      My next bike will definitely be a gravel bike w/ 650b wheels, both for the questionable roads around here plus having the option to explore new routes.

      What a beautiful and calm ride. Thanks a lot for sharing it.

      Your Reverse wheels remind me of the Stigmata 650b (2020-2022) builds which were a blast too, runnning on Reverse 25‘s. One of the best wheelsets I ever had the chance to ride with.

      Ha, Ripon, once home to one of the worst nightclubs in the Uk ( a florist by day)
      I was at college there- good riding, great bike shop, ( called Moonglu now I think) do they still do Karaoke in the Royal Oak?

      Chris, have you considered a suspension stem? It would help with the jarring and vibration to your wrists. I bought a Redshift one a few months back, I have no affiliation with them, but it’s made my rides feel like I’m riding on fresh tarmac 😍. We have a lot of roads which are resurfaced by spraying tar then spreading start stone and it makes for a horrid surface. Can’t say I notice those or any other surface. Still need to keep an eye out for the numerous potholes though ☹️. Love your videos btw.

      Thanks as always. What rear derailleur lets you use an 11 x 40 cassette? Is it a mountain bike cassette? I'd love to push my GRX gravel bike to that configuration.

      Great video and nice bike. What bars are you riding? Looked like road bars (didn’t notice flare). That color makes me wish I didn’t choose the Aspero in black. Cheers.
