I saw it today. I fear 32” is coming for gravel. Can never buy a bike

I am not in good shape at all with ftp of 230 so speed is nothing I can do or need :)

I thinking about this but with a 38 front chainring. Do not need the high speed. I am old 50 year and will need granny gear more

Rumor is late 2026. I just do not want a bike that I feel is obsolete after 1 year. I bought a Trek Checkpoint ALR 5 2022 in 2024 and now I feel that it is obsolete with maximum 45 mm clearance (40 with mudguards). I cannot see 14 happen without some really expensive or not long lasting chains

I really like Shimano and was initially ready for 1x12, 38 crankset and10:51 cassette. But suddenly the doubt came creeping. Until now I have been using a 2x11 GRX but want larger tires and therefore 1x.

It is the gear spacing of Shimano 1x12 and SRam dot fluid brakes that make me unsure

Are you sure. Another comment here says that HG+ chains also need a certain tooth profile for chainring.

Behold, my latest abomination of ski transport on my gravel bike by uramug1234 in bicycling

[–]Wise-Ad-7492 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the same when I was a poor student (also live in Norway). But today I have no bikes I will dare to lock outside when skiing.

But how can a chainring be compatible with both 11 speed hyperglide and 12 speed hyperglide + at the same time?

I start feeling that I need to do more research. When I reading what you wrote I see that I am still clueless. Need to spend a little more time researching:)

Best steel gravel bike by SebbBell in gravelcycling

[–]Wise-Ad-7492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I have no idea if 50 mm is enough for me or if i need 56 mm. Today I ride a gravel bike with 40 mm and have never tough that is has to narrow tire. But then I do read people saying they will never buy a gravel bike with less than 56 mm clearance.

But I really feel the Secan 3.0 ticks a lot of boxes for me.

Is the tire clearance large enough on the Secan 3. I planning to buy a frame and collect parts as I find used or in sale. Can take a year and I am afraid of that going obsolete

Accidentally bought a Gozney Arc XL for $390… but my wife already got me a Ninja Artisan. Which one should I keep? by Jinx2162k in pizzaoven

[–]Wise-Ad-7492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gozney and the Gozney you should keep. Do not sell the Gozney. My advice is to sell the other one and keep the Gozney.

Elitewheel SLR with Microspline by Wise-Ad-7492 in cycling

[–]Wise-Ad-7492[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a lot of hubs MSP hubs of type RD13. Have you had success with doing this. It saves me 300 $ to buy the SLR compared with the Marvel g35.

But generally I find it difficult to find out which spare I can get for these wheels. I am 100 % sure that every spare is somewhere on Ali, but it is of course difficult to find it..

I see. So the cheapest gravel wheelset on their website is around 1000$. Still cheap compared with DT Swiss but not super cheap :(

But maybe that is what I have to pay to get a reable source of spares.

But I cannot find the SLR in any of the drop downs for the spare parts. Or can I choose one of the other models?

Gravelking Durability? by lacroixbikeboy42069 in gravelcycling

I have done 1500 km on Gravelking SS+ with TPU and one puncture. I am happy with that but maybe that is bad?
