This is all good advice and should get OP to get the bike up and running.

That is very good point about the climbs, didn't even think about that.

I never do jumps so thankfully that has been a non-issue :)

This is pretty good idea, thank you! What pedals are you using? Do you you find that clipless pedals grip enough on the flat side?

I'm usually riding what would be called trails. Some ups and downs, natural rocky and rooty terrain. No jumping.

I think I'm probably going to test out my gravel pedals for a loop or two and see how it feels before purchasing anything :)

 

My trusty flat Five Tens are at the end of their life and I'm in need of new shoes. I ride SPD with my gravel bike and think my current clipless shoes for that are amazing.

That gets me to think maybe I should just ditch my flat pedals on mtb and get clipless. But I'm a little hesitant because of added risk of falling.

If you ride clipless on mtb or especially if you ride it both gravel and mtb, do you have any tips or thoughts to share?

Yeah it's seems to be something else. And oh is it bugging me now when I don't know.

Mine seemed to be 6 cup version. It holds about 300ml of water and the gasket was 71ml in diameter :)

Filling it to the safety valve it holds little over 300ml of water. Filling it to the brim it will hold about 440ml of water.

Edit: 6 cup version seems to be 300ml in size not 250ml. Also the diameter of the rubber matches.

I'm still confused what the stamp means, even though it doesn't matter.

I will try this. Do you fill it up to the safety valve or to the top?

 

Like the title says. I have 2012 Moka Express and the stamp in the bottom says "10" but can't seem to find 10 cup version anywhere.

You already have it. Try?

 

As the title says. I'm planning on doing my first century in July. Several +50km rides behind me at the moment and averaging about 100km a week since spring. How much food should I pack? Do you guys use sports drinks etc for hydration? Any surprises I shouls know comparing the ride to shorter ones?

Thank you in advance :)

Sweet bike and sweet looking place! Where is this? It looks so alien from my own trails, love that vibe.

 

It's getting warm finally!

 

Doing commuting all-year round with my Kona Rove ST. Studded tires on the winter, now almost naked summer setup with Receptors.

 

Participating in my first ever event next week. Not really a race race but I'm still getting all excited for it. Wish me luck.
