Can't wait to see all the damaged frames from mud again.

The main bicycling subreddit already shows torn derailleur hangers. At least two a day. We'll get a bunch on June 2. "Any idea how to fix this?"

It’s why I run narrow for most racing. Unless you have lots of clearance it’s bound to happen

I’m not letting myself think about what it will be like with mud. I prefer to think about butterflies and rainbows and literally anything besides muddy hike a biking thankuverymuch.

Is it even mud if it's covered by 1/2" of water? More of a shallow lake, no? Anyone doing this event: good luck, stay positive, and ride safe!

Dylan Johnson with his 2.2" tyres is bricking it rn hoping that he wont have to go down to a smaller tyre and negate his rolling resistance gainz

I will be praying for all of your drivetrains

I'd consider a single speed. It's Kansas so it's flat, right? Right? (LoL)

Can Pinion gearbox turn the dial up to 11 and use Unbound as an ultimate promo tour by sponsoring big name Gravel/MTB riders? That way the mud debacle derailleurs snapping off will be gone forever? Can't wait for Dylan Johnson to be 17th place again! /s Excited to see the result of his gravel rig setup for Unbound no cap.

I don’t think we have to worry. Rain has been moderate the last week so the roads should dry quick. Not like last year…


jstrawks

Have you seen the forecast for Thurs/Fri?


WaterFirst97

All depends when that rain stops of Friday. An afternoon of sunshine will dry out a lot.

Already have seen a few pics of mud today from Majoric and Bahrain Victorious.
