Love steel. I still have my Trek 930 from 1991 that I adapted for touring. It is a beautiful lugged frame! I upgraded every component over time and it's been to Europe twice along with several long tours of the western US.

What guys are your opinions on Eastern Bikes Alpaka 29" Lightweight MTB Mountain Bike ?

Can you upgrade the rear suspension shock to something better?

Ok you've convinced me to sign up even though itll take me 2.5 days to drive there.

I have a 2022 Kona Rove DL and I really like it. Rides nice and I can do just about anything with it.

Don't know if I can spend 15k on a bike in the city to have it ripped in 15 minutes.

Why is quick release a bad thing? Would happy to learn

As my teacher back in 2017 , your a source I trust 🤘

you forgot kona and giant options.

You need to add the Salsa Confluence to this list.

Just get the posiden norton. It beats all of these bikes for the money.

If use tube inflate to max pressure 50lbs.

Inner tube not really enough pressure my guess .

I have you ridden any of these? It seems like you're just reading what you've found on line

The word "budget" has lost it's meaning.

Nice meeting you I subscribed

Agree with other comments. I’ve had this happen probably a dozen times over 35 years of cycling. When your core gets to a certain temp, blood flow is restricted to your extremities and you are DONE! It only gets worse from there! It can be dangerous, I’m glad you’re ok!

Nice review. I have a 1.5 L USWE and I feel like I could easily carry 2 L. The pouches on the front pack straps also would be real helpful

Man. This is how Unbound 100 went for me. I stop being able to keep anything down at mile 90 after getting cooked. Puked at the water oasis and then again at mile 105. But finished. Legit thought I was in a really bad way.

not sure if you saw Dylan Johnson's Unbound recap, but he did some very interesting things for "heat management" as he called it. He carried multiple bottles of water, the purpose of which was strictly for dumping on his head. His drinking water was in a large USWE bladder, filled with icewater. He had a crew bringing him fresh bladders.

I'm sure you know Lynskey. If you search for Titanium bikes on RUclips or just a web search it will give you Lynskey, ...but you chose to feature lesser-known brands except for Litepeed and Moots.

wow that's a crazy story. I did 110 at FNLD GRVL last wknd and it was like 60 deg the whole day. Sounds very different from the weather on your day.

as someone who owns this bike ill give my experience. 1. their customer service is actually amazing and they are easy to get in touch with. 2. the stock components are pretty meh... I immediately swapped out my derailure (sram rival) and my cassette (pg1130) because of chain drops and clunky shifting. With the sram additions the bike is surgical in its shifting and should honestly just come with these as a built in option while adjusting the specs on the order page. The HYDROLLIC brakes on the newest 4130s are good the older style mechanical ones have been quoted as being "irresponsibly dangerous".....take that for what it is. 3. Make sure you get your wheels tuned up right out of the gate. They WILL. NOT.. BE.. TRUE! No ifs ands or buts about it. Save yourself the hassle of many broken spokes. just get it done at the shop and ask that it be included in the set up fee. The bike is heavy but not horrendous...it is listed as CroMo but there is no information about the type of CM they use or butting etc. so I wouldn't expect Surly or better build quality however the frame hasn't given me any issues. and to cap it off... the stock seat sucks, the seat post is heavy as balls, the handlebars are decent and lastly the geometry for this bike is not exactly what id call the best for anything other than light gravel. In no ways should you be riding this as a mtb but you will pedal strike like mad even on pretty mellow gravel with just a few unexpected rocks. Would I buy this bike again? Probably not.... Is it good for a beginner.... maybe is it a nice bike to look at..... yeah it is.

Everyone complaining should make your own damn video. Stop the whining and show some gratitude. Geeez.

im am searching for 27.5 3.0 tires. only 2.8 available...

Just got an izzo and love it and they were accurate as its fast

Did you get poison ivy? you climbed right into it.

Broooo... I've cramped like this before. Just gotta say, you needed pickle juice! The salt, the variety of flavor... it's the biggest thing to keep with you. I always have a little plastic bottle of pickle juice for when I used to ride long distances.

Cuuuuck!

I get the move from the relay format but man I loved it. Made for a really fun & unique race.

Bravo Ty. We have all been there. Good push getting thru

Be careful pushing through cramps and nausea. I pushed through about 20 miles of them at the Hotter Than Hell gravel ride last year and spent the night in the hospital after finishing. I had almost given myself rhabdo, which can be life threatening. Listen to your body! You do not want rhabdo. Met y'all at Ro3, keep up the great content!

This hard !

Dang, glad you were able to get that good hydration in you and complete the ride.

Man that looked rough. Glad those folks were around and helped you or. btw…how did that dog keep cool in the van…?

Best wrestling coach in the world Coach McNeal, he’s been a huge part of my life since I started wrestling. Best people you could’ve met!

BIG DIG! good work at least no horse flies!?

Amazing job Ty‼️ Way to persevere‼️🙌

Honestly great news that they are moving away from a relay into more of a traditional ride. The relay thing seemed fun, but spreading the field out makes for less fellowship. I’ll definitely sign up for the 80 next year, those are beautiful Missouri gravel roads. Great area to ride a bike!!

I have bought from them and think they are great. You on the other hand have my doubts...

Was that a <10 person start line? Also check out the salt pills from Precision Fuel and Hydration.

Wow! Way to stick with it and work through the cramping!

You were experiencing symptoms of heat exhaustion. Me teammate and I started with you that morning. We hydrated well the day before the race and carried 2.5 liters of fluid on the first lap and 3.5 liters on our second lap. On the second lap we both ran out of water for a period of time. Stopping and eating the way you described also may have contributed to your heat exhaustion. Heat management and preparation is key when temps are in the triple digits. I'm glad you are okay and was able to finish! Thanks for the video!

Went out of a 40 mile ride in KC, almost died with the heat! those miles felt worse than the 100 mile unbound!

Glad you’re ok. Cramps are awful. Heat ain’t no joke.

Missouri heat is a true killer. Glad you made it out alive.

Looks pretty and pretty easy!

I know it probably came out after this video, but I love my LeMond Prolog AR, the lightest gravel ebike currently for sale at 28lbs. Mahle rear hub, hidden battery in down tube, and carob frame, bars, stem, seatppost. Mahle has less torque than mid drive systems, but it’s a completely normal bike if the battery dies.

Great review. + a few personal experiences from long races and bikepacking: - get 3 for events like Unbound 200 so your start and each SAG is ready to roll with all hydration, nutrition and supplies. Never forget your night lights again at sag 3… - works well with drink mixes or good to have plain water option with mixes in bottles. Wear under jacket during winter. - doubles as a nap pillow - keeps mosquitoes/flies off your upper back (especially if you spray it) - the bungee straps hold a c-store frozen burrito or winter jacket - the shoulder pockets are great for soft items like chamois butt’r, wet wipes, etc.

Thanks for this review! Been thinking about this a while.
