Is it time for a gravel forum?

[Slowman]

With a plethora of new gravel bikes, gear, races and champagne I think it would be nice to have it all in the one place.

Hmmm, let me consider the options...

Bout time we have a spot dedicated to discussing WA’s delicious pea gravel.

Lets get one that works more than a 36hr week before expanding

No. Gravel bikes are road bikes with fatter tyres. They aren't mountain bikes. And neither are ebikes, they are motor bikes.

Disclaimer: I have a groadie (gravel roadie, get it?) and in no way at all does it resemble anything akin to a mountain bike. It's a roadie that only just manages smooth dirt roads and certainly does not feel any good on gravel.

I heard they have their own haircuts.

Disclaimer 2: Also had an ebike but flipped and is now robber turned policeman

I'm so thankful for Mirriams Webster including the word plethora -

It really means a lot.

So a bike with a dropper post, front suspension, tubeless wheels with actual grip and 1x drivetrains don't resemble mountain bikes at all..

Look at it this way: you can resemble anyone in your family, but that doesn't actually make you them.

That’s an xc hardtail m8.

Hang on?! I think I might be in the wrong place.

I though this was Gravelburn.

[slowmick]

Did somebody say plethora?

Why would you put drop bars on an MTB... Keep it on the road

Exactly! Everything else is off-topic so is categorised into separate sub-forums.

My club is finding it hard to ignore gravel racing.

Especially when you consider we are the only natural terrain bike club still operating in the area.

Might have to subscribe just so I know what shit they're talking about.

You guys really know how to lay down the gravel talk... I almost felt a bit self conscious for a moment

What about an other bikes section to cover road, bmx, gravel, kids bikes etc? No need to single out gravel as the only bike type we want to talk of outside of MTB.

edit: yeah, I needed to refresh myself
