Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB

Good question. It's the splatter lime camo one from 2014 (I think), so yes? That's good to know, thanks.

maybe someone knows carbon gravel forks models tapered to have rack or cage mounts?
Bombtrack is not for sale as I understood

Rodeo Lab spork or

Damn keep wanting this fork but HSBC says I don’t need it

Yes me too, I just wish it had a drilled crown.

it's been slightly cut. price reduced. just buy it

I'll do a photo with good DOF if it helps

Okay, I could go for these, wanted black fyxation spartas, but, these would look nice... hmmmm

Not come across these before.

That Curve's steel thing... grovel or kevin or whatever?

Kevin of Steel.
Clearances seem a bit needless. 650b x 2.2!

to be honest it looks exactly the same as a Bombtrack Hook EXT (same factory i guess) but for 5 times the price

(same factory i guess) but for 5 times the price

Millennial yuppie bike buyer bingo!

"but its so nice" etc

So many nice pictures of that bike in Jesse Carlsson's instagram tho

Different tubing, yoke, dropouts etc... How much difference there is IRL though remains to be seen.

Not sure what your budget is but how about a Trek Checkpoint-alr-4 . It has most of your options. Can be run SS or geared. I test rode one a month ago. Felt planted and stable (but not boring).

@cake or is it the rear wheel you need?

Yeah. Is out of my price range.

It's all dreams and wishes tbh. A bike fit and new wheels will do me right.
Maybe a lower gear too....

How much if it isn’t now sold?

I can get a set of new standard Arkose wheels for around £100 that I'm debating having as a second set for road use - this a good deal?

I've got a set on my Isen, as I needed 12mm thru front, qr rear. Think i paid around £120.

So far they're pretty bombproof, roll well enough and have remained true even after a guy on a mtb rode head first into me today. They're not particularly light, if you care about such things. May have changed spec between models but mine are 6 bolt novatec hubs on alex volar 2.1 tubeless ready rims. Only thing to note is that they're 21mm internal, so prob not advisable to run anything less than 27-28mm tyres and the tyres you do run will prob come out a bit fatter if they're in the 27-32mm range.

Sealed bearing ones?

Yes I believe so. They're exactly the same as the ones that came with my Arkose 4

Cheers for the heads up man! I wasn't sure of their price on their own but I think I'll end up going for them.

Me wanting a bowman 6 months ago

No worries. Yeah i had that dilemma as it meant I was paying a similar price to a new pair of aksiums. In the end I went for them as 32 spokes makes sense on a bike that will be used all year round and carry luggage, plus I've had good experiences with novatec hubs.
