First gravel ride
  • Also was it a pain in the ass(literally) to ride on rough surface?

    I wouldn't really say literally, but it's definitely a learning curve. I did not expect it to be that technical from the photos I saw beforehand, but it was full of holes and loose sand on some places, and regular ramps of 15%-18%. I could do with an 11-40 instead of the 11-34 it came with rofl.

  • First gravel ride
  • Can you explain what makes it gravel bike as opposed to a mountain/off-road bike, or are the terms effectively synonymous?

    it's like a road bike with wider tires, nothing special - it's much faster on light gravel and pretty decent on pavement as well.

    Got my gravel bike and my first gravel ride already had the views to die for.

    LIVE: Russia 'facing treason’, Putin says in address to the nation
  • I’m afraid it’s been good and if there is a shift in power, it will just be new assholes with money and weapons, not a revolution.

    The wagner group and the guys behind it are supposedly even more radical than putin is - if they get in power, the war on Ukraine will get much, much bloodier very quickly.

  • Solstice nights on my SL7
  • I have to say they are absolutely awesome. In the 4 years I've had it I have never, ever needed to adjust my derailleurs, it's always where it should be, vs. the constant battle of cables stretching and just generally having to tinker with it every couple of months.

  • I used to have mechanical sram, the one lever shifting was really clever and I loved it, but now I'm back to shimano with di2 - having said that I think i'd be just as happy with electronic sram :)
