Yeah, I used a long rigid seatpost to check the insertion length of my frame, it'll fit with only 10mm to spare.
Should be exactly my seat height with it slammed to the collar. Good for this lanky boi

Another free kick to the landlords of the nation. MTB is now tax deductible lol.

I've ran a lot of mtb stuff, including whole bikes, through my tax. I was employed to ride my bikes at the time, but there would be ways in the modern era as well. Perhaps you have an air bnb that includes access to your mountain bikes?

Keep the ideas coming, I'm always looking for a "legitimate business expense "
I don't own any air bnbs but I don't think a bike for normal tenants is going to fly with the ATO.
If anyone runs a "consultating" business I'd be happy to purchase roughly an Acto Fives worth of consultation!

Maybe you are leasing the bikes out through a ride/car share type app?

22 Fox Transfer SL Factory Dropper Post 30.9mm -

At roughly 25% less weight than the Fox Transfer post, the two-position Transfer SL is one of the lightest mainstream dropper posts on the market. Mechanical internals with no hydraulics also make it one of the most robust. The two-position design means the dropper can be ridden as either fully...

Aren't most gravel bike frames (notwithstanding XC bikes) 27.2?

Its just like MTB, are most 30.9 or 31.6 ?

My roadie was 30.9, the Defy I have here on the smart trainer is 31.6.

To be honest, IMO 'gravel bikes' are only CX bikes with a bit slacker geo and CX are only roadies with more clearance, but not enough to fit a 29 x 2.2, as they are cheap and actual tyres branded gravel are not.

If I was going to spend money on a bike for gravel and adventures, Salsa Cutthroat would be the number 1 choice. Clearance for 2.4 rear and 3.0 front, rack mounts for everything and all day geo. Its where the gravel cool-aid is heading if you are not an out and out racer.

Was looking for a set of wheels and the Btlos was recommended by a few on here, sale looks pretty decent with the black friday sales. Happy to refer to get further discount.
