Semi-finished my new big tyre commuter/gravel grinder yesterday. The commute this morning was the shakedown ride so started off easy in case anything was loose or not set up perfectly but it turned out to be fucking stupendous. Corners like its on rails. I found the gears to be a little gappy right in the middle at my average speed coming from 11-23 and moving to 11-28 but the extra gear of 11 speed helps. Haven't got guards on yet but these tyres don't throw much spray up which was good for today. Some work to be done on the cockpit, need a 130 stem and maybe some flatter top bars. Dynamo in the long run and carradice back on once I've had some fun chucking it round.
Most fun bike I've ever owned, second only to a bonkers single speed DMR jump bike I used to have.
