“A durable but lightweight aluminum frame, easy-to-use sliding dropouts, and capable all-rounder geometry… a gravel bike worth mythologizing.” - from Bikepacking.com's long term review of Chessie.

Meet Chessie, our monstrous new aluminum alloy frameset, named after the legendary sea creature said to lurk in the Chesapeake Bay. But unlike its mythical namesake, this beast is very real—and it’s ready to tackle the wildest gravel and bikepacking routes you can throw at it.

Forget what you thought you knew about aluminum. Advances in tubing and design have transformed it from the jarring rides of old into something truly refined. Chessie’s double-butted main triangle and meticulously selected tubing deliver an exhilarating, smooth ride with all the stiffness you need to charge ahead. It's custom, sliding dropouts allow for easy single-speed setups while using flat-mount brakes and still giving you room for fenders.

The triple-butted fork is a true performer, ready for racks, fenders, and cargo cages. Its elegant segmented design complements the frame without looking overbuilt, and the frame clearance is as generous as Chessie’s appetite: up to 700x50mm or 650x2.25” tires on Medium and larger sizes and 650bx2.1” or 26x2.25” on Small and XS sizes. If you're keen on running fenders, you can mount 700x45 or 650bx45, respectively.

This frameset has already proven its chops—Nic piloted one through the Mega Mid South, a brutal 300-mile self-supported ride with 17,000 feet of climbing. Whether you’re racing, adventuring, or just getting lost on purpose, Chessie is here to make every ride legendary.

A Toy Ball for All Seasons!
Style: Small Ball, Size: 1 Count, Style: Small Ball, Size: 1 Count
Oh my gosh! I’m so happy to find the almost exact ball my 5 1/2 pound 9 month old Morkie, Charlie, that mommy lost at the campgrounds! It was his favorite toy and although he has others, he loved this one above all others, so to find another one was an answer to my prayers. The difference is so minor and in a good way. It is very durable as Charlie has very sharp teeth, but this one is just a bit softer making it easier to hang on to playing fetch. But for Charlie, the size is the same, the squeekiness is the same, the color is the same (yes they can see some colors) and he went into a jumping frenzy when I took it out of the package and the price was unbelievably inexpensive for such a high quality toy! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Good mommy! ( I’m ordering another one as a back up, jic!)

Great investment.
Style: Small Ball, Size: 2 Count
Dogs love them. Durable. Chew worthy for a beagle and a German shepherd. You cannot smell the flavor imparted but the pups definitely can. Always purchase the amount you need so each dog can have one. .

Bacon and a Ball? Can life get any better?
Style: Small Ball, Size: 3 Count
Come on.. these balls are the best. They smell like bacon, yes, they really do. They are durable and squeak. Upon aggressive play, the squeak will die out but the ball will still be useable.

She LOVES this ball
Style: Small Ball, Size: 1 Count
Our dog likes toys, but this ball is now her favorite ball. She even took it to bed with her last night. Our dog is 65 pounds, but she likes smaller toys so I ordered the small ball. It’s a good size. It’s nice and soft and squeaks. She seems to kills the squeaker right away, but she didn’t with this ball. It seems to be the least amount of money I’ve spent on a toy for her and it’s her favorite. I ordered another one just to have on hand. This toy is a great bargain!

Not Durable Enough for a Dachshund to be Left Alone With (Updated)
Style: Small Ball, Size: 3 Count
I just received these balls today and got one out for my daughter's Dachshund. She loved it for about 15 minutes and then gnawed a huge chunk out of it. It was in the garbage within 20 minutes of receiving it. I'm not even going to give her the other ones. We had an issue once before where she was chewing on her Kong and swallowed some pieces. It messed up her digestion for quite a while. Not taking the chance with these balls. Too bad because they have nice bounce and good squeak. She was thrilled with it until we saw that she ruined it and we quickly took it away from her. If you have a Dachshund or other aggressive chewer, I'd look for something else. UPDATE - I've bumped up the rating by 2 stars, changed the review title, and ordered another set. We found that we can't leave the dog alone with the ball, but if we use it to play with her, we can monitor when she starts to aggressively gnaw at it. So now, it's more of a fetch ball and we've taught her how to stop gnawing it and drop it for another chase. They still give in to her sharp little teeth more easily than other toys, but she really loves them and gets so excited when we get one out. It's easily her favorite toy, and who doesn't want to see their pup happy?! It's definitely not a chew toy, but it's been great as a fetch ball. If you go into it with that understanding, you and your pup will both be happier with the product.
