I am a little surprised that 45 mm tyres work better than smaller sized ones given the relatively high speed they are traveling. For example Mohoric won the Gravel WC 2023 on 40 mm tyres and that was a gnarly course.

I’m new to your channel and know this was your ride a few years ago. When I was in the Air Force, long ago, before going overseas we would deploy to Avon Park Air Station and set up mobile communications that included full runway and radar and would call in bombing strikes to the small range there. Not sure if it is still active.

No, that cassette is only compatible with Shimano HG. The clue is the 11T starting cog, and the separate lockring. All XDR cassettes start with a 10T, the lockring is part of the 10T cog.

I have gravel raced the FACTOR Vista and LS but decided to not get the OSTRO Gravel because of the geometry and cost. I went with the Scott Addict Gravel which is gives the FAF feeling as well for about $,3500 for complete bike. The OSTRO bike is defiantly fast and stretched out. If you want a top tier race bike and get the attention of the front pack this is the bike. The paint and carbon layup is just quality thus the high price tag.

I've had mine for about a year now and it's truly the do it all bike. I have two sets of wheels, one with gravel tires (Tufo Thundero 44mm) and one with road tires (Pirelli P-Zero 30mm), and just swap them depending on the ride. It's noticeably fast, comfortable, and versatile. Factor crushed it on this one.

@h18p 2 күн бұрын
@@MarkLRandall I find it to be quite comfortable, even when I was riding on 40's. I guess much of it is expectation. Is it as comfortable as my Warbird? Nope, but the difference isn't significant either. The geo and handling are sharp enough for road and not so sharp offroad that it feels unstable. This thing is planted. Honestly, tires and pressure will make a bigger difference (for any bike) and when I went up to the Tufo 44's from the 40's it was a massive difference.
