"My GRD 36 Gulo wheels carried me well over the entire length of the C&O Canal towpath this week. 

They were on a gravel bike with a titanium frame and carbon fork, but no other shock absorption.  Thanks to the Gulo wheels superb ride, I survived 185 miles of bumps, ruts, and rocks.  The wheels also allowed me to accelerate quickly -- very handy when trying to keep up with the Scouts I was chaperoning during the trip!

Thanks for making such a great product!"

Best, Jeff
