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).

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?
