No, I have the normal 303 firecrest. Measures 53mm

Thunder Burts arrived on friday evening, so I installed them. Managed to fit them on the revolt with the flip chip still in the "short" position. Have around 4 mm clearance on each side of the tire to the frame. Probably not ideal for mud, so I will adjust the flip chip this week. Did two rides this weekend on mixed terrain. Bike felt slower, compared to the pathfinders. Definitely less "snappy" on acceleration. Stopped to deflate the tires mid ride, started on 23 psi ( Silca pressure calculator recommendation), but that was too hard. Once deflated, had more cushioning offroad. Deep gravel and grasspolle are more comfortable with the burts. Looking at the data afterwards, for the same power, speed is almost identical to the pathfinders on the tar sections, so the sluggish feel is not slower actually. Comfort and grip is definitely better than the pathfinders. I will keep on riding them and evaluating. Had no issues mounting them on my Zipp 303's.

I ordered from bikeinn in Germany. But I stay in the Netherlands, so I am not sure about ordering from them and sending to RSA.

I ordered the 2.1"

I just ordered a set of thunder burts for my revolt for an upcoming bikepacking trip. Currently running the pathfinder TLR's in 45mm.

Vey few people are privileged enough to have awesome MTB trails on their porch. With a gravel bike I can leave from my house, do a 150km loop, without worrying about the road condition. Even some singletrack is possible. Therefore many smiles per km. Same question to you regarding enduro bikes. I do not get the need to bomb down a side of a mountain risking life and limb on a rocky singletrack. Different strokes and all that.

Another opinion: Train harder and drop your buddies while riding your gravelbike on tar. This will bring the most satisfaction.

Agreed with above. Change the crankset and get a set of lekker carbon road wheels with road tires.

Pritzen is continuing alone. Stehli out of the epic due to illness.

Arianne also had lots to say about the Italians not willing to ride in the wind. That got some quick responses from italians on the youtube chat She then apologized. She is quite a loose cannon with the microphone.

I see honeycomb lost a lot of time today due to a sidewall cut. Wonder if it was a cut 32" tire... Surely the 32" wheels has a bigger risk factor compared to 29" tires, just in terms of spare availability along the route. If something happens, you cannot replace it easily?

I see their nutrition sponsor is 226 ers... Surely an opportunity missed for 32 GI...

I see that team honeycomb are racing the epic with the new Stoll mtb with 32 inch wheels. So it begins...

Looks like there are some shifting limitations with virtual gears on some of the platforms. ERG mode seems to work fine though.

Consider a wahoo kickr core trainer with the zwift cog and click system. That way you do not need to have any form of gears on the frame. It works great with zwift.
