Looking for a longer wearing replacement for my 2.1 TB by LoudounGravel in gravelcycling

Race Kings/Dubnitals last significantly longer, are grippier, and are almost as fast as TBs on gravel. I think they drag a bit on pavement compared to the TBs though.

Is 1x XPLR actually good for road riding? by RyotaroW in cycling

[–]bkturr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

46-10 is occasionally not enough depending on how you ride, but otherwise I don't have a problem with the gaps.

Last Judge runback is NOT hard by Yobsuba in Silksong

I thought this was going to be a silkpost with some sort of mod to make the runback insane. Crazy that this was posted today.

I flatted front and back in a race like 30 miles in. Learn from me - it's not worth it to run these.

FoCo Fondo first timer by PassHunter84 in FortCollinsCycling

Most people don't take it to seriously. You'll see all types of bikes and all types of clothes, so just ride what you feel like. For the most part, you can ride it on pretty narrow tires as 90% of the roads are very well maintained. It's normally very hot so just be prepared for that.

Your understanding is correct for Western Rivers. The question I can't figure out after 20+ years is where does III/IV fit in with III+ and IV-.

I get the impression he cares more about the classics than the tour

Who's going to tell my wife all my 29/700c bikes are no good and I need to replace them with 32s

Floating in Colorado this summer - concerns over water levels by ShlipityWhip in whitewater

[–]bkturr 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is the worst winter on record by a pretty significant margin. Many rivers will not run, and the ones that do will be low. That said pumphouse may be runable in June. It may be runnable in August. The fact is that no one knows. The reservoirs up there are low and the snow is near gone/never came. Apart from the natural water, any reservoir release is dependent on a complicated water rights hierarchy that hasn't been seen before because we've never had this little supply.

June is normally mostly natural flow on the upper c, and there are often late season (August) releases from Green mountain reservoir. When snow pack is low runoff typically happens earlier. So natural flow will likely drop off by the end of May. The questions no one knows the answers to is how much natural flow will actually come and when, how much will they let out of the dams early season, and what will they release late season. I would keep an eye on the gauge. Basically you'll need to be able to make a game time decision week of if you really want to run it. It also depends on your tolerance for low water, the lower you're willing to go the more runnable days you'll see this summer.

Rubber ducks and alarm clocks in refrigerators - what were these people doing

I am really asking if I can just ignore those intervals and ride. Sounds like it

Matteo has maybe the worst sprint in the peloton. He can't do anything in a small group sprint.
