ban cult in the gravel thread is really the natural ending for this thread

The “motorbike” of choice for 13 year olds at my school. Unregistered and strictly off-road use only.

Do you live in Thailand?

Don't give Trek any ideas to create another new category of bicycle...

dbad I see

Brakes were awful on that. Dangerous thing to let a 16 year old ride.

Sort of reminds me of a velocipede

I've had to check to see if we're in the anti thread. Even by the low-bar of the gravel bike builder, this is bad

...this is bespoke

I know... but... still...

Mm I keep looking at g-ones then wondering why I'm trying to make my slow bike less slow. Senderos look great

I actually just swapped them out for byways like last week after a day of sun hoping for less shitfromabutt and it hails today.

Ive found Senderos in real mud, the type that CX racers drag me into, are wheel spinny nonsense. (Nukeproof Digger Comp)

But for gravel and single track I rate em highly. Strong too.

Incidentally for my new build im plumping for G-One Bite in a 45c. I really want at least half decent road mile munchability for huge adventures. (G One Speed 35c also for road touring)

I’ll say they held up very well in west of Scotland nastiness, but we don’t get that tacky slimy clay cx poo - I just put too many road miles on them and the small worn down knobbies were more of a hindrance on the road than a help off-road. Is your new build 650b or 700c?

Fife wids and Forth dykes style standstill pedalling. Also a fair few road miles, but narrow tyres for mud or just stay out of mud its a nuisance.

New build is 700c. Do it all adventure road/gravel/touring/winter road yada yada.
