Bag-savers

ok Hun x

Very “OTP”

3 big bags, one water bottle. Perfect for a round 30 mile picnic trip around some parks

I have one of those. Do I get abuse? Yes. Do I like it? Yes. Is my hoop clean? Very yes.

Thanks, I have placed an order. Watched some videos off their account and saw a build there.

I don't despise them, just found it funny/interesting on that bike, and oddly satisfingly aligned with the chainstays

Friend of mine asked my opinion of the Cervelo Aspero and I know literally nothing about it- anyone here got an opinion they’d care to share?

I've got one of them (the mudguard). They're a bit shit. Don't bother.

I like that the paintwork was colourmatched to the effetto tool stuffed in the chainset

A friend of mine has one. She likes it and it's very versatile. When I was sitting on it I felt like it was a bit overbuild and too stiff? I am used to thin steel tubing offroad though so maybe that's just me.

Do you not like yours? Tbh I rate mine, but it did cost me some seat stay paint when I put it on at first.

It doesn't really fit the bike (Genesis Vagabond) very well and it has a tendency to rotate out of position. I wish I'd just got a Mudhugger instead. Plus I get loads of shit dumped directly onto the front mech, so perhaps what I really need is an actual wrap around mudguard!

Is a gravel spectrum just varying shades of brown?

50 shades of grey

Haha

If you can squeeze it above the horizontal strut thing (cant think of technical term) that its under in that photo I think you'd have more luck. Flattens it out.

Mine is rest on that and I added the provided frame protection. As dumb as it looks it was a god send in the winter. Having said that, mine is 650b perhaps that makes a difference.

I think if you want to leave something on the bike or fit something before you leave, an SKS xtra dry is probably a bit better.

But I like having it as an option to fold into my handle bar bag.

Mine was a road bike which then made it around a gravel race quite well. That proves how right I am. It's the epitome of the gravel story. Former roadie seeks new ways of hurting himself off-road. The only way it could've been better is if I rode it in a flannel shirt.

It's gravel Jim but not as we know it

I've already seen gravel-specific flannels listed for sale for 10x the price of one from TK Max or Primark

Found one

Where do we stand on twig clearance? Do I need bigger tyres to make sure this doesn't happen?
