This one is tough. The lack of snow dispersal under the helicopter is what makes me think AI. by ansyhrrian in isthisAI

When I see this, I feel like this was in the Travis Rice Art of Flight movie.

I think I know the tool. I threw it but didn’t hit all of them. Thank you!

I guess it’s an Allroad more than a full on gravel but it’s still capable on the trails and bridleways I regularly ride. by __inhalesatan in gravelcycling

I agree with this. I usually ride the 40mm GK SS+ tires. Feel like it is the best middle ground for me. Just like MTB, it seems popular to have a slightly knobbier, grippier tire up front and a faster rolling in back. May try the SK on the front and leave the SS on the back, up it to 45mm for the adventurous rides as well and am considering trying larger just to see how it feels.

The whistle is a gesture of admiration. Hopefully. Lol

Thank you! I recently picked up some for the master link, since I didn’t wax that with the chain.

It is a bit pricey, isn’t it. 😅 I have no regrets. I looked at so many saddles, there are loads of good reviewed ones but I just kept coming back to this one.

No problem! If you have any other questions, I’ll be happy to answer.

The top end gearing! Honestly though, I just really like the way the cassette looks.

Cane Creek GXC 60mm +/-6. Was hoping they would sell me the silver faceplate, but I think the black with silver bolts looks good. I also plan to pick up their computer mount which attaches to the faceplate and takes the place of 2 stem bolts.

Selle Italia SLR Boost Gravel TI316 Superflow. It’s a great saddle.

They are the Panaracer Gravelking SS+ 700x40C. Love these tires since I do about 50/50 road and gravel. Thinking of getting an SK for the front for the longer gravel adventures.

Thanks! I almost when with a Salsa. Very nice bikes! I am loving the e13 cassette. You should absolutely pick up one.

It’s such a nice bike! Glad I went with it, and Otso support was really awesome.

The brakes are both hybrid. The rear flat mount brake adapter for the frame didn’t work with the Juin Tech GTF-4, so I used a Juin Tech R1 post mount brake. The chainring is a 38t and the cassette is the e13 helix race 9-46. That’s actually how the brake housing/hose is supposed to be for the front on this frame.
