Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB

Dont think anyone other than scoble really went down that hole; but he is a #buyer

It's winter, arguing about gear is the main event with brief intermissions where people mention that they tried to go on a ride but lost a shoe, a friend, and their will to live in several inches of peanut butter mud.

Yet we keep coming back for more..

I often lose 'friends' in the mud on my bike rides

Could @Velocio build a poll function to settle all these inane but entertaining debates?

I'm not a mountain bike rider. Plus don't need space for a bar bag to carry my food on 40km rides.

Wide bars are a fad. I'm sticking with 40s, don't @ me

@PhilDAS changing from 40cm to 44cm was probably the best thing I did go my gravel bike.

Alright @PhilDAS

Plus don't need space for a bar bag to carry my food on 40km rides.

I didn’t think the Clerkenwell Spice Route is that long.

I lie, mine actually has 42cm on now and I don't like it

That's because they're not 44cm. ;)

That’s because you haven’t tried a 46cm.

Even on flat bar?! Retro, man.

Someone post a bike pic, and fast.

Sorry I thought we were talking about gravel bikes, not hybrids

I was trying to make a joke.

My bad, as you were.

PhilDAS changing from 40cm to 44cm was probably the best thing I did go my gravel bike.

You have a gravel bike?

I'm with you. I ride 38cm on road so 40cm just fine.

It's current incarceration will be winter bike so expect 75% road, 25% off road.

I was too. Sorry Josh, I've let us both down

You have a gravel bike?

Fun new discussion! What is a gravel bike even?

That’s because you haven’t tried a 46cm.

My mate is ordering a Towel Rack, I'll report back soon.

Ahead of its time

Correct no. of bikes= N+1

Correct off road drop bar width= R+2cm (where R = road bike bar width)

Can't argue with maths.
