Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB

I had these at around 38PSI and it felt rock solid

You're using an aluminium frame. Classic mistake.

Bike looks good though. Drop it to 2 bar to start with.

I'd experiment. I would get to low 30's before you risk blow outs. At that volume, difference between a couple PSI will make a world of difference. I run 37's at what you're running now.

I would get to low 30's

One sec...

I thought tyre pressure was pencilled in for 2nd week of June discussion?

*tears up calendar

Looks good. Is this last year frame or 2022 with the revised geometry? Have both in my basket and wondering which to get. £50 difference in price

Thought i would try a gravel bike build - cheap frame + a few bits from ebay + parts bin rummage - thought i would do fixie first to make it a bit more interesting !

"The main problem now is that the brakes are not working. But I am saved by the fact that there are few cars left in the city and the snow has almost melted 😄"

What a legend. Mechanics in the comments offering to help over Zoom and try to send spares.

Some distressingly sensible gravel content starting to appear on this thread now

Don't worry that'll soon change, user _m_y will be along shortly.

I have no idea sorry. I picked this up for £120 from their outlet store, I think it’s probably the new one?

Dibs If you sell!!

I missed out on this on ebay recently!

I only ride the ATB segments in Zwift

Noted Josh - i will see how much fun not riding an MTB is !

The easiest way to tell is the seatpost, the new ones take a 31.6mm post so you can run a dropper, the older ones are all 27.2

its boring so just sell it me to save you the time to find out.

Looking for some advice on an Omnium CXC for a dropbar all-road/gravel/touring frame.
I don't know a huge amount about road bike geo, so any advice is quite helpful!

Straight to the live laugh love thread

Is that a tapered carbon canti fork on there? Any idea on the id?

Looks like a fun project

CXC is track bike geo with big clearances - much steeper head and seat angle than most road bikes, and a higher bottom bracket.

Yes it is - but sorry no idea of the manufacturer - nothing on the fork and it was not listed when i bought the frame. Just waiting for a brake cable and bar tape and it is good for the first ride
