[@novatoride]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ultracyclist]

Thanks for the support always guys !

[@benedictokitchen8075]

Awesome work! What width tires did you use?

[@ultracyclist]

Thank you ! The tires that I used at Badlands were Pirelli Cinturato Gravel M 40 mm

[@benedictokitchen8075]

@@ultracyclist If I used 38mm tires would that be a bad idea?

[@ultracyclist]

@@benedictokitchen8075 I strongly recommend minimum 40mm. I know people who did it on 38mm (very few and they struggled). If you can go even bigger, 45mm would be perfect!

[@antoinepaillard8083]

I’m curious, is your chain completely done after a race like this?

[@ultracyclist]

Yes!

[@HerrmannHinz]

hah! this climb in gorafe is brutal indeed.

[@ultracyclist]

It’s a crazy one ! But 2022 I’m coming better prepared “gear “ wise ⚙️

[@HerrmannHinz]

@@ultracyclist i just rode parts of the route last month for fun. but man! phew. best of luck!

[@TheRealMichaelB]

@@ultracyclist Curious to hear the gearing you used, and even moreso, what you're thinking to do for 2022. Great video, and well done getting it done !

[@playmoreguitar5393]

Not even CLOSE to the hardest. I don't think it will even crack the top 10 that I know of... Clickbait or are you actually serious?
