>This thing is heavy! It weighs 18 kilograms (39.6 pounds) dry and heaven knows how much she will weigh when ready to take on the FKT challenge. The inland thoroughfares in Australia are 1,000 to 2,000 kilometers long with barely a single turn with deep corrugations.

>For a given speed, the 36er wheel doesn’t spin or rotate as quickly to power dynamos. Luckily there are some efficient options out there, like those from our friends at Shutter Precision, who have been great in helping making this happen. Vic Chen has been a longtime friend of Curve and a big supporter of Jesse, Sarah, and my own adventures. His dynamos have seen many a good test, namely Trans America x3, Indian Pacific Wheel Race x3, Race to the Rock x 4, Pan Celtic Race x 1, and the Tour Divide x2, all within the Curve family.

>Saddlebags are tricky due to insufficient space with the wheel diameter, even for Jesse at 6 foot 3 inches. Super Tall riders won’t have an issue, however.

>For tubeless setups, we have had to tape the rim in such a way to provide a seal between the rim and the tyre in order to get the darn thing to seal! It took Jesse a week of riding, a couple of rolls of gorilla tape, some swearing and tinkering to get them to hold pressure. Thankfully, our engineer Liam heard the commotion and was the guy who cracked the code.

>Chains! Huge chainstay lengths means two chains are necessary.

>Gear ratios! We were lucky that SRAM Australia supported this project and very kindly championed the idea by supplying a Reagle groupset: SRAM Red Axs Levers (No Force AXS post mount option available) + Eagle X01 AXS rear mech and crankset. We just call it Reagle. The bigger diameter tyres demand a drastically lower gear ratio to bring pedalling into the reach of us mortals. The 10-50T Eagle cassette paired with a 34T XO1 crankset has really helped.
