Vetseun Posted August 9, 2018 Share If you need a dropper on your gravel bike are you riding the right bike? #EkVraMaarNetSent from my SM-G920F using TapatalkPlus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewbacca Posted August 9, 2018 Share Did a quick Muizenberg to the mast and back this afternoon on the gravel bike.... dropper was awesome going down the mountain. Snake trails are a bit washed out so being able to throw the bike around unhindered was a win. If you can'y afford one then yeah.. If you just ride your GB on the tar and rough roads then meh, not at all, but if you like a bit of zing in your rounder, it makes the bike more capable with really no downside. Okes hating probably just can't afford it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoBigBen Posted August 10, 2018 Share Not hating but wondering how long it will be before we see the first local full suspension gravel bike .... Just in case someone comes across an XCO course on their way home you know [emoji6] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchelicious Posted August 10, 2018 Share Not hating but wondering how long it will be before we see the first local full suspension gravel bike .... Just in case someone comes across an XCO course on their way home you know [emoji6]Would it be so bad? Maybe it’s the best thing since 29ers or maybe the next biggest fad since fat bikes, suppose we don’t know until som body try’s it. Remember how th dual sus guys got mocked at XCO just a few years back, now it’s the norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewbacca Posted August 10, 2018 Share Or maybe we can prevent people wasting money like the 'fatbikers', who knows as you say ... [emoji6]hahahaha 'not hating' but comparing anything to fat bikes says otherwise! I think a little 60mm travel front and rear would be awesome. Wide flared 52mm drops with decent brakes and 43mm tires run a bit harder because you have some comfort squidge and you have yourself a weapon right there. Low rolling resistance, comfort, the ability to sit and turn a crank on corrugation, no broken wrists or palms descending long windey washed out gravel passes, still looks sleek and road bikey.... Living the dream right there I would say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
