Dirty gravel! Beats me how they categorize this stuff, I took that off the
profile provided by the Almanzo 100 website. I categorize hills as
"pleasantly rolling, difficult, and painfully steep!"

Indeed. Surface matters. I've had paved hills I've had to walk up when
loaded, but never a spun out rear wheel. Loose dirt, absolutely a different
experience. I've walked hills I would otherwise make it up either because

The hole on the rear face of the crown is sort of like a standard one for

smaller hole (the one down in the recess) is the

As someone who actually used axes as a teenager, I can't see how
"artisianal" really adds anything to an axe's efficacy. I remember using an
"artisianal" axe in Kenya to cut through 2' branches trimmed from the trees
surrounding our house: it had been hand forged over a charcoal fire and

One thing to be aware of is the MUSA shorts use an elastic belt, not a
static(non stretching) one. This may or may not matter to you. For me it
was a no-go as I prefer a non stretching belt, or in the case of the
Baggies, a non stretching drawcord.

You know they come with a switch that turns the elastic off, right? You

The Nitto Tallux is the tallest quill stem . However, this does not allow
for the highest bars available, because the Tallux is a -17 degree stem .
Using a threadless quill adapter you can go higher because you can use 0

I love baggies and wear them all summer, but not for biking; I find them too
short. But I love the Patagonia Gi shorts and have done multi-day tours wearing
them and a Puckerwear shirt. Tough and comfy for warm weather riding.
