Shit Gravel Grinders Say

Would be lovely, but I only ride gravel in the alps now.

Amazing post from a man who's ridden a 1000km (?!) audax through Belgium!

My house backs on to excellent gravel

There's such a huge shortage of Nitto parts in the U.S. right now that I was going to have to order stuff from about ten different places, if they even had stock. So, rather than doing that, it was cheaper/more efficient to just order everything I needed from Blue Lug. Shipping was $150, but no sales tax and they actually had the stuff I wanted. And everything was cheaper or significantly cheaper than buying it in the U.S. And it'll be here quicker than any U.S. retailer would ship stuff lol:

I don't even need to look to know who that is :-D

I've never been to a campsite, maybe done 200 nights wild camping tho

that is lovely

very good.

"...but when building a dedicated rig, I want all the key requirements to be met without aftermarket solutions,..."

@platypus didn't tell me he was getting a new bike

Might buy a Grevil and get rid of four other bikes. In a few years convert it to flatbar grandad bike

I'm not a gravel race hater, I did the national champs last year

I am a subscriber to the Lee Likes Bikes /Ride Logic school of thought re mtb fit.

The Talbot is basically my flat bar gravel hybrid now

Wattage frottage, rubbing against the stays...

For this tour I've removed the fenders.

i've done the lakemont descent 75 times and am listed as second overall on strava

Darn, beaten to it

I've managed to rinse two sets of praxis alba chainrings in 11,000km
