  1. My gravel bike isn't very special except to me. I'm running a Poseidon Redwood that I upgraded the crankset and tires on, added a couple bags and a light and I just love it!

  2. Is a Gravel Bike faster than a Cross Country bike? Because suspension is suppose to help you go faster isn't it? I know when I rode my cyclocross bike on gravel it was harder to control and beat the shit out of my body. I hated it.

  3. I now don't run 42mm pathfinders on my 2020 Diverge – even if the "big S" say you can, scratches on the inside of fork blades and the chain stays say you can't! Now run 40mm max on my Diverge…

  4. Loved this vid, absolutely on the mark as to what you need to consider when starting out on this money pit of an adventure 😮😂🙀
    Brought myself a cheap secondhand frame off ebay 😮
    Fortunately for me🤔 my son is in the business 😁
    So my bike will be festooned with top end sram 'red' 'axs' 'zipp' and reverb 😎🥳
    Lucky lucky me🤪
    On a serious note, you could quite as easily do it on a real budget, just use the bike you have, or borrow one from a mate or neighbour (if you haven't got one, why not ask someone.🤔if you don't ask you won't get, and what's the worst that can happen is they say no??) , or there are some bike charities about, the bike kitchen in Reading is one , where they sell secondhand bikes cheap.
    I think the real winners are anybody who has a bike, no mater of how expensive or cheap it is?
    As long as you use it😁😎👍
