right, like an Olympics type of event done over several weeks. of course jpow would be left out in the current situation unless you come up with a way to do it covid isolation style, where you come up with challenges that each person can do alone wherever they are. the question is, do you keep each presenter on the bike of their discipline, do you take them out of their element and give them challenges on each kind of bike. personally I like the second option, especially since I know some of the presenters don't limit themselves to one discipline

@trainiax3 жыл бұрын
@@umtomtom "All-rounder" can mean different things. I've owned mountain bikes since childhood, but as soon as I started cycling more seriously last year the deficiencies on smooth surfaces (slow) and long rides (numb hands/wrists) became all too apparent. At the same time, I didn't want to give up disc brakes, stable handling and ride comfort on the many (often rough) gravel roads where I live. A gravel bike was the ideal solution - and even better, a second set of wheels with some narrower road-oriented tires essentially gives me 2 bikes in 1 (gravel and road). I've never uploaded to Strava, but it's impossible to deny the satisfaction that comes from going significantly faster for the same effort. If I want to go offroad, I still have an older hardtail - but for everything else the gravel bike is simply better.
@tongotongo31432 жыл бұрын
Significantly faster means you win about 10 minutes for one hour ride on a good surface. It means nothing if you aren’t going in a competition with time measurement. The faster you go with poor control drop bars the less safe is your trip. While on a hardtail MTB is safer and more stable, also more comfortable because front suspension and thicker tires. Also MTB slightly more upright position allows you to observe and enjoy surroundings more.

This video takes me back to a rainy summer bikepacking loop I took my partner on this summer; think Steamboat CO's "Gravel Gruel" plus the "Wyoming Trail". I think y'all nailed it with the gear ratio and handling disparities, but looking at storage choices (and weight distribution), rider gear to accommodate terrain outliers, and how taking in an epic view with a nip of whiskey or bit of legal herbs also makes the differences between his gravel bike and my hardtail somewhat irrelevant. Except for maybe his multiple flats, and how he ate all my snacks.

So I've watched every comparison video on GCN and GMBN, and the conclusion thus far is that the XC bike from yesteryear is the best overall. Gravel bikes are less good climbing and going downhill, and modern XC bikes lost the ability to go fast on level surfaces. An older 29 inch hardtail XC bike with 2 or 3 front sprockets and a decent lockable front suspention is the real middle ground here. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you could only have 1 bike that does it all decently well, the older gen XC bike would be it.

The flared drop bar allows me to do the UCI forbidden aero tuck, when I grip the top of the hoods, but also offers control and leverage in the wide drops.
