bikeman564™ Posted January 22, 2019 Share #3 Posted January 22, 2019 I bought a CX bike and use it on gravel rides & raced a gravel race last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donkpow Posted January 22, 2019 Share #4 Posted January 22, 2019 We don't have gravel roads. It's why I pay taxes. At least most of my taxes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My CX bike does double duty as well but it's a handful. Steep head tube and tall bottom bracket means that bike is extremely nimble and sketchy at speed. True gravel bikes are more relaxed with lower bottom brackets. But damn my crosser can get around a 180 degree turn quickly! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinneR ★ Posted January 22, 2019 Share #6 Posted January 22, 2019 I've had both. I prefer a gravel bike. It is much more stable at speed. I like the bigger tires and extra mounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the bigger tires and extra mounts. SoCal has extensive trail systems but they are all in the hills. It's a great area for mtn biking but not so much for gravel... I have no use for a gravel bike but I do think they are cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinneR ★ Posted January 22, 2019 Share #8 Posted January 22, 2019 I like that second video even more. Lines are getting blurred about what to label a bike. CX, gravel, mtn. Now you see All Road. Salsa used to call the Fargo a drop bar 29er. Now they put it in the All Road category. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
