Picture of my Revolt fitted with 29 x2.2 tyres. Rides like a tank with these tires 👌 🤪

Wow how bikes have changed in the past 10 years. Don’t mind me just just squeezing in 2.2s in the back of my 2014 Scott scale. Gravel bikes are really starting to blur the lines between what is considered a mountain bike and a gravel bike.

Well seeing that its Friday.

I compared my scale to the Revolt's geometry and it seems like to Revolt will be more comfortable than my scale, twitchy but more comfortable with the higher stack and shorter reach.

I place my bet on a 38 tooth. Maybe 40 with a zero off set ring but the chain line will be a mess. 😜
