Hey Reddit community,
I just picked up my first gravel bike, the Curry Powder Canyon Grizl, and I’m stoked to hit the trails! But… I’m totally new to gravel riding and don’t have any gear yet. I could really use some advice on clothing, gear essentials, and recommendations on brands to look into.
1. Clothing Basics: What should I prioritize as a new gravel rider in terms of bib shorts, jerseys, jackets, gloves, shoes, and eyewear? Are there any differences in gear compared to road cycling that I should keep in mind?
2. Color Combos: The bike has a bold “Curry Powder” color (a kind of mustard yellow) — what clothing colors would pair well with this? I’m looking to keep it stylish, so any suggestions on color combos would be much appreciated.
3. Brand Recommendations: Which brands would you recommend for quality gear that fits well and is durable enough for gravel rides?
I appreciate all your insights and look forward to joining the gravel community! Thanks in advance! 🚴♂️. I live in Scandinavia
