BB drop
It's only 60mm drop. I have 86mm on my Bird and it's fine.

I looked at the fathom and decided against it purely on the fork, saw a few threads on forums of people having issues (will see if I can find).
Edit: found one which covers some stuff about fork clicking and a weird issue with chainline causing issues...https://m.pinkbike.com/forum/listcomments/?threadid=224116&pagenum=2
Might be stating the obvious, but if swapping the fork, go with something that has a lockout option for climbing on gravel (e.g. I got a Rockshox pike recently that's great for trails but wouldn't want to ride gravel on it because of no lockout).

@Bodz
Is there anything obviously wrong with the Giant Fathom for use on light gravél?
I might swap the forks out for something 120mm. It'll steepen the angles, which should be fine (?), but will the BB drop be so drastic that I plow into every leaf?
