Cyclocross and Gravelbiking (Recreational) This has to be the most physically intense sport ever invented. It's high speed bicycle racing on a short off road course or riding the off pavement rides on gravel like : "Unbound Gravel".

Can I mix Road to Gravel-specific groupset?

Hi all. I'm building my first ever gravel bike.

Quick question, can I use my Shimano 105 R7000 shifters with GRX 810 FD and RD? I'm having doubts pertaining to cable pull. Anyone here tried this before?

Also, I'm planning to buy a bike rack this month and I prospected this item, https://www.ramsareus.com/sku/tcoes599.html is this okay? I heard Thule is a known and trusted brand but still skeptical.

Will appreciate all the answers and apologies for the noob question.

Thank you

Yes, 105 r7000 shifters work with grx 11sp derailleurs. A GRX crank should be used with a GRX FD since both are designed to shift further away from the frame by a couple millimeters.

Yes you can. If you were to choose SRAM over Shimano, you could even mix some road/mtb components.
