Who is this 'James Haydon' and what gives him the authority on appropriate clothing for 'grav grav'?

Think he did a mtb race this one time

1700 gets you a 4130 frameset and 1x11 grx these days... Sad times we live in

Yo

Those lever are perfectly placed on the bars, but the bars need to be rotated down for sure

Disappointed there is no #shitfromabutt reference there, aka the UK winter gravel experience.

aka the UK winter gravel experience

Mr Haydon doesn't live in UK anymore, he's migrated to warmer climates and drier gravels

I meant for the target UK audience. I know full well that Mr Hayden has left the leafy suburbs of Beckenham for the lesser lights of Girona.

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

Not sure, as the rules otherwise are - run what'cha brung

The state of my youtube feed lately

650b on gravel?

what is this 2017?

pls dont mention bikes that dont clear 29x2.25 here again

tyre clearance to run any 700 or 650 gravel tyre option you want (and up 2.1” wide MTB tyres on 27.5” wheels).

Close enough? MTB numbers make no sense to me

not really.

In UCI races you need to have drop bars, 2 wheels of the same size, 2 brakes, no aero-bars, and the ability to coast.

Such tiny tyres clearance.

This is why people hate gravel bikes.

Damn that's ugly

Hard to say who cocked-up from that frame there

From the video it looks like Cameron Mason had the speed to come round the outside but the other guy kept his bars ahead and blocked him. The footage isn’t great, though.

At no point in that video was "green guy" not in front.

Wow no dropper for that. Ballsy

Finally i understand why gravel bikes have bars wider than the bike is long
