TIB Posted May 8, 2017 Share Gravel bikes are as confusing as Pure Savage and puresalvage for a weak reader rider... Edited May 8, 2017 by TIB ScottCM, bikebloke, Kalahari Vegmot and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalahari Vegmot Posted May 8, 2017 Share Gather some friends. Choose a gravel road. Ride flat out for 100km.Does that count or does somebody else need to organize it? Skinnyone, carbon29er, AJG and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJG Posted May 8, 2017 Share 36one is basically a gravel race.[/ Our dirt roads in SA are pretty rough. They are not like most gravel roads in the States. When I lived in Colorado you could ride most gravel roads on a normal road bike. Over here a gravel bike is better with at least 38c tyres. 361 is doable on a gravel bike but it won't be fun. Coming down Rooiberg I was happy to be on a monster cross with a Lauf fork and not my other gravel bike. Underachiever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure Savage Posted May 8, 2017 Share There were some gravel grinders there. They didn't feature...To be fair, there were probably some Scalpels and Epic's at the event that didnt feature either... L46 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJG Posted May 8, 2017 Share To be fair, there were probably some Scalpels and Epic's at the event that didnt feature either...If you are going to win or feature (whatever that means) then you'll want to be on a mountain bike for 361. A gravel type bike just makes the challenge more interesting. Anyway guys that choose to ride a bike like this aren't going for the podium.
