I love my mountain bike, but it’s no gravel bike.

I do gravel riding on my commuter bike. Is that alright?

Had the same experience. Convinced myself I was 18 again and really wanted an MTB (I am not). Rode a bunch of gravel to the point that I destroyed my 11 tooth and finally just bought a gravel bike. Still enjoy some XC from time to time but have put thousands of miles on my gravel bike since.

I’m a 45M that has only ridden mountain bikes since I was in high school. Recently bought a very bougie gravel bike and I like it but drop bars are taking a lot of getting used to. I don’t hate them but I find myself riding my mountain bikes more because they’re what I’m used to. The gavel bike is nimble and quick to climb and accelerate but the brakes are weird and I very rarely get into the drops. I don’t know what I was expecting.
