• Roadies who don't know how to corner off road?

    Tru dat. My main gravel riding buddy came from rowing to road cycling via a bit of MTB to gravel. He still pumps his 2.2 MTB tyres up to 60 PSI 'so I can go faster on the road' and wonders why he gets bounced all over the place off road.

    Whenever I'm riding behind him on the gravel bike I often shout 'outside foot down' and he replies angrily 'I know' whilst doing the complete opposite as he wobbles around the simplest of corners.

  • Even my missus got the hang of outside foot down after a couple of rides on the road with me yelling at her. She's pretty damn capable on her gravel bike too. I was often surprised when I'd stop to wait for her in the Pyrenees on my hardtail and she'd basically already be on me.
