Jaco Greeff Posted October 2, 2021 Share Hi All I enjoy Mountain Biking, but would like to do some bike touring. Most of the youtube videos and channels I follow the guys have gravel bikes. Has anybody converted their MTB to a hybrid MTB / Gravel Bike ? I have a Momsen AL129 - 2021 model. https://momsenbikes.com/shop/uncategorized/al129-my21-2/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisF Posted October 3, 2021 Share Jaco basically it boils down to : - Where are you going to ride\tour ? 700C50 for bad roads, 700C30 for less rolling resistance .... Everytime I start thinking the rolling resistance of the C50 on my converted hardtail MTB is too high I ride a section of bad road and am quickly reminded of the benefits of a larger volume tire. - Fitting touring racks / bags to the bike .... dedicated touring bikes obviously have more lugs for fitting racks, but when you start searching the Hub you will find MANY solutions for "standard" frames. - Handle bars - Whatever you do, just dont call it a gravel bike if you still use flat bars .... MANY threads on this topic as well .... use what works for you I tried the drop bars, ENJOYING my flat bars. Jaco Greeff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
