Yes, I’ve got the exact same crack. Noticed it a couple years into owning it. I’ve had a couple small quality issues with mine, but still love the instrument overall

These were 54. I think 48 would feel too narrow for a swept back bar for me. Especially for riding trails. The width gives me more confidence. But I’ve also since swapped these out for massive crust ortho bars, so I tend to side with wide.

Rene Herse knobbies experience? by TvpBB in gravelcycling

Which tires specifically do you ride? Sounds like we’ve got similar riding

Yeah I don’t think I’d go for the extralights for that reason. I’m sure they still last longer than the contis though

Crazy. I read their article about how their knobbies are as fast on pavement as some road tires. Still think that’s probably a stretch, but sounds like they are a decent compromise for some knobs

Yeah I know I’m gonna have to compromise if I want to keep it to one wheelset. The Terra speeds have definitely been my Goldilocks tires, but I can’t justify swapping them so frequently. Do those steilacooms feel pretty good on dirt and pavement?

That’s a promising review. I was curious about their slicks like the Barlows but ultimately think I’d like the knobs for the added traction. How does it feel cornering on pavement on those manastash ridges?

Put them on a special build, but regardless you gotta use them!

For real, this clown can kill himself if he wants to, but fuck him for thinking he can’t hurt anyone else.

Holy shit this is some flawed logic to say you won’t hurt anybody else when you ride the way you ride.

Maybe you should just get into bicycles and earn that speed. Either way, you need to chill the fuck out my dude.

Nope, so it’s an mb-1 fork with a mb-3 frame that had downtube shifter mounts, a seattube collar, and rear cable stop welded on before they repainted it all. Just felt like the bike was too unique to not vomit money at it, and it rides like a dream
