South Downs gravel sportive aftermath below. Almost literally no gravel to be seen :D The route must be a great one when its dry though, and enjoyed it regardless. A little warning/caution sign would have been nice from the organizers before a high speed gravel descent takes a turn onto an off-camber wet clay slide. 6/6 people I talked to crashed in the same spot. But fear not, when we had to cross a road on a pedestrian crossing at some point, plenty of caution signs :) Lets hope I'll be able to move my right arm tomorrow.

And anyway, Im just a roadie, I dont even know how to properly ride a bike. But yesterday certainly taught me some! Bike was 10/10, but I definitely need to sort out my gearing.

ps: looking at pre-ride photos I just realized I basically sanded off the black anodization from my cranks. ehh

That's the reason black cranks are stupid.
On my suginos it was also gone after one ride on wet gravel like this.

Sell it me then. Wouldn't mind a second one ;]

Ha. I don’t think I’d sell the frame, but why wouldn’t i?!

Hmmmm.

Depends what it’s worth to you...

Custom obv; 2nd and 3rd cage mounts added, widened the stays to fit a 38mm tyre

DO IT. Also..holla holla!

Whats making you bored of it? It's such a versatile frameset! Thought of going single speed?

Reprise of no gravel in Stockport. You also cannot ride said gravel on a fixed gear project bike

On the day of the IPCC report we should really be calling bikes like this a climate crime

Can only make so many more bikes before we’re locked into environmental and societal collapse, do we really want a bike like this to be one of the last ones

At the rate Ekar should eat chains its probably not far off

m8 i am battling LTN opponents who are saying they will not accept 2 mins extra on their drive to supermarket at the expense of the planet! NOT FUNNY!

(is a bit a funny)

Suspension Grizl

Grim.

mumbles under breath

That's nowhere near enough suspension travel for UK gravel

Just ask @amey

UK Gravel?

you should be mad at prospect that MTB is going flat mount

Flat mount with 200mm rotor will be interesting

i guess it will be a new MTB flat mount standard, just higher up ..

sell your Helm immediately

Probably be separate brake standards for XC, trail, Enduro and DH...

I have an ATB, so don't care

🙋‍♂️ Is MTB on the agenda?
