Lovely! Took this home yesterday and trails today; absolute weapon.

Yes you are.

Wait. I. Mean. It. Is.

Does that IsoSpeed thing have much effect?

No idea

What dropper should i get?

You need some 38mm Gravel Kings first ;-)

What dropper should i get?

Longest one that fits

One Up V2?

Plenty of people seem happy enough with the Brand X one

That looks great

Have got the Brand X dropper on a Giant XTC hardtail. I am shit on a MTB but it seems to do the job reliably enough, and the internal routing was pretty trivial.

right that's it, i'm taking my stickers off

Did a bridleway ride today, dont think i need a dropper (yet)

What is it?

Looks good, and like it'd ride well on gravel.

My view on droppers is that if the terrain is technical enough to justify, then a gravel bike is the wrong choice.

yeah! I agree.

I did it once. Never again. Joyless.

Nice bike. Dibs when you sell!

@amey Bit late to the party but how come mtb and not a gravel bike?

I have been weighing up this decision for a while...

Its me; I dont have skills to handle a drop bar bike off-road. Check my ride yesterday; the loop very you

Plus it doubles up the usage when I actually get to any trails (Swinley, Bedgebury etc).

Because gravel bikes are a scam. Shit on road and shit offroad.

Good in right hands; rode with @pastry_bot with him on his Fairlight, he was quicker both off and on road 😂

@pastry_bot is a once in a generation prodigy though.
