So, gravel tire setup, cross tire setup, road tire setup.
It handles a bit less snappy than a Propel, sure, but if I'm not racing crits I don't really see the point. Comfort, enjoyment, and building the engine for TT, cyclocross, gravel, would be the priority.
I'll keep it as the Propel I carbon repaired a year after owning it. So useful for Zwift, sadly. But the 105 mech shifters compared to 12spd SRAM AXS is just utter garbage.
I'll see how I get on with it for a while. Also I love the flexibility now of having one bike that I can take several wheelsets with me on a training ride. Park at the cross course, do an hour of z2 road riding first, then swap wheels and do cross skills.
I'm trying to get back into riding and doing the PT stuff to be able to do it without the old issues popping up. Also have a giant tcx but it's a bit older. I would love a set of aero wheels for this thing for groad riding and then use the current set for more gravel oriented stuff.
I think cross is just something I'm never going to get around to and I'm okay with that. That reminds me that I have to sell a set of wheels that came with this bike.
