    picked the Cutthroat up in 2016, first gen. To this day, it's still my favorite bike.
    I have 2.3" tires on it here, but I have a lightweight gravel wheelset with 700x50 GravelKing SKs that I use...

    just shy of 50 down a pretty long, fairly steep straightaway on my 2020 Tarmac. Felt rock solid. I keep inside of my knees pressed against the frame to help "hold" it. I can't do the super tuck...

    My cyclocross bike is full carbon. I ride it in the rain, snow, and freezing cold. Zero issues.

    the "mid-year" shipment of bikes never happened. Shops are sold TF out. I'm not saying your LBS isn't dicking you around, just that the bike shops have been getting absolutely slammed due to COVID,...

    da'fuq?!? You have ENVE SES 3.4s don't you? What size tire are you using that rolls with 110?
    you're not tubeless, are you?

    I have tubeless 28c on the AR Discs, so 75 psi rear is as high as I go...

    You mentioned you carry a lot of weight on your bike and that you have a 48-11 and sometimes find yourself trying to find another gear.

    Check out the Sheldon Brown Gear Calculator

    JFC...dude, 4k in 23 miles?!?!?



    hell yeah, congrats!

    how come you gave up the triathalons?
    As for the "hard tail vs. full suspension" debate, I'll weigh in on my own $0.02
    Hard tails tend to be notably lighter, and the less expensive the bike, the...

    I got my wife an electric bike. It might be one of the best decisions I've ever made.
    It's a pedal-assist Cannondale Synapse NEO.
    She LOVES IT.

    She rides it to work twice a week (and rides her...

    truthfully I was thinking of a mountain bike.
    Bikes like this are commuters with "fake" suspension forks (Suntour 63mm?)



    road bikes frequently have the following type of gearing:...

    Mountain biking on trails is almost never limited by gearing, it's limited by skill (and lack or presence of gravity being in your favor).
    Most peeps don't use their MTBs on the road, and 3x...

    the answer to this is always "yes". Even if you bought a new bike yesterday.



    No manufacturers of any mountain bikes in a good 5+ years have made anything higher than about 36 up front. 3x...

    yeah. A lot of the excessive criticism is just typical gatekeeping. "You're not a real cyclist", ego type ish. I don't care what you ride, if the other person riding is cool, then leave them...

    Roval C38s are quite good for the $$$, but have you seen ENVE's new Foundation Road collection? $1600 for 45mm depth road wheels, <1600g. They're a little bit lighter, deeper and about $400 more...

    You rode your bike.
    You qualify.
    Welcome aboard!



    oh damn, it's officially cancelled for this year, eh?

    yeah, Taylor Phinney had a rough time to say the least. What is weird is that his teammates Lachlan Morten and Alex Howes finished 3rd and 4th on the same tires (I think)

    yup. I've had real good success with Specialized Pathfinders and have just begun using Vittoria Terrano Dry. The Terrano Mix are great for CX, they roll fast but give good grip and manage to drop...

    GravelFling SKs are great tires for hardpack. Just make sure you're not behind someone else who has them :)

    yeah, sub-16 is ludicrous. It's basically an S-Works Tarmac with an Expert frame and UDi2 instead of DADi2. The ENVEs are a little heavier than Roval CLX32s (but lighter than the CLX50s)
