I can rid my gravel bike on the road with my missus

You can do that with an MTB too

Makes no sense

This thread makes no sense. Run what you brung and ignore the haterz!

pure ski run vibes

Ask @amey but I think it's to do with the M in MTB.

Or the fact that gravel bikes are supposed to be fast. If you're climbing that slowly, you may as well be on an MTB and have access to/enjoy the tech downs more.

Fair.

Any lower than 1:1 and you should have bought an XC bike

36x28 is my lowest and it looks like I'm on the 21 or 23

This is actually annoying though. Di2 is cross compatible but #BallerGravelBikes aren't within everyone's reach

Shouldn't be too difficult to catch you up ;-)

If you need a bigger sprocket than a 34, buy an XC bike....

FINE. Readers #ukgravel last week south of Beckenham.

Cantis?

XTR levers are carbon. From experience the finish on everything from Deore to XT lasts ages and gently fades rather than wearing to a polish

Ultimately a 150mm fork seems a bit much for a muddy field.

Get a cross bike. Faster than a gravel bike on road, better in the mud and you have a hardtail for those chunkier rides.

Safe.

Anyone know whether the stupid flat-head pad-retaining screws on shimano road calipers can be replaced with AK ones from their MTB range?

I'll take my comment back, only ever had proper experience of Shimano mechanical.

😂

Shows that 810 is not Ultegra level. Ultegra blades are carbon and so wouldn't wear like that.

Seems poor though. Even Deore alloy levers wear much much slower than that.

You're right, I meant the Hydroshot. I'll edit my post

Worx Hydroshot? Impressed with mine. I have been taking it with me in the car MTBing and clean the bike straight away. 5l water is normally OK but 10l will get a bike really quite clean.

where they have *gravel

This is brilliant
