Autumn is a great time to ride your bike, its warm, often dry and not to mention the stunning autumnal scenery! Naturally a ride including some gravel is perfect for this time of year, but what we can't agree on is the bike we should use! Alex and Si right are riding their full gravel bikes, whereas Manon and Ollie are toughing the rough stuff on their road bikes. And Hank, well he's doing Hank things...

@ChainringTattoo Год назад

In Defense of Hank. Those of us who commute up in the frozen North and need studded tires 3 months of the year have learned to run a studded front tire and regular rear tire. Why add the additional resistance to the rear where it isn’t as important? If the front washes out you make an impromptu snow angle, if the rear washes out you just look cool and make the highlight real.
