Hi again Grant! Love this video and great tips for someone just getting into gravel stuff. Going to be in Scotland soon on similar terrain but I've still got the stock tyres on my topstone 2 which are not tubeless, what would you recommend putting on it (or just risk it with the tube set-up for now)?

[@grantritchie]

Definitely go tubeless! I’ve got panaracer gravelkings. I made a video ‘my gravel bike setup for 217km…’ with the full specs.

[@thomaswightwick]

Great video Grant, love the tips and Dan is a top bloke!

[@grantritchie]

He’s a legend!

Great videos. Enjoy the video on Komoot, I'm new to komoot can you do a video on how to get the map onto the bike computer, I use the LEZYNE mega xl unit as I'm not sure how this works (gpx file) keep video coming

[@grantritchie]

Thanks, glad you’re enjoying them! In terms of getting route on your head unit it varies depending on the model. For my wahoo bolt it automatically loads but you might need to check instructions for your specific unit.

You did me dirty with that Veloforte bar.... hahaha

If you’d watched my energy bar video you’d have known it wasn’t possible ;) haha!
