 To compensate, the cockpit has gotten shorter across the board, and you tend to see 80 or 90 millimeter stems across most sizes. All of this means that you are less pitched over the front of the bike. That is the key thing. When you look at the reach figures

 For what it's worth, this bike is built with a two by drivetrain with a 4831 crank set matched with an 11 to 34 cassette. For the type of riding I enjoy and in particular riding here in the southwest of the Uk, a 2 by setup makes a lot of sense, though you will spend the majority of your time in the outer ring and rolling terrain. It's really nice being able to dump down into that little ring when you come to the bottom of a steep climb. If versatility is what you're looking for on a gravel bike, there's no denying that a double setup definitely makes sense

 With a shorter stem but a longer reach, the overall fit of the bike will be largely the same, but when it comes to steeper trend, you are just not quite as far over that front wheel. The slacker head angle also makes a really big difference in rocky terrain where has less of a kind of nervous tendency to jitter around rocks and it just feels more like a sled as you plow through. None of this is new, and none of it should come as a surprise. Mountain bike geometry has been moving this way for years now, and the kind of convergence between gravel and mountain bikes has been a long, long time coming, so I fully expect that again

 As you lean over in, you know, kind of tighter corners, you get this quite unnerving transition between the smooth section and the tread on the outside. Likewise, the tread is also pretty much useless in the wet trails we typically find here in the Uk. There's no shoulder knobs, they're very easy to clog up in mud, and if there's anything approaching off camber, we'll call them thrilling. Now, if I set the bike up tubeless and I played around a little bit more with pressure, I'm sure I'd be more satisfied with them, particularly on harder surfaces

 You are a fool if you buy the black bike. Now there's further details in our original diverge video, and I'm not going to repeat them all here, But as a brief refresher, the geometry of the new diverge was largely inspired by trends in mountain bike geometry. Over the last few years, mountain bikes have on average, gotten longer, slacker, and lower. With reach numbers increasing, head tube angles slackening out, and bottom brackets getting perilously low to the ground, the diverge follows suit and across most sizes, you see a roughly 10 millimeter increase in reach, a slightly slacker head angle in most sizes

2021 Specialized Diverge Review | A Tremendously Capable & Versatile Gravel Bike

On my Specialized Diverge I run Panaracer Gravelking SK, SS, or Slick depending on the ride. For proper gravel rides I'll run the Gravelking SK in a 38, on something like Little Elbow - Big Elbow the Gravelking SK in a 43 is my go to, the SK's definitely roll pretty well on tarmac, but for our roads / pathways early season or jumping on some smooth trail the SS is awesome. I have a few sets of wheels so I'll have a road/gravel set up going and then a gravel/trail set up.

I just got a 2021 Trek Checkpoint ALR5 and plan on using it mostly for road riding along paved roads with some travel on gravel roads in the mountains of western Canada during the summer. As I come from the world of mountain biking, I'm keen on tubeless and I'd like to swap out the stock Bontrager 770c x 40 Gr1 comp tires for something more efficient but still durable. I'd love to hear some recommendations for good-value (no need to break the bank) tires that will perform well on pavement in the extremes of the Canadian mountain environment (often there's loose gravel on pavement, temperatures ranging from 0°C to 35°C).

Best tires for paved and gravel mountain roads

I'd say no - you can buy something just as good or 95% as good for cheaper. Seller doesn't seem like they're in a rush to sell if they started the price at 1500. I'd look in bike shops for entry level gravel/all road bikes Trek Checkpoint/Specialized Diverge and they'd be brand new under 1500.

should i buy this bike for $1100?

 There's no strain on your back and neck, and actually the the extended hoods and the flared bars give you plenty of positions to sort of hold on to when you're getting in. And I've found that I've been able to do some pretty big efforts on this bike on the tarmac and riding back in from the trails. And it's been. It's performed admirably in its current setup, so definitely something that helps with this is that carbon frame

 Now that would be eliminated a little bit with a one by group set, but you have to consider, is that worth it for losing that range if you're riding on road or off-road completely loaded up with bags and for me, it's not really worth it. and you do tend to come to live with the chain slap a little bit. So this isn't the Di2 model, which does mean you get these slightly bigger huds at each end, but actually on-road and off-road they feel really good compared to what you might get on a road bike, and they kind of because of the bike's biggest shape. I feel like they're less noticeable and they give you a really comfortable holding position

 So my way of riding that specific type of riding I do has been a real testing ground for this bike in its current setup. Can it excel at riding on tarmac? And can it excel riding off-road So I'll talk about the road riding side of it first. This is a really, really comfortable bike to do extended bits of road riding on. It's long, so it feels super stable when you're riding along, and it's quite high as well, and it's very easy to sit on the drops and feel quite comfortable

 Now this bike uses Specialized Fact 9r carbon frame, so this is the comp model. It doesn't use that top end 11r, but it's still very good and it's a very it's a stiff frame. It is performance focused. It feels like you can ride it really quickly when you're riding along the road, and it's worked very well for me now

Specialized Diverge Review: The Do-It-All Gravel Bike? | Cycling Weekly

- Specialized Diverge E5 Base (2021). I'm 5ft 11" (182cm) and the deciding factor for me will be which of the two bikes will provide a more comfortable riding position with a slightly more upright posture. It's recommendes i go for the Medium size in the Topstone or the size 56 in the Diverge.

r/camping

The Surly Midnight Special has the best frame quality among the steel bikes you listed and the Checkpoint is by far the best aluminum bike on your list and in it's category. I think both are a little over the top for a first bike, personally, but if you want to buy once and be done they are worth the money.


