Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB

They are nice cassettes i might add.
One thing to know is the tooth incremental profile is pyramidal rather than parabolic, so they have a different feel than road ones.

All cassette spacing is the same across all Shimano/SRAM 6/7/8/9/10/11/12 speed road and MTB cassettes/freewheels of the same speed, the differences are in what amount of cable the shifters pull and the derailleurs expect. The Shimano road (under 32t) 11 speed isn't compatible with a 8/9/10 speed freehub because it's too wide in total, the MTB and road 34t fit because they overhang the back of the freehub a bit because the big sprocket has room too as the spokes are heading towards the rim more at that point, the spacing between them is the same.

I have one of those Chatter-Lea whistles I got from bespoked. Also got one for my uncle, who lives out in the lakes. His 80 yro mate thought it was so great he bought one, and says he takes it on the fells and randomly blows it to confuse tourists.

I love mine. Though it's not exactly practical whilst cycling though.

Ashdown Forest has some alright dust for those who can't hack 24/7 SFAB

In terms of spacing yes, but the largest sprocket will beyond the range of most road RDs

Still no grav in Cheshire, just weird mini bikes.

No gravel around the Three-Country Point.

Effectively (in practice) they might be, but not exactly the same I thought? I say that, but Im a happy user of a shimano cassette with a campag groupset.

Also, it is with great pleasure that I can introduce this thread to:

(Am I ahead of schedule? Was Critcross on the calendar for early autumn?)

Yeah, there are some small differences that don't make a difference.

No gravel in Norfolk, but some folder fun

I ride with someone who has one of these. I think it's pretty nice actually.

of course, cant be, you cant ride gravel on rim brakes

Nice. Looks a hoot.

Some premium gravel of Sierra Nevada, Spain.
Definitely need some easier gears, climbs are insanely tough here.

no reasonable looking bikes in the grevil thread please

Nice!

Yeah, that's one reason why most of the locals are on XC bikes in that part of the world...
