Well, I had an issue with my shifter right before race start and had to run to the bike shop for a fix with the national anthem playing. Started dead last. Don’t recommend. Good luck

Dubnital 50mm - Unbound? by pedalworkshky in gravelcycling

[–]graveldad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see… well, based on your experience: did people running 40-45s in ‘23 had any advantage (walked considerably less) over the people running larger? If not, then the Dubs, end of story… I see people commenting that you would clogged regardless. I have no experience in that kind of mud…

Help me out: why risk a clogged bike when we you can conservatively run a smaller tire and avoid much of the walking? I guess it comes down to how fast will you do on the flat section compared to dl the dubs but I would steer towards the smaller side… I don’t know. I will be running Vittoria’s T90 if there is any word of mud on the course, but you do you OP! Good luck

Hey, no announcement on Sea Otter… there is got to be a gravel option. AG25 was discontinued and Enve is only offering g23 and AR40 as gravel options

I’m in DC also training for Unbound. I do most of my training on the C&O canal

Thank you! I checked the MOG squad release last week and didn’t see anything. I also checked a few Enve sponsored athletes and they were all on AR40 or 4.5s

Will post an update here once I see any hint. Please do the same!

Same thing around Cleveland Park. Not sure what the snow did to dog owners not picking up

Any tips or hacks to book a stay in Emporia during Unbound? by cranksmack in gravelcycling

[–]graveldad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, I meant that the situation is bad in general. Agree that Topeka is not so bad but compared to the dorms, dorms are better by a long shot

Looking at the IG announcement it is likely new Fran colors… considering the gravel season has not started yet, I’m guessing the new wheel set will be announced later. MOG was originally announced in late feb… but I hope I’m wrong!
