Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB

Yeah that’s a bit annoying. I’d want a FD and 45c on 700s.

Crux is perfect really

My favourite flavour

Great pics. Looks like a brilliant ride.

This blew my mind too, didn't know they were this light

Supersix evo SE

Both the super six and the crux have pretty low stack height, is that not a problem @hippy ?

I'm a world famous time triallist dahling! Low stack height is my middle name.

Proprietary seatpost?

"maximum tire clearance of 38mm"

That's a road bike ;)

"maximum tire clearance of 38mm"

:/

Vielo does 50 mm

These are 38 nominal but more like 40. Anyways, I'd go for the Vitus, specialized and cervelo are too overpriced

Damn. I like that very much. If/when my space chicken bites the dust ive got the replacement lined up, it looks like a really viable "jack of all trades" bike with 2 sets of wheels.

bike with 2 sets of wheels.

Have anyone actually done this? The only one I know is a customers with a MOOTS having 700 x 32 and 700x 40

Eh? I run 700C road wheels and 650B gravel wheels in the Tripster and my missus runs 700C road wheels and either 650B gravel or 700C gravel wheels in her Sequoia.

I thought multiple wheelsets was a pretty normal thing to do.
See also: training and racing wheels.

Or do you mean a manufacturer supplying two sets of wheels WITH the bike? In which case, no, never heard of that, but we're bike nerds, we can buy our own second wheelset.

I feel like it's one of those things everyone talks about doing but no one can actually be arsed / wants to pay out for.
So chapeau for actually doing the thing.

2 wheelsets (gravel/road) here, I swap them regularly

I had two wheel sets - offroad one with 27.5 x 2.2" and road one with 700 x 32c.

Would swap to the road one when I wanted to get some base miles and do some road riding but eventually ended up selling it as I've got a major fear of being run over by a motorist and I don't ride road too much.

yeah, though I went with 29x2.00 for off road and 650x47 for audax, just to be contrary

It wasn't exactly a planned thing. I kinda ended up with a spare wheel from a TCR build so I had a front made and that meant the missus got a matching set of nicer road wheels instead of the hefty ones that came with the bike. I bought a set of 650B wheels to see what all the fuss was about. Then got given a set of Fulcrums that became the Tripsters road set. Then bought her a Bokeh with 650B wheels.

Now the plan is to 'retire' the Tripster and Sequoia to Poland, both with 650B wheels and she'll use the Bokeh as her road/gravel bike with the 2 x 700C wheelsets.

I won't have a gravel bike for a while but have MTBs and will look at getting something like the Crux or Vitus and then maybe deconstruct my 650B dynamo wheel and have it built 700C and then build a new 700C gravel rear. That way, all the bikes in Poland are 650B and all the bikes here are 700C.

She's gonna bring back the CX bike I have in Poland and that can be a temp replacement for the Tripster/pub bike until I get the flash thing.

I did run my 650B with 47mm Horizons as a commuter and light gravel bike for a while. That was pretty fun.

I have 27,5 x 3.25 and 28 x 2.6 for my stooge.
Even changed them once.

Exactly this, not many people actually go through the faff of changing wheels, which may need changing pads if the rotors remain.
