What are this year's must-have accessories to be an Unracer™? I don't want anyone to think I'm one of those cyclists, ugh. This is NOT a race!

I'm impressed that someone can bike at all with only one leg, let alone on gravel.

It's not all that difficult if you run clipless, or better yet fixed gear. The hardest part is starting and stopping. Of course, you lose some power too.

How are these fags any different from roadies who spend too much on Rapha?

They claim to be different, but they’re the same. They just wear different clothes and ride different bikes.

At least roadies don’t pretend to be pragmatic anti-consumers like these unracer fags.

i didnt screw the pedal into my bike properly and it fell out so i had to bike home with one leg.

surprisingly not bad at all. it was just awkward keeping the foot i wasnt using out of the way but the pedaling itself wasnt difficult.

I've been doing long tours with cotton underwear and regular sports shorts. Actually that's how I always ride (except few times in my life when I've actually been racing). I've never had any issues. Helps to be skinny. And quality seams on underwear is good to have but that's something you want for every day life too.

When I think of real gravel riding, I think of this guy Guitar Ted. He lives in Iowa and they have miles and miles of service roads like pic related and very unsafe road riding with no shoulder + high speed limits + uncaring drivers. So they have a serious motivation to make gravel work. The pictures I'm seeing look like finer gravel and a lot more dirt than your picture

He's got an in depth interview with pathlesspedaled if you are curious

Gravel is a horribly defined term I agree, where I live within 100 miles you can find gravel roads that look like what you posted and what >>1440098 posted. The worst I've personally ever seen is something like pic related where I thought the 35mm tires I was on were fairly inadequate.

>>1440073
All of the gravel races I've done have just been a bunch of strong roadies at the front pushing the pace and 90% of the field falling off the back for the first 10 miles. If it's a flatter course I stay with them, if there's a bunch of climbing involved the skeletons and midgets ride away from me and I end up riding solo the entire time.

That's basically XC. All of the good gravel rides in the PNW are best done on a XC bike with 2.1" semislicks or XC race tires and barends.

Yes, I definitely agree, a mtb would have been ideal for that really rough section. But it was a 100 km race, and that section was less than 1 km, the other 99 km was either like pic related or on asphalt, so a mtb would have been a hindrance otherwise. It's really hard to recommend what someone 'needs' for gravel riding without having ridden the same roads they plan to ride.

If you’re short and light yes 28s are great on tame stuff like that. But as I feel like I said previously, the condition of gravel roads are always changing, and especially in a race if you’re riding around a bunch of others you don’t get to pick what line you take down the road, so you may be riding into holes or washboards that you would have otherwise avoided if there weren’t 20 other riders around you. I always say bigger is almost always better for gravel. For tires.
