I'm looking for that "do it all" bike, but I'm kinda lost in the weeds. You have anything from people saying that you can put wider knobbys on a road bike all the way to saying that you need a FS MTB. I currently have a Trek Crossrip LTD, which is an XC bike with 32c wheels. I'm looking to be able to do road rides, but would also like to hit some trails, like picrel which is only a few miles from me. The problem is with trail ratings is that they are more catered to MTB riding. Do you think that I'd be better with either A: upgrading my current bikes wheels/tires to something like a 38-40mm allroad/gravel setup. B: Just buying a higher spec'd gravel bike that's more on the MTB side than the road side and keeping my current bike as more of a road/city bike. Or C: Getting a hardtail MTB and having a nice diversity of styles? I'm completely ignorant about MTB's, but I don't think a FS is warranted for my area. I'm not against them, but they are way more expensive, and higher maintenance, and legit downhill stuff is more of a weekend excursion.
