Any of these free tips useful for you? or even better have any tips to share of your own?!?

Pretty happy to have come from a MTB background. Gravel is like MTB for toddlers, but it seems to mystify the road guys quite a bit lol

[@wiggle]

Exactly that 🤟

[@DaneKromer]

It’s worth noting that on gravel, finding the good line often makes a huge difference. This often negates the advantages of drafting, especially in a cross-wind. Group dynamics have to adjust accordingly.

100% right Dane 🙌

More pressure on rough stuff? Always heard that you'd go lower pressure to soak it up and maintain traction.

[@wiggle]

Hi Dan, your right! In some cases where you'd be running super rough terrain and getting rim hits youd have to increase a few PSI to help stop that. Seems like you already know the crack...but we've actually made a video covering gravel tyre pressure here in more detail kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3mpdq2Kobhgbqs

It is counterintuitive, I agree. But what was meant is the compromise between cushioned ride and hitting rims hard on really rough rocks and roots.

Also, having in mind that tire size varies a lot between gravel bikes and mtb… if you’re a heavy guy like me, about 100kg, having a bit extra on the rear tire is really helpful, more comfortable and safer.

Cheers for the tips Bruce 🐒 🤙

Interesting:)

Great tips I like the monkey wiggle :-). Also if I may, use a full-face helmetlike they use in mtb - since forward projection of rider in gravel is more likely w washboards, ruts which may cause instantaneous stoppage and projection. We’re in “mtb land’ now, so mtb gear (full face helmet, elbow padding, etc)

As I live and learn i see how corporate greed and their marketing sellouts/tools will pitch anything and unintelligently rationalize concepts and facts to profit off of the gullible trend zombies. ALL misleading a side, if you want an excellent paved or off road biking experience get the bike that was scientifically designed for the category.
