Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB

I know, I'll do it outside. #smrtsmrtiamsosmart

Actually, I need to swap the rotors and the end caps before I can use them so I'll just run the knobby 42mm tyres that it has fitted for a while to see what it's like.

Like, how do you change tyres without hosing everything in sealant?

Easiest way to do it is to buy a new wheelset each time

You meant "new bike", right?

M8 I’ve inflated 2.4” mtb tiers with smaller contraptions!

Where's that picture of @spotter 's exploded wheel?

My stock Ultegra setup does that too. nyer nyer :P

With a derailleur hanger extender I presume?

Yeah, but you're only running them at 30psi or something and you probably have hands that still work.

I don't care what other people think things look like. What I do care about is my experiences on the road during races and during the last race I REALLY wanted a bigger/better pump.

"stock"

Yep. Let me make all the mistakes.

Sod him, I have one. That's why you should get one.

I laughed at Wacker's... right before I used it to inflate my tyres before the start of TABR last year :)

Tidy. Great colour for a gravel bike.

Looks hot!

Sweet rig and nice build. My friend has one. He's had it about 2 months and he loves it. Enjoy.

Phanks guys 🤗

Think I just saw this/you on the way to work, looks even better IRL!

Which DT swiss wheels are they?

Hi yeah very possible it was me,
Those are R 32 SPLINE I bought from Mantel on sales 2 years ago, needed 15/100 front and QR rear back then for Giant TCX and there wasn’t much of a choice. Was hoping I could acetone decals off but no luck and its impossible to line up anything on them. Think they discontinued for something better

So nice!

What size tyres and guards are you running?

I sent my Ribble back and got this instead.

Much cheaper and better kit.

Are the WTB tyres on the Arkose not very good? Already have a puncture after just 3 days of commuting vs none in 7 months on Continental Grand Prix.
