Wow, DJ in 10th at the end of unbound on mtb tires. Man, Conti and Felt will be out of stock soon! Thanks John Tomac! You changed the gravel world into a bunch of mtbers! And Chase was in the 1st breakaway with that disk wheel. Holy crappoli!

I’m pretty sure John tomac has absolutely nothing to do with gravel racing today. But what I know is who you’ll be thinking about later in the bathroom and how he his Mtb setup had changed the face off off road racing.
Not the fact that so many innovators of the sports had put countless hours of testing various setups to find the fastest and most efficient which happened to be yours truly. Maybe John tomac is the spirit of gravel IMO

Just remember. His downhill course was equivelant to larger cross and long lane(gravel)…mindblown! Like we are watching back to the future!

Did you see their story? They just went to Walmart and bought beach cruisers when the got to Emporia. Then they spray painted them and set off. All 3 guys finished the 200 before a lot of people I know on serious bikes 😂

They finished 827th, 720th, and 719th of 900 finishers.
You know some very slow people.

So they beat at least 200 "serious" gravel racers, on overpriced 80's mtb meets '24 road bike hybrids, with spay bombed Wally World beach cruisers. And probably had way more fun and laughs than whoever won. These guys are freak'n heros in my book !
Yeah, I loved it. Nothing wrong with finishing after them either, not everyone is pushing for a sub 10 hour finish out there. Everyone lining up for Unbound is awesome.

for what it's worth, i beat them on my repurposed 2011 Trek Xcal hardtail MTB with surly moloko bars so there's that!
but that said, i'm still looking at buying a new gravel bike! 😂
Should at least list the size and pressure along with your weight.
Keep going down in 5psi until it feels great. If you flat, add 5psi.
