Converting a 26er mtb to a gravel bike?


Recommended Posts

Another option regarding your frame is getting it hydro dipped. There's over 200 patterns to choose from. Did mine. Basil.

 

Let's see a photograph.

A 26er frame should also accommodate 650b with 47c tires, so the WTB range and a few others. I have 650b x 42c WTB Resolute tires that slot into my steel Cafe racer, making it a super diverse bike.

 

I have an old 26er carbon frame I have been wanting to do this with for ages but I can't find a 440mm or shorted carbon QR fork like the old 26er Rapide pitchforks or the Java ones from China.

 

If someone in Cape Town has one of those and wants part with it or wants the old 26er frame give me a shout!

Mine is a small frame, flat bar, 29er wheels. 35c tires. Can go up to 38c.

10 speed 42-11 

 

But where is the drop bars? :ph34r:
