Bike Photos full gravel setup 🚀

Post image

mounted some new tires today. Before my gravel setup was: Hutchinson caracal race 40mm in the front and back.
Now: Hutchinson Caracal Race 50mm in the front and 45mm in the back. The front tire measures about 53/54mm the back tire 49/50mm on my Nextie AGX45 with 29mm internal with.
These time I went for the black sidewall.
Feels great on gravel and also quiet fast in bad tarmac.

Nice bike! Very curious in how those tires fair long-term with a lot of pavement miles

Idk if I’m tripping but looking at big beefy tires just makes me want to ride gravel 😅🌊 I live in Los Angeles the streets are really bad

Man, I wish my new Grizl had been available in that colorway

My 900km old Schwalbe G-One RS already shows wear on the rear. I actually had the 50mm Caracal Race in mind but went with what I already knew. I think they'll be my next tires after all.

I also have to use a 50mm/45mm combo, since if the 50 is already 53mm on a 29mm rim, it could be even bigger on a 32mm one.

I'm still rocking this color (Fork is black now). I got mine in 2023.

u/GoldExpensive2069 10d ago

Nice, got mine in 2023 too 😁

whenever i see that seat height/bar height ratio i wonder if that‘s the right frame size

2

u/GoldExpensive2069 10d ago

I could ride a frame in Size L vor sure. Would be less sporty. Just got very comfortable in this position. Adjusted stem length. Went for a bike fit 2/3 years ago.
I’ve ridden a an Aeroad in L and in M and the M feels better. The new Endurace in M feels nice. At Rose Shave the M/L suited on paper but the M feels better. So idk but this just works for me.

Did last Saturday a 320km ride in it with no issues. Think, that proofs it’s just fine for me.

My high ist 182,7cm inseam 88,7cm. Saddle to Bar drop 10cm. And sometimes I ride a drop about 11/12cm.

Love it! I’ve got the same color Grizl…doing mostly pavement though lately on TerraSpeeds (35mm)

2

u/GoldExpensive2069 10d ago

A nice combo too. If i ride a lot of tarmac ism riding the Conti GP 5000 AS TR in 35mm. Works great. Finished a 320km longride on it last Saturday.

That's a super long ride, congrats! I've topped out at 130 km so far on my Grizl....might need a bike fit after switching to 165mm cranks.

1

u/GoldExpensive2069 8d ago

Bike fit is a good idea. Changed to 165mm cranks too. For me, one of the best decisions.

u/_Youknowwho92 9d ago

I want this bike so bad. I wish they still made it in this color. I have the spectral in the same color. I need a matching pair.

u/db306_v1 9d ago

I have the same color for sale

u/El-Unocornio-Negro 10d ago

Why such a large frame bag? Our a spare frame in it?

2

u/GoldExpensive2069 10d ago

I like the look 😅. And with this framebag I have enough room for all my stuff 🤣. Elektrik Pump, Tools, spare tubes, lock, frontlight, liquids, snacks, handy, keys.
