Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB

Is it okay if I ask an actual gravel bike related question?

Or should i phrase in the form of a meme?

Anyway, have grx 600 1x in 172.5mm, but could do with 170mm

Given grx is hard to find, besides keeping an eye out on eBay, what other options would work with the chainring / pushfit BB combo?

Defs had dibs but that's okay

The other empty seat 4 back from that?

Keep riding what you have, nobody will notice a 2.5mm in crank length

More legroom at the back so I hear

why are you bothering getting new cranks. Why do you NEED new cranks? You wont notice 2.5mm.

Ive rode 170 and 175 cranks on the same bike and noticed no diff.

It’s not a need, more of a 170 is what I’ve ridden for years and it works for me kinda thing.

And given we’re on a thread where needless things are added to bikes for “adventure” and “gravel” changing cranks because of some cognitive bias is par for the course surely.

ok now its a meme

Friendliest forum on the interwebs

I thought gravel and adventure was a mindset?

170 to 175 is bit much, 170 to 172.5 not much tbh .. just change fore-aft and height of saddle

@cozey - what day/week/month is bikefitting chat?

Wait is there where we wake up and this whole the has been a dream?

Just wait until the chainrings are toast, for the asking price of new Shimano chainrings you can almost get the full crank.

Fair, this is also true, can we fit it into the argument/chat schedule for this year?

Damn, shitfromabutt season is ending so that could be a while

I'd advocate for this change, mostly cos I'm a roadie really and ruts terrify me

On that note, is anyone really tall and wants to swap my 175 force 1 cranks for your 170 before I make my seatpost unadjustable?

I've had to relinquish control of the schedule to atone for birthing the #sfab meme. for which I have apologised. please retweet.

Recirculate the agenda.

Surely we’re at the AOB stage by now?

Has nobody read the Standing Orders?

You have no authority here!

I'm the one turning the speed up on the controls and disengaging the seat restraints.
