Speaking of the Revolt, they added downtube storage last year, but sticking with the flip chip still.
Wow nice bike! Appreciate the info on your upgrades. Still light for all that you’ve done!
What top tube bag is that? I like it because it looks quite aero and bolt mounted instead of straps.
I would love to follow suit on the AXS dropper post too but my gravel rig is using the D post type. Curious if anyone knows a dropper in this configuration?
Arundel. I’ve had it for over 5 years and zero complaints. Zipper on top that can be opened with 1 hand and I like that it kind of stays together/closed even with the zipper open. Fairly waterproof, but will get some water in if it’s raining really hard for an extended period.
Just upgraded my Crux to an Allied Able. I loved the Crux but it is starting to get dated. My big items were to have Transmission and be able to run bigger tires. I also ran my Crux with a 44 chainring which was great most of the time but long steep climbs in Colorado could get a little spicy. I ended up going with a mullet setup and 46 chainring for the Able. Have only had a couple rides but so far it is amazing! It made me realize how dated the Crux is becoming and long overdue for an update (which I know is coming)
Otso potentially dropping a new gravel bike tomorrow. Might not be the most aero / race focused but they were ahead of the times with clearance (their current fits 2.1 and it’s 5+ years old I believe), so expecting another frame they can clear MTB tires for everyone list. I’m excited to see what it is as it’s on my shortlist along with the Crux revamp coming later this year. Nothing else really seems to be on the horizon as most big names have already released latest models within last year.

I believe Salsa is replacing the Warbird 3/12, only other on my radar.
Do you put cush cores in those tires? Thx
