Anyone Successfully Ride Their Gravel Bike on Single-Track?
Long story short: my dedicated MTB got stolen, so I'm back at square one riding my gravel bikes for everything. I had a few trails that I would ride that I wouldn't consider doing on my gravel bike for fear of, well falling off down a cliff and dying x_x.
After a few changes to my Giant Toughroad (wider drop bars, 29" tires, 1x10), I've been considering trying it again on some trails granted I feel like I have more confidence/experience when it comes to bike handling off-road. The trails I typically ride are rooty and steep with not a lot of jumps/drops.
I was curious to see if anyone else has used their gravel bike for singletrack and see how relatively successful you were. When I say successful I basically mean being able to complete a loop/trail without having a major mechanical or other issue that made it impossible to ride.
