I’ve been riding a lot of gravel on my gravel bike this week; two rides around the Borders/Lothians with friends on Monday and Tuesday, and a nice pootle around Aberfoyle today with Gabi (she rode a 200km audax yesterday so it was at party pace which was great because firstly, it was warm for the first time in months and secondly, I’m pretty knackered from four double shifts in a row at work).
Anyway, I’ve replaced the setback seatpost with an inline one, lowered the saddle a pinch and now I love the way it feels.
Next up on the gravel bike is replacing the tyres as they are shredded up and there is a slash on the sidewall that sort of seals but also let’s all the air out of the tyre after a few days. Against the advice of most on this forum, I’ll be sticking with Gravelkings as they’ve done me no wrong so far. They’ll be all black this time, though.
