I've always hated road pedals and shoes anyway.
Yup, I don't change anything, just swap wheels and go, same pedals/shoes/seat height. The only thing I'm changing is rotors, figured out that the stock rotors aren't as thick as the Shimano rotors on my road wheels, so I'm putting Shimano rotors on the gravel wheels so that there's no adjustment period when swapping. I'm also enjoying the SPD pedals, def easier to use, and you can actually walk in the shoes. lol
I will say that while I am enjoying my gravel bike pulling double duty, if I were actually racing crits or road races, I'd probably still want a race bike to eek out every bit of speed I could. But for training rides, solo or group, it's great!
