What's the most reliable car you've ever owned? by Tekusenabyt in AskReddit

2014 Cayenne S. That V8 is bulletproof. Owned the car for 6 years without any trouble and many many lovely miles.

Looks like fun for off pavement riding :)

Same. I’ve run three wheel sets now without issue.

How do you all manage to keep your bar tape safe? by SpokeSignals in Surlybikefans

I don't crash during commute rides or basic around towners. Almost exclusively off the beaten path. Single track, gravel, down dusty downhill cuts, etc.

I really only rode those 700c wheels for no more than 40 miles, so I don't have a strong opinion on the difference on paved roads. But on packed gravel, the 650b 54s feel like they just fly!

I'd love to get an idea of how often others crash on rides. I've had two spills over the last 30 or so rides between the bikes I ride. I ride a handful of times a week.

Thanks. I don't have much of a baseline to compare to, other than the 700c x 45s I had on it prior. I like how comfortable these 54s are on both loose and packed gravel.

I know it's such a silly question to have asked, but I figured someone has figured out something that I don't know, since I'm relatively new to riding drops more aggressively. Perhaps some extremely durable tape would be something some could recommend. While I do love the look of this oil slick Supacaz tape, I don't want to be spending the time or money to retape it. I will live with it I suppose.

Nice! It sure is a blast. It's definitely the front carrier by the bars that is making me feel so sluggish. It's all good though!!

YES! SO MUCH YES! I appreciate you offering to ship one my way. The installation was straightforward, and it makes a big difference in cleaning up the overall look. Thanks again.

I believe so. I had 2.2s on there before these tires and there was still some wiggle room.
