No where near a Gold Standard for this level of event. The Worlds most prestigious gravel race website is severly inadequate. The participant should expect that the orgainzation clearly defines what their race is or is not and what is expected on the event website. Participant personal responsibiity, know what you are getting into first just start with the name of the event and the website. So let’s exam the following points almost a week later… After listening to AACC 420… as and talked about some aspects of the of the Worlds greatest gravel race. And carry a bottle of synergetic! I would have DNF’d at mile 15-17 without the bottle.Ĭontemplating all the madness regarding Unbound "The worlds largest most famous and most prestigous gravel race. Lesson for me: if I ever do unbound or any potentially heavy mud race/ride again, carry the bike even more until it is fully clear. Did anyone else have this issue? I’m wondering if the narrower 13speed chain makes this more likely? Fine after that to water oasis at 124 when I pulled the plug.Īnyway I saw Ben Delany had a similar problem with his SRAM chain and crank. Got to CP1 and hosed down and reapplied synergetic. Finally got it to stay on and was too scared to shift so single speeded for about 5-10 miles. Spent 30-40 minutes cleaning scrubbing washing (with Gatorade ) and literally a 1/2 a bottle of synergetic. ![]() Half a crank and the chain would drop inside.

As I said in an earlier post, I thought most of the course had surprisingly good gravel relative to expectations (the 47s helped also!), so the tires didn’t get a beating. Almost like new once I cleaned all the dirt off. Tires (pathfinder 47s) look remarkably good. Only a few frame scratches - isolated scrapes from where small stones went between the tire and the frame, mainly on the front fork.īrake pads OK. Haven’t measured the chain yet, but probably will need to replace that also. The plastic derailleur jockey wheels look like they need to be replaced. I cleaned the bike today to inspect for damage. This kept the chain surprisingly quiet, despite the chain getting a constant spray of wet grit from the front tire. At water 2 and aid 2 I sprayed the chain with water to get all the grit off, wiped down with a rag, and applied Silca synergetic. Then the rain started and the chain got really noisy, especially in the big cassette cogs. Chain was making a little noise at water stop 1.īrushed the dust off the chain quickly at water stop 1 and applied Tru Tension Tungsten. Waxed chain to start with Silca hot melt.
