Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB

Top infos. Cheers. It’s nice, versatile looking setup.

My reservation about buying a Tubus are the stays are aluminium (which I think I’d need the twist for my frame).

I did have them bent a little at the end to match the plane of the top mounts exactly. I think they're solid so will take some adjustment without weakening.

The only tedious thing about this conversation are the flabberghasted folk who jUsT cAnNoT believe drop bars this wide should (or do) exist and continuously pester the rest of us about it.

Exactly.

I'm still waiting for some 800mm butterfly bars

What I'm taking from this is I should, a) shut up or b) try some wide bar drop bars then come back with some constructive criticism

who is this advertisement aimed at? it's like all the bad bits of cycling on one pic lol

all the bad bits of cycling on one pic

Sleeveless is all the bad bits, right?

Sleeveless is all the bad bits

All he needs is some Shimano sandles.

All the very confused people who lap up "trends" to be cool

anyone with that sort of upper body definition needs to stick to triathlon

I immediately feel better about my winter hibernation flubber suit

what's "triathlon" please ?

Maybe try a little bit of column A, and a little bit of column B.

If you like them, great! If you don’t like them, great!

Yes, I’m sorry we should all adhere to bar width “trends” from 30 years ago to be insufferable handlebar narcs.

Love this.

Also love wide drop off road, it’s just stupid on a flat commute by pretending to be the Cutty Sark.

Honestly, you have won me over by using "Narcs".

However....????!

Actually that’s a point.

Back during the Apocalypse of 2008, we all insist on narrow bar being the bestestest.

Cutty Sark.

Ed I luv u

and in 2020 it's all about 60cm flared drops, dropper posts and 2.2 knobblies to ride up a gravel driveway

progress

Hey, some of that pea gravel can be pretty gnarly!

or as far as bridleway here in the UK.

40cm or die.

Shout out to the absolute dudes commuting on 23c and look keos
