Sorry I meant, I don’t get the hype.
If it’s got discs you can do it to pretty much with any modern gravel bike. So why the WOW! look at the new. My old MTB 26er has rocked 26s 650b and 700c in its life and so has my old 70’s pathracer (all be it fixed and brakeless shh)

Yeah, I think the 650-700 swapping with discs is fine. Trying to shoehorn in 26" is stupid.

I reckon the Surly Bridge Club is the exception that proves this rule

Most 700x40 frames don't have the chainstay clearance for 26x2.3

700x40? That’s a road bike ;)

I propose calling it a penny-penny

I know we should hate these things. But at the same time.... imagine how smooth it is to ride on rough hard baked roads.

You lucky sod. Is that Griffith Park? I went to GSC on holiday, and bought a cap, but the closest I got to riding gravel was freewheeling an abandoned stolen electric hire scooter on a walk to the observatory.

(I did do a bit of road riding around Carpinteria/Ventura/Ojai though).

i mean.... i... i really want to try it....

The best bit about this picture is that fools line up high in the left. It looks good.....but you will end up dropping a wheel in the shitfromabutt

Through the trees in Primeline.

No matter which line you attempt, your foot is getting stuck in the big puddle

Bits of Griffith, Mulholand Drive, Mulholand dirt and all around. Around 100 riders, very friendly and gravel was primo.

Can't wait to get back to soaking, freezing shit from a butt in Scotland though.

By shredding you mean tip-toeing around the edges while trying to balance your bike, right?
