Genius! ;)

And you wonder why I sometimes use that gif

Why is there some sort of faux Union Flag next to English? Is it some sort of gammon joke?

Just his logo init

some sort of gammon joke

If only

I know these are 'right fancy' but they never seem to quite do it for me

Such a fanboi - I love him ❤️

Desperately searching for one of those Scott Scale RC 900 frames

missed a trick not popping on a couple of bottle cage braze-on barnacles or "frame warts"

After 1,000+ pages, back to the start

I’ve only had it for 6 days!!!

Low trail geometry helps to keep you awake on long randos like PBP because it’s so damn twitchy you literally can’t fall asleep. Sure I read that one once.

It’s not, when combine with a handlebar bag, it felt closer to a traditional road bike without a front load, that’s literally the whole point of it.

It’s quite responsive without a load but not horrifically so, ridden without a load and it’s fun, club ride with a smaller front rack bag was optimal for half a day of riding.

It’s much easier to keep steering straight but not ideas for proper off road when you need more stability (such as hitting a rock make it easier to turn steering, which mean you’ll need more input to keep it straight).

It seriously ride better and glide around corner with a front weight, better than my carbon roadie even, just not as responsive to accelerate or stiff to climb.

RIP for those who ride with Panny Gravel King.

i'm spamming this thread with my sale of this OG gravel bike

anyone got a nice gravel route starting in SE london, maybe like 50 mi max? thanks

There is no gravel from SE London

There are some 'CX' routes floating about.

Me and @Dogs did a more 'off road' route that I can't find a link to as well.

think i saw some on a driveway in dulwich

depends if you mean Lewisham or Cheam.

Perhaps look out towards Croydon and out that way? Lloyd Park, Addington Hills and out towards Biggin Hill.

Does anyone have any recommendations for an entry-level set of 700c tubeless wheels suitable for light gravel work?

The tubeless specific bit is key to the request.

It’s just dust in Norfolk

The fulcrum range has a diverse array of prices, it's simple and solid stuff. Stickers can be removed

Their cheapest DB700(?) were £130 from PX when I got them 4 years ago for the sequoia and so far I’ve only snapped 2 spokes in the front (1 riding down some steps, other carrying 2 bags of compost down a farm track) and put a small dent in the rear rim. Not bad for over 5,000miles and it’s safe to say I’ve overloaded them and done zero maintenance. I got them as a stop gap and just can’t kill them.
NDS apologies

New tyres. I’d be lying if I said I could discern any difference between these and the gravel kings that preceded them, but I’m liking the switch away from tan walls. Note also the evidence of zero gravel in the Peak District.
