Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB

anyone with a pair of gravel tyres, non tubeless, 38-40 mm ?
schwalbe g-one type stuff...

Do you think because of this, it's not really usable to road ride and lightweight touring? Rather just as a commuter?
Thanks for you advice btw, I'm a bit out of my depth aha

I think it will be great at all of those things!
My wife has one for commuting and a friend has one setup with flatbar and 1x10 gearing for gravel riding. It is a brilliant frame set, but it rides more similar to a track bike than a road bike I would say.

No gravel on thanes path today….

My friend has one set up fixed with 650b and disc brakes, hasn't stopped him coming on 70k mixed surface rides with me on my gravel bike

Do you have a carbon recycling bin?

What’s a Q2?

It’s the office Brompton, formerly of Big Rob Jeffries heart

Hey Gravelers© !

I'm thinking about replacing my fork for one with better mounting points. The problem is that it has 50 mm rake, which severely limits my options. The Enve adventure fork would be the ideal replacement, but it's expensive as fuck. Fairlight Cempa 2.0 works too, but it's in the same price range (I live in France).

The requirements are as follow :

• around 50 mm rake and ~ 398 A-C
  
• mudguards eyelets close to the dropouts, no middle of the fork blade bullshit
  
• normal hole at the front of the crown, which ideally goes all the way through the fork crown
  
• TA 12 x 100
  
• 1-1/2" -> 1-1/8"
  
• flat mount brake mounts
  
• carbon or steel, with the caveat that I'll probably find all 1-1/2" -> 1-1/8" steel forks terrible looking unless they're segmented.
  
  

Optional but strongly recommended :

• Dynamo cable routing
  
• Three pack mounts
  
  

Any recommendations?

I'm hoping someone else with equally little regard for their personal safety fancies riding it before it goes to the gnar in the sky

I fear it's a bit too big for @HoKe
