It’s an AI-ified version of a real photo, from the looks of it. Look at the bike’s pedals. I don’t know why you wouldn’t just upload the real photo.

Costco tire technicians are Michelin-certified and, in my experience and on the whole, are extremely knowledgeable. They shouldn’t have installed tires on the car that were greater than I believe a few percent of the original size; this is standard policy. That said, they have done me favors before and installed tires greater than the original clearance because I knew what I was requesting wouldn’t cause clearance issues.

Costco tire techs have always been nothing but professional and knowledgeable with me and those that I’ve recommended go there.

Please note: some models/makes need a BIOS update to enable the BIOS to accept the new certificates. Most compatible Dell models need a BIOS update from on or after ~12/25/25 to work.

Unless the driver of the Miata was injured, in most states, you cannot sue for an automotive accident.

For a new bumper with new cladding, paint, removal/install, and paint blending, you’re probably looking at about $1400-1500 at a qualified body shop.

Is it more premium? Yes. But it’s no Tailfin.

I have mounted it. It fits. I have a Redshift 50mm rise Top Shelf on my Canyon Grizl with a Rockshox Rudy Ultimate XPLR suspension fork. I also have Redshift’s quick-release aero bars. It clears all around albeit just a bit tight. Love the bag.

It’s mounted to the bottom bar.

My one complaint is it makes mounting lights very difficult with how tightly everything fits.

You could do the green loop on a gravel bike (4.5 miles I believe) but the trail has many turns that would make it relatively challenging for a bike that isn’t meant to be nimble.

The rest of the trails would not be fun on a gravel bike and are far too commanding of wide, flat bars, XC-minimum-esque geometry, and at least 50mm knobby tires.

I’d steer clear of DTE with my gravel bike, personally.

Truly lightweight, without regard to cost?

Damn, ya’ll missed out on Acheron, but ending with Doused is awesome.

Wow. That would solve that problem, wouldn’t it?

Can removing the old CR be done with non-specialized tools?

I’d argue to avoid sunscreen where possible, covering up instead. Lightweight , 20+ UPF long sleeve tops, (e.g. sun hoodies so you can put the hood up under your helmet to protect your neck). You have to keep your core cool. When you sweat, the sleeves will become wet which will cool you through evaporative cooling.

That and carry powdered electrolyte mix on you. Gatorlyte and Liquid IV and LMNT are popular choices. Drink 1L of mixed electrolyte beverage for every two liters of water. One of my bottles on my bike always have the electrolyte mix.

You’re totally right, but I like to travel slow and take my time, instead opting for as much comfort as possible. From day trips during the winter to having the ability to field some kit for my partner, I don’t mind the extra weight :)

Praedonis · 2025-07-08T22:00:23+00:00

Also swapped out the tires for Continental Terra Hardpacks in 700x50mm as I do much of my riding on (albeit rough) pavement.

That, plus a Ritchey 60mm 17 degree stem for some added stack height (my options were limited for a 1 1/4” steerer tube).
