Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB

That was the surprising part tbh.

@hippy yeah fucking weird results.

I mean it seems illogical but it will depend on the frame I guess. It seems to be the trend on road that wider is testing faster so why not on grav grav?

I presume they were testing with a gravel bike with quite a wide downtube and the wider tyre/wheel combo works better as a system with said wide downtube?

Now if you stick an MTB tyre on a skinny framed road bike and it tests faster then I'm out. No idea (but presumably the same reason - it acts to shield the bits behind it) :)

Do you have a link to the video/podcast/whatever/I forget ?

Yes please, this is relevant to my interests.

The whole video could belong in shit gravel grinders say.. And I've only watched the first 30s.

I'm totally taking my Shiv to Unbound next year.

That felt and his kit for unbound are spot on!

Spotted recently at the Gralloch. Not only the rear wheel but note the cranks aero'd up with duct tape 😑

Loose fitting jersey, poor fitting bibs, flappy frame bag, none aero helmet.

Really needed the tape though

JWVS just being himself and lets hope he never stops ❤️

I'm here for inappropriate use of disc wheels

It's just a cover I believe. So all the benefits without the rigid arse shattering stiffness?

All the benefits. Uses 30mm front wheel. Kden

I'm willing to believe wind tunnel guy. Everyone else is just fitting OS jockey wheels

Can't believe I'm not seeing any forum big hitters in here

that's about a weeks worth of itchy legs for me.

After yesterday's road 300k I'm now of the opinion road bikes in this country are a waste of time. Holy shit the roads are bad.

Found myself in a similar situation

lovely stuff!
I'm not sure I'll be allowed to do the route planning for a while after yesterday.

@sohi my legs were a bit tingly yesterday evening 😅

You've got to embrace the overgrown bridleways.

If you fancy a bit of fun after nettle alleys, get in a hot bath afterwards....
