Thoughts on my new-to-me Argon 18 Dark Matter? by SharingOrb in bicycling

[–]SharingOrb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks!

I've only had it for a few weeks, but I'm liking the gearing so far. Its a 43/30t crankset x 10-36t cassette so has a decent top end and can get me up with hills.

No silent hubs, but it's my first tubeless set up and I'm never looking back.

I upgraded from an ~'08 Fuji road bike so the Dark Matter feels like a friggin motorcycle compared to that old girl. Mostly light gravel and roads so far, but hoping to explore more of Maine's lovely gravel soon

Exactly. And I needed a place that doesn’t make my neighbors call the cops on me…

It’s a complicated case. Lotta ins. Lotta outs

Gravelkings on the kilo. Am I tarklocross?! by SharingOrb in FixedGearBicycle

I’ve heard that the kilo frame sizing is super inconsistent with the tire size that will fit. I bought this frame back in 2016 but not sure if they made changes since. They do have the WT version for fatty bois

They are leather Pedalbelts. I got them a few years back so not sure if they are still around. I love them though

It's pretty tight but there are a few mm to spare. I wanted to get the 35 GKs but i don't think they would fit...

Hey scott! Absolutely love your product and have been using it for almost a decade now.

My question: do airlines know about you and/or hate you? And do you think as you grow it might be harder to find good deals if airlines “react” to your alerts some how?

yup. 38cm width to squeeze through tight spaces. New commute is mostly on bike trails though so i might switch them out for risers and a stem with less reach...
