not gravel question but is there a way to make or buy a bone conduction aero helmet? I want to hear music but would like an aero helmet (mainly as has a visor on it that better than cycle glasses as glasses make wind hit my eyes so they water at like 15+mph)

Gravel riding is only hash terrain touring really. Its been around forever. Its not new. When I was a kid in the seventies most bikes were utility even if they had drop handlebars. Mine had 1 1/4"" tires. Its what Road and Mountain grew out of as a result of chasing an ideal. This, and the video that Emma and Matt did of Adulacia, make me wonder about drive train wear. Sand and gravel over distance maybe over days. Do I really want to tour the coast roads of the Algarve?

The best thing about riding in general is to see a road and take it. No matter if asphalt, gravel or dirt. Just go explore and get out of the norm. And people should look at the stones to define if they need to change up the bike tires. 28's won't always work.

Lots of salty comments about how gravel is silly, and people wonder why others are put off cycling. You should ride what you want how you want. No one is complaining when GCN cover a new super fast aero bike, so why is it an issue when they cover a new type of riding on bikes that are far more practical for the majority of riders.

We don't call them ordnance survey maps here in Canada (nor the USA, I believe) but we have the equivalent. They're called topographical maps here (topos for short) and are available for the entire country. The most commonly used by rallyists, hikers, hunters, etc. here are the 1/25000 scale. They show lots of detail, houses, elevation contour lines, different kinds of roads. They are all available digitally now I think. Last time I checked there was still a small fee to acquire them but they may be free in the USA.

For long events like DK200 - I think you can store a Camel back or water bladder in a frame bag and use a retractable clip (like for a magnetic ID card) to keep the nozzle on your bars (hook it on your cable housing). Regarding a support crew - make sure they have some cleaning supplies ready to rinse off your bike and lube your chain, clothing and spare lights if needed (spare socks and gloves), extra chamois cream and a variety of snacks including some heavier real food like a burrito or a sandwich. Also, have a bonk-breaker snack: chocolate, a cold soda, pickle juice, whatever it is!

For me, the appeal of gravel-road riding is: 1. fun. Gravel riding seems more free-spirited than paved road riding. I feel bad about myself if I'm having a bad day and get dropped. On gravel, it's usually more about the fun. 2. safer. Highways are busy, devoid of bike lanes and filled with distracted drivers. An acquaintance was killed out on the highway a few years ago on his road bike. The gravel drivers are at least slower and, well, there are fewer of them. 3. Quieter. The sound of traffic is fatiguing. The sound of nature is rejuvenating! The down side to gravel: 1. remote. I took an unplanned stop due to dehydration 29 miles from home once, and had to walk for a while. I couldn't have even told someone where I was to come get me. Not fun. 2. farm dogs. I love them, but there are some that truly scare me. 3. dusty. The farm trucks maybe won't hit me from behind like I'm worried about on the highway, but they will certainly cover me in dust. 4. Wash boarding. Many of the roads can vibrate me so much I get a headache. I like both types of riding! I completed the DK100! A bit proud of myself. I'll shoot for the DK200 next year! Congratulations Katherine Moore for your excellent ride at the DK200! Geoff

I've been riding gravel and road on a Specialised Diverge for about two years. To answer your question on clothing, I ride in road-like gear, i.e. tight - much to the disapproving comments from my spouse. "Unflattering" is a reoccurring theme. I have a question of my own: I noticed that despite being reasonably comfortable on my bike in terms of reach and observing no backpain (to which I'm quite sensitive), my bike rocks sideways under me as I pedal. I'm conscious of it and I try to avoid it, but I can't seem to help it. Could it be related to my seat position, and if yes, how should I change it? #Torqueback

I ride off road all of the time and throughout the winter. I have a hybrid bike and some of the paths and bridleways I come across are shared with pedestrians, horses, children, dog walkers. Quite a few have hearing and site issues and this must be taken into consideration. Some of the gravel riders I see, do not pay attention to courtesy to these issues and why do a lot of these cyclists do not have bells on their bikes? Often I see riders going way to fast past these people and horses, near to livestock, etc. No hi viz clothing. Please, please, GCN could you do an article about these problems and try and address these issues. Great work you do, I really enjoy learning about new tips and tricks on your channel. Thank you!

Good luck with dirty Kanza Katherine! In terms of drinking water I find that carrying two large water bottles within the frame triangle plus an extra litre or two (depending on the weather) in a rack or handle bar bag is good for about 100 km. I don't like wearing a pack so I ensure that the bike has the racks and/or bags for clothes, tools, spares, phone, camera, water and snacks. I find the extra weight is negligible because you have got to pace yourself on long rides anyway and for me its about finishing the ride not competing against anyone else.

