Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB

Cinturato RC and tyres like that work better in dusty hard pack. I'd rather have Cinturato M or similar for UK "gravel"

Bit late to the party, but I did Reiver last year on Pirelli Cinturato m 45s last year and they were spot on. Rolled and gripped well, no flats all day. If it was dry I'd like something with less rolling resistance. But last year it was not dry.

I've still got a Cinturato M 650x50 on the back of the Tripster. It's done all kinds of stuff in the UK and Seven Soggy Serpents and whatever other rides I've done on it.

Light work

Love the old school frame size.
Nice stock wheels on canyons.

I know gravel rides in Kent are a bit of an old joke here, but can anyone suggest some good routes around Tunbridge Wells?

GRX RD vs 3y of UK gravel

“gravel”

You know that’s not true

My road derailers look like that too. :)

Joined the LFGSS trend: buy a crux, strip it down and rebuild it with Shimano.

Hippy will say it's not Di2

I thought you had a 'proper' bike for Epping now?

I ride that when I want to go slow and feel sluggish

Didn’t even clock is was a Crux. Niiiiice. Whazzitweigh?

Nice cx.
You might be the first one to complete the transpacific conversion. Rims look LB too ? Classic lfgss

Probably heavier than you'd expect, but didn't weigh it. I mean, frame is light, components not as much

EDIT: rider is definitely not lightweight

LB AR35 on hope pro4, built by Arkane.

LFGSS through and through.

That's my bike!

Oh wait, it's not Di2 :P

Mine will be 2x with a gravel P2M crank. Not sure about wheel options yet. I wanted to keep everything 700c but I'm tempted to keep the 650b dynamo front and get another rear now for the grav grav and find a lightweight 32h dynamo 700c road wheelset. Still not sure.

Yeah see, I don't really like Light Bicycle rims and I'd use DT Swiss hubs. I'm going to get a massive S-Works sticker for mine just to annoy the kind of people that would notice that kind of thing too.

You should get an "H-WORKS" sticker

S-hirks would be cool. Where's a graphic designer when you need one. RIP BDW :(

S-NACKS?

T-werks

Saw this and thought I would check out the Strava of my gravel buddy who lives in Bromley and rip a decent route off him but he just seems to cycle commute into Canary Wharf and ride Zwift.

So here's a random Google search
