>>1861087"Gravel" gear is all about performative slowness though, so if anything grabble is the most gendered bike of all. To paraphrase Frank Herbert: "Grabble reality is performative which means, quite simply, that it is real only to the extent that its consoomers take pains to distinguish themselves from roadies. It seems fair to say that certain kinds of gear is usually interpreted as expressive of a cycling clique or identity, and that this gear either conforms to an expected roadie/mountaintard identity or contests that expectation in some way"
