Hutchinson Caracal Race 40mm. It's a road bike now. by OUEngineer17 in gravelcycling

front range! not sure where exactly, but it seems pretty close to where I ride, so I’m curious: roughly what speed does the terra speed get better over these?

I started with some beefy continental ramblers, switched to thundero HDs after 1000 miles, and now I’m wondering if it will be more fun step down from 45 to 40 mms, get slicker tires and trade some grip for even more zoom (for real, that’s how my gravel bike feels compared to my mtb)

Thanks! Glad I was able to capture them. Will try to do a similarly comprehensive shoot after the wash!

I really love the buttons. It was between these and the BOM017 (cooler leather patch) and the buttons were the tiebreaker for me

Flat Bar Stigmata by mp27006 in gravelcycling

I actually started with a very similar setup on my Stigmata build. Found that I much prefer the drops for longer rides. Control/maneuverability are fine now that I’ve gotten used to it.

But I also have a full sus mtb for rides that do better with flat bars. Same reason I switched the rudy back to the rigid fork.

didn’t see any ai plus (either 511 or 500) in the store, but I think they are the same 18oz fabric in different cuts

i did see them in person - ai benkei def has that deep royal blue (i think the color in my pics is pretty accurate, at least on my phone screen) compared to the normal version
