Is this going to delay the Eurobike reveal of the aero gravel frame?

No, the frame is here and will be build up next week.

Tire Clearance on Evolve Cima GR: (Photos: https://www.facebook.com/groups/975602387895509/posts/1339069638215447)

With a 40.69mm measured tire, I have 11.92mm of space on EACH side on the back wheel. With 4-6 mm of space around the tire, this allows you to go with any gravel tires I am aware of that are 50-622. Going larger on the back will be determined by whether you have a 2x and the tread type you are putting on.

Is it going to fit the big Thunder Burts or MTB tires on the back? No.

Will it fit the Dubnital on the back? That will depend on your rims.

50s easily fit on the front... with the same tire on the front, I had 13.00mm on each side. IF you felt the need to go big with tires, you could run larger on the front than the back, of course. IMHO, when truly on gravel or single-track, you should be doing that anyway!

Re: XMCS: 2026 Aero Gravel bike The GRT and me did a 160km Gravel race in Belgium with lots of climbing and descending.

On the descends and downhills it really is a weapon. I was picking up people left and right. Shame there is no magic bullet for the climbs  😄.

Re: Community driven bicyle tire width measurements - rubbersideup.cc Hi all,

I have added a tool that estimates your tire width based on nominal width and internal rim width.

It's under the /estimate tab.

Re: Light Cycling Just wanted to share a few photos of my new LightCycling Surge RF03.

I haven’t actually ridden it yet, so this isn’t a ride review. It was only finished on Tuesday, but the photos came out too good not to share.

I’m a race promoter in Seattle and wanted to build something custom using our race branding. Daniel Zang from LightCycling introduced himself early in the process and was fantastic to work with. Super communicative, worked closely with his designer to get the custom paint exactly where I wanted it, and then turned everything around and shipped the frame incredibly quickly.

The frame itself was also awesome to build. The carbon finish is immaculate, inside and out, everything lined up perfectly, and every component fit the first time with no issues.

Really happy with how it turned out. Now I just need to actually ride the thing.

It was finished Tuesday and I’m planning to put plenty of miles on it this weekend. Can’t wait.
