Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB

Yeah yeah i know. in reality i think ive taken more care over my CK bb than any of the others I've had, which is not what i originally had in mind. I've known so many people fit and forget them without an issue, but I dont know if i could live with myself if i screwed mine up

My Hope BB shell has Ceramic Speed Bearings don't ya know!
(though I was perusing the aforementioned last night..)

I've emailed the excellent Hope Tech Team and await their respond on the 24mm tube fitting.

What kind of cunt has a power meter on a gravel bike?

Cool. My idea is for it to replace my Tarmac for road use so I'm hoping for something that's pretty light and fast (until I'm on it, obviously).

Although my gravel bike did race TransAm and TCR before it became a gravel bike so also

Suck my nuts, mud hugger. :-*

Also, if your gravel bike is also your road bike...

Does it have ceramic coated races though? Because otherwise it wasn't worth the extra

Will be good for that

Me, not having a road bike and doing all rides offroad it's the only bike where it makes sense (in my head)

and everyone using a gravel bike for CX "racing"... aka dirty splish splash

I have a power meter on my grocery bike.

No, I hate all delivery people.

Yes?

I dunno, I'm a magpie and Shanner sold them to me for cheap.

Shiny things go spin spin.

He has spoken: https://www.renehersecycles.com/the-scientific-guide-to-choosing-gravel-tires/

Before I bother clicking on that link, IS it actually scientific? Or is it "my tyres and 1908 NOS wheels feel better so must be better" nonsense.

IS it actually scientific?

No. Lots and lots of sweeping assertions backed up without any evidence at all, some of which are completely and obviously wrong.

Four bar charts. Looks like science to me.

I'd quite like to watch Jan Heine and the bloke from Bicycle Rolling Resistance scrap it out.

They are sort of magic
