Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB

yes we now have 100% UCI sanctioned licence to upset various esteemed LFGSS users

Will the arkose be UCI approved though? This is the big question

No, but I feel there's now an opening for an up and coming young bike designer/builder/kitchen tinkerer

Keep up, Pit. That bike's practically a forum meme now ;-)

And what UCI approved tyre width will be? Maybe we can discuss it here.

My money's on 40mm

Has to be >33mm

Will use this from now on, great

fixed ... powerclashing pls go

From Standert thread... (If not rep)

Come again?

Don't think I've seen it in here. Never got to try it in gravel mode sadly.

Hopefully it won't lead to all tyres being pretty much one size like in cross.

What is the reasoning behind that rule in cx anyway? So everything isnt always rideable?

My money's on 40mm

I bet it likely to be 42mm average, or 45mm.

They won’t go 33c because that at a disadvantage to bicycle companies trying to sell their latest gravel bike when a CX work well enough (hence why it have to be at least 42mm).

It's just the gravel version of the gran fondo championships... most people out for a nice day out rather than a race except at the finals where people will take it far too seriously in order to win a jersey that nobody who isn't there will care about.

Keep up, Pit

Every ride I ever go for

I think everyone would be riding rigid MTBs otherwise

That's a nice bike

This is also nice.
