If I were in the market for one that is probably what I would buy. Or a Wahoo Elemnt if you want a lot of features. <br /><br />I am never buying another shoddy Garmin. Their quality has really gone down hill and the only remedy they offer if it doesn't work right (under warranty!) is 20% off a new unit if you send in the bad unit.

I have been practicing with the blacborow with 3.8s on the clown shoes. The roll pretty well.

I don't know what the forecast will be, and as of now, we are stuck in a monsoon rain pattern here. I hope that clears up by the time this ride happens!

It was doable. I have now switched to a 32 oval up front and that's made my cassette much happier. <br />I understand your water problem. I have no choice but to run the water on my back due to the fact I have a small Beargrease frame and there is only one mount for a cave in there. Have you thought about using a behind the seat waterbottle mount? They do make doubles as I am sure your aware. That would get those front two bottles out of the wind and help some with aerodynamics. Good luck. I have done a few centuries on the fatbike on gravel and I love it.

(58BCD) Currently I am running the Surly 28T ring. As you probably know, the inner chain ring's chain line is where a narrow-wide ring has to go in on an OD crank set in order to have the proper chain line for 1X shifting. The outer 94BCD spot is too far outboard to be of any use here.
