I'm trying to make a decision about which bike to perhaps ride on this years BB200. I'm after some information from you all about what CX/Gravel/Adventure Bikes and their setup you have ridden ITT's on.
Ideally I'd like to know the following:
The Event
Weather/ground conditions
The Bike
The drive train
The tyres
Comments on the ride.
Many thanks

I'll start it off.
2017 YD200.
Great weather, warm but not too hot and dry/mainly hard trails.
2017 Sonder Camino Ally with Apex 1 and 650b Wheels.
Sram Apex 1 1x11 40-11/42 (Stock setup with spidered 40t)
WTB Horizons (Tubed)
A great setup apart from the 40t which I found was a bit too high. It worked but I used as lot of energy on some hills, when a smaller ring would have made it a bit easier.
