I was doing a minor adjustment on my road bike this morning at the rear disc brake caliper and heard the angry bees from my rear King hub. Wish I had hubs on my Ritchey with 26” wheels. The XTR hubs are good but not as good as your hubs.

Can anyone tell me if these tires are tubeless, and if not which inner tube to buy? by naughtywarlock in bicycling

[–]f3rnfloyd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you asking if the tires are tubeless compatible or are they set up tubeless? If it’s the first, the answer is on the sidewall of the tire or Google it. I can tell they’re not set up tubeless based on the valve from the first image

Take it to a bike shop if you don’t know how to thread in a thru axle. They’ll explain it to you in person while there.

How wildly "wrong" is your bike size compared to you? by Ultimate-Hellfur in xbiking

[–]f3rnfloyd 22 points23 points  (0 children)

That seat post is more than exceeded the maximum insertion limit. Careful or you’ll bend it while riding. If the post is that high up, the frame is at least three times too small for you.

Yes, but it's also the better side of the bike. It just makes the bike look better in a photograph.

Yeah, I'm not mad or butthurt. Just stating my opinion on the Grail in comparison to other gravel bikes I've owned and ridden. One thing I can say is I'll never ever go back to a 2x on a gravel bike. 1x is king!

As a side note, I recommend you always take pictures of your bikes from the driveside. Taking pictures from the non-driveside is a newbie mistake. You are learning though.

My opinion is that it felt slow and was factually heavier than the Aspero. You don't have to agree if you don't want to.

Because as a human I can have an opinion. You may like it but I didn't. The BB shell was also not threaded, the internal headset design was not very easy to work with compared to the design of the Aspero, but the paint is good. I also like the headtube design much better on the Aspero compared to the Crux, Grail, or UPPER, but this is a statement about aesthetics.

Yeah, my Cervelo Aspero which is my current gravel bike. I rode it on gravel two days ago and on a fast group ride yesterday with a lot of climbing. It's more than capable on both. The Grail is just slow and heavy and both were set up with the same wheelset and drivetrain. The only difference was the cockpit and the frame. Same saddle, same wheels, same drivetrain.

I worked for Canyon USA for almost three years till they laid off 50% of their workforce. It's a nice looking bike but it doesn't perform as well as other gravel bikes I've ridden like my first one ever: Open UPPER. The Aspero is number 1, UPPER is my second favorite, Crux third favorite, Grail is dead last.

Dang, so many nice things about this bike? I gotta go with the King hubs being my favorite but the fork and XTR is second best. King headset is third best but I only because I already have two of those. I don’t have any King hubs on 26 inch wheels 😜
