    the mix of bikes is what I find most interesting, drop bar gravel bikes, solid fork bike backing bikes, full suspension and hardtail trail bikes. I find it just goes to show that while there may be specialized niche category bikes, there really is no wrong bike, just what ever you prefer you and can make work.

    • @morganfothergill974
      @morganfothergill974 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Was literally thinking the same thing! Also people must choose to pack light, have a lighter gravel bike and get the job done quicker, against having full sus, packing more substantial and heavy food etc very interesting

    Love the bike design th-cam.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L and functionality. It is hard to align the front tired to center the disk brakes. The brake wheel touches the stationery side of the brake caliper and pad. I aired the tire up to 40 psi as the markings say 40-60psi. Left the house for a few hours and came back to an exploded innertube.All in all it seems to be a good bike. Have not ridden it yet though so that's the max of my knowledge. Update, put a new innertube made sure the tire was set properly and it did the same thing in under 20 minutes as second pic shows.

      They pretty much all run tubeless to start with but if you damage the beadseat or get a bad sidewall cut, sometimes you still need to put in a tube. That's when the pinchflats start...
