Ger, Una, Congratulations sa new bike, at maraming salamat as RD Cycles for supporting you and your channel. Very nice bike check of a really excellent bike. Siguro, dahil nag umpisa akong gumamit nang MTB in the early 1980's, wala pang suspension noon, I am somewhat skeptical sa tinatawag na, "gravel bike". I was telling myself, bakit mong gustong bumalik sa dating MTB, na hard tail. Very uncomfortable. I looked at gravel bikes as a marketing hype. Wala silang pinag kakaiba sa mga MTB bikes ko noon, except may drop bar. The fact that there are now front and rear suspensions made for gravel bikes seems to proved my point. Then I started to realized na may unique selling point ang tinatawag na gravel bike. It is, if you look at it, a perfect touring bike. Versatile, that was the word that you used, best describes it. Parang chameleon ang capabilities. It does not have the full capabilities of a mountain bike, cycle cross bike or a road bike, pero, it has some of these bikes capabilities. A gravel bike can tackle some off road trails, is relatively faster than a regular front suspension MTB, and geometry wise, your position is more comfortable than a cycle cross or a racing road bike, hence, you can travel long distances with comfort. And, honestly, for most of us, that is more than enough. Versatility, that is the biggest selling point and the reason why gravel bikes became mainstream. Enjoy your new bike and new adventures. Ingat lagi. Maraming salamat!

Im planning to buy a gravel bike this Christmas 🎁.... But i still love RB❤❤❤ having 2 bikes Much better 😊😊😊😊

[@alissandrobautista5874]

Dahil sa ganito lalo kong na-justify na mag prompt sa hybrid set up. Quality build sir!

[@justinfo-jepy355]

Congratulations sir... galing ako mtb, roadbike at ngaun gravel bike na. Nagka topstone4 din ako. Ngaun trek checkpoint ulit. :)

[@benedicvelasco]

Dati gusto ko din road bike. Kaso narealize ko na hindi ko naman gustong sobrang bilis at kailangan ready ako sa mga basurang kalye ng NCR etc. Mas may sense talaga gravel for me. Masyado namang inefficient and MTB for me.

[@invain143]

Same here. Na try ko road bike, madulas sa gilid gilid ng kalye kamuntikan na ako marumba at magulungan. Since that, nag change ako to gravel tires, now all goods with much more confidence on the road..

[@goatlinkcyclingchannel263]

Sir Ger, may I kn

[@victorvanv]

glad to see you enjoying your gravel bike. quick note lang po, sa grx400 na rd up to 36t lang ang max and kung naka 1x na setup, pwede gamitan ng tiagra na shifters for mechanical disc brakes instead of hydraulic. pero sa 11 speed po na grx rd pwede 11-42 na cassette.

[@mercadventures]

Sir Ger, ngdagdag po ba kau nang chainlink dahil mas malaki ung chainring?

[@GerVictor]

Yes po

[@attyrage]

I agree. Bumili din ako ng gravel, revolt 1. Although Hindi ko benentta yung mtb ko, dami kasing humps sa village. Mas ok mtb dito sa amin.

[@Neh.jan10]

Napaka versatile talaga ng gravel bike, i use to own a hybrid pathlite bike though ok sya off road medyo hirap kapag nag road naman, i switch to gravel bike kase superb ang ride off/on road i own grizl 7 same ng components ng bike na yan 😊

[@zanguro6200]

Hi idol bro, Hows the bike after ng few months? I plan to get one soon.

[@stephenuy398]

san po tayo makakabili ng mount light nyo sir ang cool 😎 thanks po

Ano po year model yan topstone2? Ty

[@cyclingchefglenn]

Gravel is the key ❤

[@mezapski]

Hey there, sir Ger Victor! Your vlogs are a total blast - keep up the awesome work! I'm a fellow gravel bike enthusiast, and I'm all about that versatility it brings. Best of both worlds, right? 😄 I've got a quick question about the Magene Power meter. I'm rolling with a GRX 600 crankset, and I'm curious if the P505 spider-based power meter fits without needing to swap out the crank. Also, could you share where you snagged the power meter from and if installation comes with the deal? By the way, major props on that Absolute Black Oval chainring - loving the setup. Mind sharing where you got your hands on it? Hehehe!

[@cicliolmo7152]

hello po - what is the name of the bike stand you are using @ 4:42 ?

[@alvinkennethnunez5572]

San mo nabili yung fender ko? Thank you 😊

[@runmiltality5230]

Thats real Gravel bike not hyvrid setups..like it Lods may gravel ako build lang low budget lang kaya di naka GRx components 😊

Anong brand ng carbon fork sir?

Nice...😊

[@NardoFutek]

ganda ❤

[@yernojsevic]

Sir, ano po yung headlight mo, & cyclocomputer, kasama na ba yung mount?

[@disiplinadongsiklista640]

I would choose mtb parts on the front handle. Too expensive pag gravel components.

[@migo8259]

Share ko lng sir. I convert my 26' into Gravel,(maliit na wheelset kaya mabigat na Load up to 30 kls.) u can use Tanpan para makagamit ka ng Widerange Cassete, or May nabibili na Microshift Bar End shifter para sa mga Mtb Rd like Shimano or Sram, then i really want the Benefits of Hydraulic Brakes, bumili ako ng adaptor para sa dropbar, malagay yung Brake lever ng Shimano I spec. also since Mtb Crankset sya, pwd ako mag 1x , pero Teka..may extra small chainring ako pang emergency para sa matirik na climb. In conlusion sir. maganda talaga kung steel Frame,kc nag absorb sila Vibration at small bump(less fatigue) mabigat lng, pero ok sa mga Adventure rides

[@AnthonyStJames-yn8nr]

Ger, saan mo nabili yung dolphy na reflector? gusto ko ng ganyan!

[@ritchiesantiago4361]

Sir Ger, san mo nabili un Selle San Marco saddle mo at magkano... thanks

[@trailsandbeyond]

Not sure kung advisable for gravel bikes pero for better accessibility and aesthetics, mas ok ata fidlock water bottle na..

[@inapaulabautista9894]

Sir tanong ko lang kung mas ok po ba na naka air suspension fork yung gravel bike or ok na yang rigid?

[@nowrideyourbike-nyrb]

kahit anong bike walang problema pang bumaba, enduro bike nga sinasakay ng sasakyan para sa tuktok para mag downhill gravel bike pa kaya na intended for touring. Nice bike, Cannondale to go!

Ako gusto ko mag setup ng gravel bike. Kaso itong mtb alloy frame ko mabigat bigat, needed tlga ng mod effort to maintain the 30-35kph sa patag

[@Shiro-0001]

fellow gravel bike rider here, mas may sense pa talaga to kesa mtb na naka airfork then nasa highway

[@Mjenunez]

Dahil dito mukhang magpapalit nko from mtb to Gravel, speed narin kasi hanap ko at di narin ako gaano naglalaro ng xc for safety purposes.

[@johnleejekhcaspillo6237]

Enjoy gamitin ang gravel bike lalo na sa lubak2 na daan ng pilipinas, lalo n kung d nman speed ang habol, 😊

ok gravel bike kaso mas mahal lang sa typical mtb and road parts ang presyohan. Yung mga budget "gravel" frame, cyclo cross daw tlaga ang geometry.
