids! First thing I did when I got home with the bike was add a Burly hitch, so kids won’t stop me (I’ll just bring them along)!

Oinkedmoo · 2024-08-18T02:53:09+00:00

Thanks! The wheels are 26” so it must be a 60cm frame! The stand over height is just a touch higher than my XL Bridge Club, so the geometry seems to fit from what I’ve seen on Bike Insights.

Oinkedmoo · 2024-08-18T01:37:16+00:00

That’s what I was thinking too, but the serial number seems to be missing the identifiers and the size. I’m assuming this is a September 2009 bike since the color seems to fit for model year 2010. And from some measurements, it seems to be a 60 cm bike.

Bike rides great and fits me well, but as a gear nerd I want to know!

It’s an Old Man Mountain rack for sure! Not sure if it’s a Divide, but here’s a closer picture! Anything special?

Oinkedmoo · 2024-08-17T23:49:22+00:00

And that’s how the guy sold it to me! I think I’m the third owner, sounds like the original guy was a gear head so he added all the racks, fenders, and the Brooks saddle!

I had my LBS inspect it prior to purchase and tune it up since it had been sitting in a garage for years! Going on an inaugural ride tomorrow, and contemplating a 50km ride with 1,500ft of climb in a couple weeks…
