I've narrowed down my search for a new bike to either the Specialized Diverge or Specialized Sequoia. I mainly do mixed surface rides, but the amount of gravel/doubletrack during those rides varies from 20-90%. I also…
Is there anyone who has raced both a hardtail and gravel bike in a gravel race? Do you notice a big difference how fast you can go?
I've been riding one for the past few days so I'll give you my initial thoughts. Running the tires tubeless at about 40 or less psi pretty much takes away the vibrations of any gravel road with the fork. I've had hand…
So I'm looking for a new cyclocross/gravel bike. The main things I need it to have is clearance for 27.5 x 2.1 mtb tires and the ability to run a tapered steerer tube. Also, I would prefer for the frame to have more of…
You might also need to consider the terrain that you are riding. I can get away with drops if the terrain is relatively smooth, but if I'm doing a rough descent that I have to brake a lot on drop bars don't cut it for…
I think it depends on where you ride. Unless you have extremely winding roads(highly unlikely), the AWOL is going to do fine. I think its geometry is directed towards the touring crowd, but stability won't hurt you on…
I have a Crux(my third one actually) and I enjoy it. I got my road bike shortly after getting my first crux and I really enjoyed the shorter wheelbase. I'm a huge fan of short wheelbases, especially short chainstays,…
The chainstay length and wheelbase should be fine. I would be much more concerned about tire clearance. The bike is pictured with 30c tires on it and there doesn't appear to be much room for anything larger. If you live…
