• so many Arkoses ended up on 28-32mm tyres with guards.

    Pretty much my experience, even straight from a box, customer always seemed to request 28mm tyres, I have to really convinced one customer not to fit 23mm tyres on it as it is way too narrow for such bike!

    Sad to see the Dolomite being discontinued but it make more sense in the grand scheme.

  • Yeah, sad to see it go but tbh the Arkose on 28s was always my fave bike for big mountain days on the road. More 'settled in' feeling than something closer to race geometry. I just prefer that geo for long rides as well as fast descents. The Dolomite was stuck between road-race and all-road and the market's changing, in the right direction imho.
