A Gravel Bike Buying Guide

Buying a new bike can be stressful but it should also be enjoyable. In this video I explain what to look for when shopping for a gravel bike based on what you plan on using the bike for.

Due to elitists saying they are a joke. I ordered a new Motobecane from bikesdirect. Reynolds 853 frame, carbon fork, latest Shimano GRX800 drivetrain and brakes....Im going to trick it out some and ride it lots. Reviews are great on them.

Brilliant video mate! Keep them coming! I entered for the Landrun 100, however, won't be able to attend since the bike I ordered won't be here in time. I sold my previous bike to pay for the new one as they said it'll be here. I even ordered it in the first week of January. Sigh. Good luck in the race!

Thanks for the video! Between the voodoo nakisi and bergamont grandurance 6, what would you recommend? I would like to ride the bike 50-50 road and off-road

Thanks for your video, very helpful! My wife and I are considering gravel bikes (we’re in our 50’s). We would use them on rails-to-trails (PA), so very clean, smooth and level trails. We’re in good shape (we both run), not interested in speed nor racing, just enjoyment. Can you recommend a few brands/models, say $500 range and $1000-$1500 range?

After having your future shock for a bit, what is your opinion? Have heard mixed reviews.

You need to do a video on tire sizes: 38-42 stuff like that

Awesome video man! What type of Kona is that behind you?

[pault]

Great video - can you recommend a flat top gravel bike?

If you haven't yet throw that praxis crankset away on your diverge. Mine was horrid. I went for time being upgrade to 105.

Did you hear about the future shock recall?

[pingpongballz]

Is there a suspension on the seatpost of your specialized?

TMI for a beginner. That's what makes buying a bike tough for a beginner 😴

My solution? My wife lets me buy as many bikes as I want.
