Talk about "Uncut"!!!
Man I feel you with this post. I'm in the same boat. The gravel thing sure seems like loads of fun but I can't see gravel riding getting anymore that 10-20% of my riding. The thing I am struggling with is that I expect you are going down at a much higher rate than on the road (thanks goodness). And I really don't want to think about my carbon frame hitting the rocks and gravel! Several in my local bike club ride the Raleigh Roker and do just fine in our club rides. However it seems that most of the bikes that are true road bikes (road>>>>gravel) will only accommodate tires that I have been told are somewhat inadequate for softer gravel. Hell of a dilemma. But love this thread and thanks to you guys for giving your opinions.
