Yeah, I think when I do it, I want it integrated with the left brake lever (I'm on a 1x). The placement of the PNW shifter they show looks a little awkward to me--certainly easy access, but I feel...

Yeah, I could use the PNW Pine (external routing) for $215. The placement they show for their drop bar lever is interesting--not sure if I'd dig that being there. Certainly a good deal but I've blown...

I have recently done that too, just as an experiment, to see how my gravel rig feels with the seat lowered. As expected, it made one of my regular rather scary descents less scary.

I can't imagine riding up that. I rode down a few times on my mtb but honestly for me it's just not worth it. And especially not in the drops on a gravel bike! And it's all washed out/rutted now...

Ha! Yep. Before getting into the gravel bike thing my sole bike for about 3 years was my rigid singlespeed 29'r MTB. My friends on their full sus rigs always thought I was crazy, considering where we...

Where I like to ride over here it's nearly impossible to NOT experience this nearly every time out! Was just coming down a section of Cherry Canyon yesterday and got spooked and had to get off and...

Dropper posts on gravel bikes...

I searched and didn't find too much discussion about this yet. I'm seeing some gravel rigs starting to come with dropper posts. Got me thinking. I have plenty of gnarly descents where I ride - steep,...
