Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB

it's gravenduro

You need ATB skills to bunny hop that log, not a saw. I believe there is a course being organised!

Should have made a log pile for all the insta fanbois.

The gentrification of NoGravel continues. If you look closely, you'll see the potholes have been filled. It's been left in a better state than the road that runs alongside it as you drop down into Disley.

Ok what's with the switch to ATB (not this thread, general trend) and when did it start? Anyone sequencing this shit?

if its not Wera Joker then I refuse

isn't it a play on the French Velo Tout Terrain or VTT?

he-he, i did consider building a StuntRamp (TM) but the guy I regularly ride that route with wouldn't have gone for that and would have insisted on getting off and carrying over still.

I can't wait for Shimano's new ATB specific groupset!

Finally, we'll all get the gear ratios we really need

More Correze adventures. Things I learned: don't wander off the map trail or you end up crossing knee deep in a swamp in between two thorn bushes

The ramp in that last photo looks challenging.

i'm in tears

@Maj: I'm somewhat concerned by the failure to recognise that 'ATB' here signifies a true post-modern construct.

Unlike say those Super-8 Specialized videos, it doesn't pretend to be 'authentic', or indeed anything other than a reselling of a fictionalised past, itself largely based on marketing narratives.

In addition, ATB is clearly a reference to ATV, which is an emitting term and an affront to the climate emergency.

Are any bikes really All terrain?
Full sus fat bikes maybe?

I like All Road Bike. Whatever your definition of road is.

They're all all terrain if you never ride them on any terrain.

It's all XC

The art of advertising: deleuze, guttari, Debord and the ATB defence force

Alt-terrain bikes?

Terroir, perhaps?

It's all XC

Imagine there's no countries.
