Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB - AKA Just get a red squirrel

I do certainly appreciate the lack of chat about high speed compression adjustment

Or is it low speed?

Slop. Everything here is slop.

The only exceptions are when ice covers the slop or when the slop has been fly-tipped and traction comes in the form of used nappies, empty Red Bull cans, broken vapes and rotting wooden window frames.

TIL: US passports come with bullet holes!!

Dammit has a boat now. We're saved!

It's why reviews of bikes can be tricky I find - is it just a subjective feeling by the reviewer's fingertips/bum/soles of their feet, or is this actually a 'magic carpet ride'? Moot.

In that case, please proceed to educate us, as we continue writhing about in our miserable slop :-D

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the few pockets of good gravel in the uk are also where the red squirrel still has a foothold.

Don't tell hippo, as he'll probably eat them

Only if I'm carrying my cooking kit...

waves at Scotland

There is no gravel in the UK, only Audax and CX. MTBs are dangerous, people who ride them do things like 'stop' which can infect you with 'vibes' or 'being chill' which is a direct route to corruption.

Hasn't the red squirrel flourished on grouse moors too, because of the illegal raptor culling?

Steve Rogers here ^^ speaks the truth

Forum fixie legend has forgotten about our healthy grassroots track racing scene :/

Tracklocross like skateboarding is not a sport

😂

Tracklocross

I have infiltrated this user's house and can say with authority that there is at least ONE 'tracklocross' disc brake frameset in the house

Tell me about your favourite gear ratio (please don’t).

Anything more than 69 and you've gone too far...

Lockring is optional but can extend ride duration...

You'll wanna prepare to get very dirty.

Oh, so you'd like to hear all about gearboxes

Take a seat and get comfortable...

i liked it when we were talking about squirrels

Oh so you want to talk about gearing do you?

Your man’s just dropped a blog post on his GRX mechanical rear, Force AXS front 24-speed monstrosity: https://www.peterverdone.com/24-speeds-and-the-modern-rd-bicycle/. Enjoy.

Mods, can we please help snoops seek out therapy?

Fuck it, I'll share the bike
