I've got two gravel bikes both 55tt same as my roadbikes. The thought of riding a 2 or 3 cm longer tt and stubby stem just feels weird.
Take some time to get used to, but ultimately it works well, it will still steer you in the right direction.
Imaging how old school MTBers felt when they went from 150mm to a mere 90mm.

I get that for an mtb you need that slackness for the nadgery wet rooty singletrack but on a bike that rides on fire roads I want it to feel familiar.
