unPAved Pennsylvania- anyone else doing it?

[The Kalmyk]

Here is a link with some more detailed information for planning purposes. I bought a day pass at the Miller Center to take a shower afterwards for those leaving Sunday night. Too long of a drive home for me to sit in the grime.

Signed up for the 90 mile, but realized I actually need a bike with more than one gear and skinny tires for this. Just sold my spot and booked a weekend at the Shenandoah MTB Festival instead.

Dude!!! I want to go!!

I'm interested in a spot for the 90 if anyone wants to transfer.

In for 90. What kind of tires is everyone planning on running?

I was just gonna post the same thing. I have 35s. I thinking of changing to 38s (mostly to have a bit more bite on the long descents).

Opinions anyone?

 

[jdgang]

i have 35 as well....thinking about 40's

40 seems to be the way to go. Was on the Riding Gravel forum also

 

[The Kalmyk]

Front- 42mm
Rear- 38mm


Done. I’m not spending another minute of mental bandwidth thinking about it.

Yeah. I don't have a gravel bike. I'm gonna slap some 42mm Specialized Pathfinders on it to see what that's like and maybe ride it like that.

Yeah 2.4 are fun but not when your looking at the backs of people who would normally be looking at your back.

Don’t think my bike will take 40s think 38s are the limit. So gonna slap those on and hold on tight on the descents

Splitting hair between 38 and 40 anyway imo. If you’re not tubeless I would prolly spend more time focusing on tire pressure.

Not worried about that. This will just be a taper ride for Iron Cross.

This will just be a taper ride .

Damn Dude

Damn Dude

Jim is not of this world, you know that dude...

 

[Steve Vai]

Hey, maybe I'll see the front of this ride now. Instead of putting Pathfinders on my Spearfish, I just bought another bike. So much easier building an entire new bike than swapping tires. ??????
