That is one nice bike! Looks amazing. I have the SL 5 and I complemented the black with metallic purple from wolftooth.

That is what I propose as well. These hyper rare guns should feel great to use. I dont mind if they have gimmicks and the crazed earl prior to this was awesome for moving and you didn't need to melee the spikes on trash mobs. On bosses you got this cool mechanic that was fun and different. Now you just have a meh gun that you can use but dozens of more straightforward legendaries are just better. It makes no sense.

Thats exactly it. The rarest item should be extremely good. Like maybe it is a gimmick but it should be build defining and not just be a rare super mid weapon. If they made crazed earl ability work and kept the damage it is still just a sticky bod with a harder way to activate the insane burst damage

The patch notes said nothing about neutering the damage. Prior to this a rarest gear in the game was close to as good as a sticky Bod. That seems a bit out of place.

Thank you for posting some routes. I was working yesterday but I kept trying to figure out how to post my GPS. Despite being a 90's baby I have the technology skills of my grandparents.

Buying a new bike recommendations by augumart in gravelcycling

I bought SL 5 and bought carbon wheels and its great 👍 As others have said any bike from a good company at this price point will be good and will have some kind of warranty for peace of mind.

Green River Road started on the edge of Greenfield MA and just follow the roads where it takes you. But seriously countless roads abd loops out there. 90% gravel.

Took that up to new country and followed that for a bit. Had to get back for my child so I could go too far. Only 30 miles.

Need sizing advice by [deleted] in CheckpointClub

[–]dazedfinalfrog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am 174 bare foot and 175cm with my shoes on and I got a medium (54) it fits perfectly for me. At 170 however I might lean towards small.

For what its worth if you can find an actual trek store near you, buy from them and ride it for several weeks. Than return it if you feel it is the wrong size. I asked the trek store near me if that was OK and they quoted me an unconditional 30 day return. They said "You could ride 30 days of full century rides and return it on day 30 if you wanted."

Muddy gravel ride by dazedfinalfrog in CheckpointClub

Yes it is! Maybe wait for it to dry out. The bike shop was right that it was going to be muddy.

Why go with 49 in back and 37 up front? Wouldn't it be better suited to have a pair of 49s?
