Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB

this

I have no desire for a single speed with cantis but I don’t mind nature boys. Stock paint colours are shit though

That Niner is just ridiculous.

Meant to be lighter (1x leg) and stiffer (increased diameter to compensate for single leg). There's a video somewhere of someone hanging off the end of one in a vice.

State have been making a nice SSCX for years now to be fair

Nature boy is also not nice.

Nature boy is just a pompino Tarted up to charge double the money.

Not that you can even buy a canti all city or pomp any more

Brant Richards is back at On One now and everyone on STW is getting about a new Pompino - either 650b or 700c x 50c.

Gravel is the new fixie.

Really?

GReat build, glad you like it!

It’s bloody brilliant

Need slightly softer saddle though.

Bum bum is sore sore today....

oh yes please

new Pompino - either 650b or 700c x 50c.

🤞🏻

new pomp w/650b & discs - yes plez

Someone start a petition page so we can fully register our support for this

Will it be geared or single speed? I could get behind a geared, 700X50mm Pomp with discs.

dafuk is happening with the derailleur cable? :) looks like a nice bike!!

And the chain. Upwards gravity...

You’re not wrong. No way they’d shoot it upside down and flip it....

...would they?

Yep! Easier to make the bike stand up (well, down) that way. No stands you need to remove in post. One way is to simply hang the bike from two wires at the wheels, hangs perfectly straight down this way. Once you know it, you spot it on quite a few bikes.

In this Dawes they forgot (or didn't bother) to remove the wires:

I've never understood the point/value of the lefty fork. Anyone?

Utterly impractical unless you are looking for aero gainz or weight / stiffness ratio

weight is the main reason right?

Yeah but weight is kinda meaningless if it’s a noodle. It needs qualifying.

Old lefty was lighter and stiffer than old RS and Fox

New Lefty is pretty much the same weight but stiffer where it matters.

Rigid lefty is silly on a non aero bike.

That whole bike is silly.

Given Cannondale have gone in on discs I'm wondering if their next TT bike will have a lefty
