"Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB / Not quite CX bikes and drop bar hybrids - You can ride literally any bike on gravel"

Not been quoted in SGGS recently, here goes..

Been bombing trails on the Arkose (drop bar, 27.5 x 47c) but the sight of gnarly tree roots (any roots) interupts the flow and sometimes forces a bail. Want to keep it pinned, is a flat bar rigid 29er on ~2.2 inch tyres going to feel more dialled and roll over that gnar?

Thinking about a Brother Big Bro, not modern geometry but looks like it could still take a blue SID in the future....

Hope I crushed the mtb nomenclature, bro.

Yes, bro.

Yep, and then you can attain ATB nirvana

Close

ahem...

Go!

I can't believe it'd be that easy

Would at the very least require an exorcism

Better delete than close. We need to remove the past history

I vote close and pin. We should have to confront the atrocities. Future users should learn from our mistakes.

Looks nice, but a bit hard to tell!

Very good, nice back drop as well. In your area?

Yeah, from the front door. Very lucky.

Those are some tall ass trees

Can't believe you guys aren't talking about new road bike gravel tyres being released

Those look like they would be adventurous on #SFAB or even dewy grass

Schwalbe already have a UK specific gravel tread

They look suspiciously like the tyres a ran on my 90’s MTBs, except you can’t see the cords.

Are you quoting Schwalbe’s marketing jargon?
A ‘UK specific’ tyre can’t possibly exist. The UK has a landscape as broad as anywhere in the world. Just cos it’s good for wet South Downs chalk doesn’t make it good for Scottish granite, Dorset heath and Devon mud.
