Think the bikes are OK .. worse part of it I was riding my gravel bike ... he has a hardcore road bike not suitable for some of the rides we do or a 26" MTB which he found he was struggling to keep up with us on so I lent him my 29er to see if he felt it made a difference so both the bikes involved were mine.
