Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB

I wonder what the surfaces on the canal paths are like

I get this asked a lot

People ask you for bike advice?!

It's Edinburgh, could be wild. I dunno.

No, only subscribers

Modern gravel

Just send a link to Rob English's website and then delete their number

Surely the forum's leading expert on geology is best suited to answer this? @JB

Maybe his friend is Rob English though

Drop-out bidons are very 2022.

Oh ffs

Looks like the grrl's Sequoia... after it has been worked on by everyone in this thread while they stare only at #gravel on Insta. What a mess.

What racks would fit those upper mounts on the fork? A rear rack mounted backwards or something?

Hideous, but drop bar options for Rohloff can be frighteningly spendy

That's not really the problem?
Unless you have really big hands those brake levers, dunno.

I should have said hideous AND ineffective :-)

Putting your hand into the hook when the gripshifter is there doesn't look comfortable at all

I had to pull apart some campag record of some sort shifters to make one of those work once, that was pointlessly spendy.

Might have been the Gebla version? I think Shand use that with Sram levers on their drop bar Rohloff bikes, but not seen it used with Campag

That looks familiar, the instruction videos were some German guy with a very ASMR voice that I actually enjoyed watching, normally I want instructions written down.

Actually the instructions were for different campags and I just winged it, all seemed to work in the end though.

Haha! Liz just said isn’t that your bike? How very dare!

Not mine. I'd never sanction the purchase of a minty steed (or those fucking tanwalls) but the better half liked it.

Looks like the grrl's Sequoia...

@PhilDA..... oh never mind

I said "better half" later on, because, as TISM sang, "I might be a cunt, but I'm not a fucking cunt". :-*
