One-bike-woman here. 17 year old Cannondale Caffeine. Used to have a full range of top-end mountain bikes from Klein Adroit to Manitou to Specialized's first fully, a Cannondale CAD race bike too. It has been many years since I raced and the old MTBs went to better homes. Still, the trusty old Caffeine goes where I want her to go, smooth on the trails with her ancient Headshok and hydraulics still working super well. So what if she's slow on the road and her wheels aren't as big as the big 29-er boys' wheels? We're in it together; I am slow too, turning 61 next time. My girl just got herself a spring make-over, Race King tires and Crankbros pedals, looking as pretty as ever, all polished and sleek. Maybe I'll get myself a new kit. We're not turning any heads, but we're not out to impress. If there is anywhere she can't go, it's probably for the best; I'd like to ride to 80 without breaking any more bones.

One bike here. It's apocalypse-ready, but has higher gearing to speed out of harms way when necessary. It has a 1x7 so the next logical step is to go to an 11 speed for more climbing capability, but that's not usually required here in florida.

Can confirm on the Gore Distance Winter Bib Tights+!! Those things have become my favorite tights and work well in a surprising range of temperatures. Maybe 20-50F? I used to have to wear over pants sometimes on winter rides up in western NY, but these things keep you surprisingly warm and dry! The fit and comfort are incredible, but my favorite part is the wind resistance. I am a certified sweater, so on wind rides I am always trying to optimize for “warm when wet” and I have never had to worry about that with these tights. They are solid and you can feel that in the quality of the material. Perfect mix of durable and stretch. Then I got a pair of Fizik Terra Artica GTX cycling boots and my toes never get cold anymore. A winning combo!!

I'd go XC on this ride. IMO a gravel bike is a road bike with trail pack tires. I currently don't see the need for them. They are great for getting roadies off of dangerous road and onto more peaceful trails. An XC bike would at least have some suspension for the rougher trails and you could lock it out for more pedaling efficiency on smoother surfaces. My bikes are very different and the choice is usually obvious. Aggressive hardtail trail bike, full squish ebike, or dirt jumper.
@TheJohnreeves Ай бұрын
It's always a conundrum. I have a Surly Ghost Grappler, which seems most like that Cutthroat (but steel) and a Surly Midnight Special, and it's always hard to decide. Really, the midnight special does pretty much everything (more if I put even *slightly* knobby tires on it). But the Grappler just feels like it can go anywhere. And its lowest gear can really climb which is sometimes a deciding factor. I just don't want to ride it 20 miles on pavement to get there. So I usually end up on the other one.

I have a rigid steel-frame Sycip drop-bar 29er running Shimano 1x on full boost spacing with a dropper post and an Enve MTB fork. It's magic, and it's custom because I have a 37" inseam. If you ever some to NorCal I'll show it off to you!

@mrvwbug4423 Ай бұрын
I'm in the "one bike to rule them all" club, that bike is a 160/170 travel enduro bike. I primarily ride singletrack but use one bike for everything from big XC pedal days and gravel rides to full send bike park laps and steep gnar. The sky high stack height and not insanely steep seat tube angle (unusual for an enduro bike) actually makes it comfortable for big pedal days. If I were to add a second bike I would be between an XC bike or a gravel bike.

Deek you know I have an all-conditions collection and I'm ready to throw down on anything but having done a number of builds to explore and achieve the best "one-does-MOST" setup I can tell you this: If you want your cake and ice cream (trail capable and road fast) It comes down to tire and wheel choice. Ideally you want a round tire profile. This makes for a more pronounced center profile. The way to achieve this is decreasing the rim width. I don't know what combo you have on the Cuttie in this vid but based my guess is a 29x2.6 on a 30 or 40 mil wide rim. The profile at 7:22 looks very square. Run that same tire on a 21 ID or even 19 ID. That bike will not only be faster but more agile. Another plus is you can drop some pressure for trail and still have a great handling bike. With a square prof handling goes out the door real fast. And no the tire is not going to rip right off the rim as soon as you look at it (I have two bikes with 3"ers on 21 ID wheels!). I think on my Beast I'm running 2.8's on 21 ID wheels. I know I've been beating this horse and my horses (and loving the way they ride) for years but others are starting to come around. Spindatt recently did a vid extoling these same virtues. Drivetrain is another point of interest and though I'm not down with big gaps at least in your situation with light bike and being light I don't think that matters as much. In the end whateves! Live and let ride!
@TheJohnreeves Ай бұрын
Good tip. My Ghost Grappler has 40mm rims and indeed, the tire is square, and feels like it. That might be the next thing I try changing. Even 30mm would probably make a difference from there.
@racerx8410712 Ай бұрын
@TheJohnreeves "The tire is square and feels like it." YES! My first experience with this negative handling characteristic was through fat biking. I aquired a set of 26x4 Schwalbe Jumbo Jim's and swapped out my favored 26x4.8 Maxxis Minions as the JJs were lighter. Though only .8" smaller they were much smaller than the Minions (chalk it up to aspect ratio perhaps). Mounted on the defacto 80mil wide rim, the profile was noticeably more square, and it only took one ride to realize the difference in handling. Pumped up, they weren't half bad, but that was in favorable conditions. However, dropping even a small amount of pressure resulted in poor, sluggish handling. A square profile equates to a "low pressure range" (my term). In other words, the setup has a limited amount of adjustability through pressure. And if you're riding a full rigid, being able to play with pressure means a lot as it's your only means of suspension and absorption. Round it out my fiends!

I would go with Ron's Bike for this route. Not enough control on the downhills with the dropbar for me. I own a hardtail XC bike and a gravel bike. My gravel is my go to for easy gravel roads and concrete. My XC is for the hilly woods and single tracks around the house.

@mrvwbug4423 Ай бұрын
IMHO the ultimate "not sure what to expect" bike is an XC bike, efficient enough for road and gravel, will easily handle all but the gnarliest singletrack. The only hitch might be one with particularly racy geo, though I can't imagine it being too much more aggressive than a sporty gravel bike or pretty much any road bike, and you can always set them up in a more comfort oriented "downcountry" setup with higher stack and a little more squish.

Currently one bike: Brompton H6R, it can handle a lot of a mixture of road and mild off-road tracks over the last 12 years and 10,800 miles. Project bike: 1994 Kona Cindercone, the object is to make it more of an upright ride position, less 130mm slammed racer stem and more 90mm 6 degree rise w/100mm riser 600mm wide bars, I’ve got most of the bits for a 1x8 drivetrain, but currently procrastinating over whether to fit a Sturmey-Archer 3-spd IGH for low-maintenance. With Sheldon’s gear calculator I get the 1st, 3rd & 5th (28.2”, 44.2” & 69.5”) I get with my Brompton and they’re the gears I ride the most. With that forest and all those ferns, I was kinda expecting to see an Ewok or two at some point. Just saying. 😂
