Eddy Gordo Posted July 27, 2019 Share Been dabbling with these gravel bikes since early 2015... Got told how it will never take off and its a waste I'm of the view that most Hard tail 29er riders should have probably chosen a Gravel Bike as they aren't exactly MTBing. In the same way may people on a road bike would like to have much fatter tyres and versatility other that a max of 28c So really interesting view point that it doesn't work... But for the non-racer both on MTB & Road, does it really matter what the "norm" is? I've read how eBikes are also frowned upon, but actually so what. Cycling like everything else is a personal choice, and so with the accessories along with it. The more options the merrier As long as we have optionsyep ride what you like, ride it like you stole it Farrnus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They use that on their Checkpoint bikes Many brands are putting short travel shocks on some of their range. With dropper seatposts and with 2.35" tyre clearance... And don't forget Niner's MCR. So, @Iwan Kemp's first post this thread is more relevant than ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
