Blackburn big switch, picked it up recently and really like it. Seems to be well thought out and stows in a wallet that goes well in shorts pocket.
Big Switch
The Goodyears still had life left but I’ve been doing much more ride to the ride and I don’t like them on pavement. Ardents are better in that regard, probably go to lkons eventually
you just gotta shralp dat berm with some steez brah!... nah jk new tires I adjust psi where all my weight on the heel of my hand on tire gives about halfway/three quarters to rim compression on tire. Then measure, ride and adjust as needed. Cornering I exaggerate lean to determine break point and then work from there Wahla 😀
Welcome txtraining!
i’d recommend the fork in the link below, it’s an upgrade and being an air fork you can adjust it to your preferred stiffness

way back 2012ish I could ride Deception (1/4 notch) on my Cross\gravel grinder bike. there's no way now, either i'm just too soft now or there've been a lot of changes over the years
what height would these new drops be considered on snail? like the one that crosses over the middle now, the elbow one and the one on high line. I'm guessing the original drops down the middle line are considered 2 footers?