I will mostly be riding on mostly paved trails and maybe commuting as I’m located in the Dallas TX area, but would like a bike that has the capability of going on gravel roads, dirt trails, and bikepacking in the future. I’m not looking for fastest bike - especially considering most of the trails we’ll be riding on are shared with pedestrians - it’s mostly for fitness and the fact that my wife loves to bike. I’ve watched some of the Path Less Pedaled videos on YouTube and it’s definitely that type of ride vibe I’m looking for. 

I am looking for a high-quality, low maintenance, easy-to-maintain and repair bike. I’d like this bike to last me long-term and be extremely versatile.

Im not sure if this affects anything, but I’m a bit of a “Clydesdale” at 6’2”, 220lbs, and a 33” inseam. Not sure if that would affect any recommendation (tire size, better frame geometry, etc.)

Some options I’ve considered are as follows:
Trek FX 1 Disc - $680
Poseidon X - $750
State 4130 All-Road - $900
Poseidon Redwood - $950
State 6061 Black Label - $1400
Salsa Journeyer Sora - $1500
Salsa Journeyer Apex 1 - $1800
Canyon Grizl 6 - $1900
Priority Apollo Gravel - $2000
State 4130 All-Road XPLR AXS - $2000
Canyon Grizl 7 1by - $2200
Canyon Grail 7 - $2200
Surly Midnight Special - $2300
REI CO-OP ADV 2.3 - $2400
Salsa Journeyer GRX 600 700c - $2400
Trek Checkpoint ALR 5 -$2500
Priority 600 - $2500

To be honest, I don’t know a ton about bikes and just want to hit the easy button. The Poseidon Redwood stands out to me due to overall features and price point, and the Priority options (Apollo and 600) stand out due to their belt drive and internally geared hubs.

Thanks for taking a look and any advice you can offer!

Forever/Jack-of-all-Trades Bike? Help my Analysis Paralysis!

Otherwise, the Surley does that and everything else. Shit, I did some cross country riding on it a few weekends ago. Back to that geometry thing, I appreciate it because it rides just like I expect a road bike to ride, but the frame is ripe for customizing it to be anything you want. It's important to me because I bought it to do everything my carbon road bike can't, only to enjoy it more on what I would normally use my road bike for in the first place

I’m looking to downsize the amount of bikes I have and I’m looking for a kind of do-it-all road bike

Mostly I’ll be using it for commuting 2 miles, some urban riding, hauling groceries and a trailer with a kid. But I also want to be able to take it out for a long 30-50 mile ride comfortably. 

I want something with disc brakes and mounts for racks and fenders. Every LBS just suggests a gravel bike, but I really don’t need 42mm tires, that’s overkill. I’m also worried about a 1x set up. Plus the “gravel” trails near me are fine on skinny tires

What kind of bike would be best? I’m really struggling with this. Thanks!

Need helping finding the right style of bike

I tested a surly midnight special for similar purposes, and was stunned. The thing is quite heavy (not important if not hilly), rides fast and nimble, but has fat tires that (together with the steel frame) suck up everything. Cobblestones which have the assumed purpose of slowing down bicycles (in Antwerp) felt like hardpacked gravel feels on my road bike (i.e

Currently I ride a (\~7yo) cross-hybrid bike from Bulls. It has decent parts and does the job. I have been looking at eBikes, but came to the conclusion that my current bike is faster. Going over the 25km/h limit (Europe) with an eBike is much more difficult then with my current bike. My cruising speed on this bike is around 20-25km/h, but if I push I easily get to 30km/h and if I really push I manage to get to 40km/h (on flat tarmac).

I'm using it mostly for commuting a short distance (6km / 3,75 miles one way) and occasionally doing larger trips (20-25km / 12-16 miles one way) during weekends. We have an Urban Arrow family cargo bike which my wife uses on those trips and I'm following on my own bike. I would like to start using the bike for larger distances as well (instead of the car), but the cross-hybrid bike is not comfortable enough for me to do that. It also takes too much time.

I chose the cross-hybrid because regular city bikes tend to break easily with my driving style. I don't really go off-road, but it's not tarmac all the way. If you go fast on things like a cobblestone road a regular bike won't hold up for long.

Anyway, I'm looking for a new bike with the following requirements:

* Should be able to hold up on all types of non-offroad roads/speed bumps etc.
* As fast as possible
* Somewhat comfortable to ride for longer rides
* Not too much maintenance, I don't have much time to do it myself

Since I'm also using it for commuting I also bring along a backpack. Having a sweaty back when arriving at work is annoying, but I can't seem to mount the backpack (Peak Design 30l everyday backpack) to my bike now since it is too big/heavy. So keeping it on my back is still an option. 

I'm thinking about getting a gravelbike (like the Koga Colmaro Allroad) since they are really fast and should not knock me of my bike when it rains or there is a speedbump in the road. I could use it for long distance trips as well I believe. Am I correct their, or would you rather suggest a hybrid-race bike or tour bike for example (ignoring budget for now)?

I'm not looking for advice on a specific bike, just the type of bike. Thanks!
