That is quite something 

 

But why the fascination with deep section carbon rims on these bikes?

Is it because its sexy AF? I agree and am happy to accept that.

Or is aero really a consideration on gravel roads? Don't those massive tyres negate the aero advantage somewhat?

High direct chain guide from CSixx. Light, simple, just big enough to work with an oval ring on my Pyga.

 

 

 

I find that my 1x10 setup works great until I ride in very muddy conditions. In thick mud the chain stiffens up, and then jumps off the front ring when in low gears.  This solves the problem.

You're confusing performance with aesthetics ????

So you're Bob Parlee, founder of Parlee Cycles, one of the world's very best hand made bike brands. What are you gonna do? 

Ride a stock model??

This is Bob's Z-Zero XD : 100-percent made-in-the-USA carbon fiber, clearance for 40mm tyres, unrivaled Parlee ride quality whatever the surface. The paint? A perfect example of Parlee's mastery of their craft. See how the multi coloured splatter works like a fade? The rear triangle is predominantly black.

People have to much money to throw away maybe but they do look sexy with the ENVE hoops.