Henry Ashman I think that depends on the tyre and the pressure you’re running them on. I had the same kind of experience last week. Tried out the Clement X‘Plor MSO (700x40c) on my CX bike on a 30 km gravel ride and was surprised by how they can squirm a bit. I want bad by any measure and I got used to it after about 10 km. BTW, the mentioned tyre has really impressed me. Super grippy on gravel and wet forest roads and with a tight centre tread for road riding.
@HenryAshman
@HenryAshman 6 жыл бұрын
Dickson Shafthandler well I'm glad it's not just me! I've got the continental CX speed tyres on at the moment. I chose those for the winter as I mostly commute on really rubbish roads, including going past access points to some major road building works which dump mud everywhere, as well as occasional gravel roads & really light off-roading. It also probably didn't help that I got them a couple of weeks after a crash where I slipped on the aforementioned mud turning right at a junction. So had been unsteady for a while. Ironically since the weather's improved I've put the road wheels with the tyres I crashed on and find cornering way better and more predictable.

Bought my gravel bike in January, a Giant Tough Road 0 and has completely switched up my riding and I live near Haldon Hill in Devon which Katherine will know well and the network of fire, gravel, single track riding is mind blowing and I have put together 30-40 mile loops of mixed terrain. Simply. just. fun. No power meter, no clock as such, simply just riding. It will never replace my road machines, but it compliments them perfectly. But don't forget, Cannondale started life as a bike packing (aka Gravel bike) company back in 1971 !!!!

hi great gravel stuff. On my commuter Scott Speedster CX Bike i ride tubeless "Challenge Gravelgrinder Pro", 36mm on tubeless Ready DT Swiss R24. Alternatively sometimes i go on my "Schwalbe One TLE", 28mm, having had a simple setup by simply putting a tape in my non - tubless wheelset. They both role equaly fast, whilst the first are much more comfortable and require less attention to potholes etc. Thanks to tubeless and sealant flats are no more (cross fingers). Wouldnt ride tubed again. No flats is definitely faster :) and thats important on commutes and maybe also on gravel events, i guess.

1. Red Etap doesn't play nice as 1x, there are some bodges to be seen that seem to work. Shimano straight up doesn't play 1x. To make 1x work proper you want clutched rear mech. Sram made Force 1x for that. Shimano you need to use their mountain bike mechs to work. Gevenalle and Wolf Tooth produce products to make this work proper.2. Cranks, cassettes, and mechanical brakes don't matter. Everything else doesn't play nice.

My gravel bike has 3 sets on bottle cage mounts on the frame - the extra on is located under the down tube AND two more sets of mounts on the fork's legs, so you can have up to 5 bottles, though it mat be useful to have the bottom used for carrying spares and tools - lowering center of gravity - and use 800-900 ml bottles (e.g. Elite offers ones with cap - nice tip for dusty road). So one can easily put 3+ litres of water/fluid on a bike!

Katherine: hmmmm .....a new GCN presenter? That’s how they worked Emma in: a few expert segments and before you know it, a full presenter. I’m not complaining, I think they brighten up the channel!

You can mount a water bottle holder on the bottom of the frame between the bottom bracket and the front wheel. It will take some abuse, though, so don't make it your favorite bottle or holder.

B-rad system from wolf tooth might jam a bit more bottle room. Additionally most road cyclists suck it up an wear the camelbak like a mountain biker.

I'd be apprehensive putting my frames and group sets through the gravel mill.... Stone chippings and possible falls

It seems like your OS map is analogous to the USGS (United States Geological Survey) maps over here. They tend to be topographical maps with different shadings for different types of terrain.

Katherine, if you need a support crew for DK, I'd be happy to help. I've never been to the race, but I am just a few hours away in Lincoln, Nebraska-The home of the Gravel Worlds.

A really great video covering a topic slightly off the normal ones. Also a really impressive and composed presenting effort from Katherine on what is perhaps only her second appearance, you would have thought she'd been doing it for ages! Good luck to her on the Dirty Kanza.

The gravel or road debate is currently pointless in the UK as following the harsh winter it is impossible to find any smooth tarmac! Like it or not round my house all riding is like gravel riding.

Looking into getting into gravel next year. The roads here in the Black Hills aren’t very conducive to road riding. However the forest service roads and trails are abundant.

I want to upgrade my wheels and bike frame for cyclocross racing. I'll need to do this in two stages (years) as I don't have the money for what I want right now. can I get a pair of thru-axel disc wheels and use them on my quick release frame now and then upgrade my frame next year? #torqueback
