In early 2000s, road bikes are still a little bit expensive in China and the MTB is the most popular bike. Some people will choose to upgrade their MTB to make it faster, like replace the bigger chainring, replace a skinny tire and even install a drop bar. The concept of gravel bike is still not exist at that time, we call this bike Shan'ma（山马 which combine mountain and road）. This video brings me to those days.

Thank you for the interesting story. Indeed, some inventions do not become popular immediately, but after a while

Super film! Szkoda, ze nie pokazałeś dokranie śrub kluczem dynamometrycznym, to byłaby dobra praktyka. Film przydatny dla mnie, bo a) nie wiedziałem, ze przy wymianie jest taka filozofia, b) pokazałeś jak wygląda grawel z amorem i jak to pracuje. Mam grawela z płaską i amorem 6cm i zastanawiam się nad barankiem.

Dziękuję za twoje komentarze. Właściciel roweru doznał kontuzji ramienia, więc potrzebował amortyzowanego widelca. Taka wymiana zmienia geometrię roweru. Jeśli uda ci się znaleźć widelec z małym skokiem, to może okaże się jeszcze lepiej.

Nice bor 🇲🇦👍👍

thank you for your comment! 😘

Nice upgrade! I'm planning to do the same for my hybrid bike. Currently I have 700C wheels and I was wondering what would be the best fork size for me? Can I go with a 27.5 fork or do I have to get a 29 fork?

[@GoodBicycle]

Thank you for your comment. We put a 27.5 fork on this particular bike to prevent the handlebars from rising too high. If you don't use a very wide tire, then a 27.5 fork will be enough.

Excellent workshop 😃

[@GoodBicycle]

glad to be of service! thanks for your feedback 😘

[@yuriis1790]

Лютий монстр крос 😅. А те що геометрія істотно змінилась, мінімум на 80 мм перед став вищим, пофіг 😂

[@GoodBicycle]

Дякую за коментар. Щоб хоч якось компенсувати різницю по висоті поставили вилку під 27 ,5'' колесо

[@Jose71117]

Acabas de descubrir el mtb 🤦🤣🤣🤣🤣 ahora solo falta ponerle un maillar recto y certificaras el redescubrimiento del mtb en 2024 🤭

[@GoodBicycle]

También puedes poner un manillar de carnero en una MTB 😹

[@samlearnstosing]

my desired max tire size is 700x35c can i use 26er mtb fork. ? im afraid about the clearance not the height

[@GoodBicycle]

It's hard to guess without trying it on. It may or may not fit. Try to find a drawing of the fork on the Internet

[@clodimargois]

Isso acaba com a geometria, teria que ser uma suspensão com a mesma altura do garfo

[@GoodBicycle]

Sim, a geometria mudou, colocámos uma forqueta por baixo da roda 27,5 para compensar de alguma forma a diferença de altura.

와우! 신박합니다😅

No vas a la medida,parece como si estuvieras eskilado en un arbol,

[@GoodBicycle]

posiblemente

[@Cycle-Tourer]

It's not upgrading. You actually convert the gravel bicycle to MTB. I would replace the fork with titanium one. Also possible to replace the handlebar to titanium, and even the seat post to titanium. Like that your ride will be much cofortable

[@GoodBicycle]

In this particular case, the owner of the bike wanted a shock absorbing fork because he had an arm injury

[@spongebo8250]

I think this a Hybrid now

[@zadesrus5961]

Name fork?

Teraz to mamy MTB z barankiem😁

[@GoodBicycle]

👍😺

[@cezaro2336]

Teraz to baranek będzie jeździł na niby MTB

The most tiring thing about gravel is this boring geometry talk. What's more is people wanting to take care of other people's bikes. If you buy the parts yourself and assemble it yourself, your bike is not a gravel bike, if you buy it in a store and put on a bigger tire, your bike is not a gravel bike. A concept that started out as cool as the gravel bike, a versatile bike that allows you to ride in different places, today you can't even think about your comfort. Congratulations on the video, and may more people have the courage to leave their gravel the way they like most.

저 무거운 포크 일부러 떼서 버리는데.... 여긴 무거운걸 다시 달아부러.

그게 요점입니다. 그들은 그것을 벗어서 다시 입을 수 있습니다.)
