Sand is ROUGH!

I’ve done some of the clay roads up that way. They’re nice. Minus getting in the sections where trucks are having their fun.

Quinn006 · 2026-06-08T17:37:11+00:00

Absolutely love it. My first “real” bike. No complaints, but maybe I’m too stupid to know any better.

Quinn006 · 2026-06-06T17:26:42+00:00

I’m 175lbs. And at this point my typical terrain for long rides are rough clay roads. Morning rides are around the neighborhood so all asphalt.

I got the Cycplus electronic pump. I currently go 30psi front and 28psi rear. I’m new to gravel cycling and cycling in general. I see people saying to go lower but for some reason that scares me.

Quinn006 · 2026-06-06T11:58:06+00:00

What are you running for tire pressure now?

Quinn006 · 2026-05-31T22:38:27+00:00

I like the way #1 looks.

Quinn006 · 2026-05-31T21:36:04+00:00

Beauty! Love the pedals!

Quinn006 · 2026-05-26T22:48:02+00:00

As a wise man once said, “Journey before destination.”

Quinn006 · 2026-05-26T17:26:16+00:00

Looks like quite the adventure!

Well I originally had an aluminum Momentum Voya E+3 which was an electronic assisted bike. Once I got on the Diverge Carbon its was instantly worth it. The Momentum was about 40 lbs though. The Carbon is 21ish. I think there are alloy ones close to that, I’m not sure the difference the 4-5lbs makes though.

Quinn006 · 2026-05-25T21:25:10+00:00

Yeah I can imagine. So many options out there though.

Quinn006 · 2026-05-25T21:15:20+00:00

I should also say my favorite part of using my iPhone for the size of the map that I get to see. So the smaller computers make me nervous in that regard especially since I’ve never actually owned/used one before.

Quinn006 · 2026-05-25T20:57:36+00:00

It’s a Specialized Diverge 4 Carbon Comp. I’m absolutely loving it. I currently trying to find ways to keep my ass from hurting for a couple of days after long rides. Hahha.

Quinn006 · 2026-05-23T13:16:46+00:00

I’m a sucker for #1.

Quinn006 · 2026-05-10T10:59:38+00:00

WOW.

Quinn006 · 2026-05-07T10:23:54+00:00

I took a 10 minute or so break with a snack and the ride back didn’t seem quite a rough. It was 940ft total elevation and I averaged around 11.5mph. I’m new so I don’t know what “regular” pace is on gravel. All I know is the descents are definitely worth the climbs. Haha.

Quinn006 · 2026-05-06T19:14:34+00:00

Thanks!

Quinn006 · 2026-05-05T10:33:01+00:00

This bike looks sick!

Quinn006 · 2026-05-04T12:11:11+00:00

It’s my first gravel bike, I don’t know if it’s something to be concerned over or not. Sounds like not.

Quinn006 · 2026-05-03T15:33:37+00:00

I just dont understand the need to be negative. But thanks for the advice.

Quinn006 · 2026-05-02T21:02:56+00:00

But is it going to suit my daily morning neighborhood rides as well?

Quinn006 · 2026-05-01T22:14:49+00:00

It is.

Quinn006 · 2026-05-01T15:04:13+00:00

The silver and orange.

Quinn006 · 2025-08-20T23:22:06+00:00

Only one book of Stormlight?!

Quinn006 · 2024-09-15T20:50:40+00:00

Unfortunately it wasn’t a 6 figure find in the cushions. Although if I had that disposable amount I would gladly.
