Show me your gravelbikes....inspire me.

Jumping on the Singular theme - While not a "gravel" bike my Swift has been ridden on gravel before. Haven't used this bike in a couple years but I really should.

Just mounted these Strada Biancas (and have the bruises to show for it- not an easy tire to mount!). I think this is the one for road and smooth gravel. I liked the Bon Jon(Jovi) Passes on dirt and rough roads but always found they cornered a little weird on the road. Maybe I'm just too used to "normal" road tires. Anyway my one-ride review of the Strada Biancas is that they still corner like a road tire but also ride great on smooth-ish gravel. For the singletrack around here you can ride on a cx bike I still prefer a bigger tubeless tire like the WTB Riddler, and I feel like with two wheelsets I could sell all my other drop bar bikes tomorrow (yeah right) and still do 99% of the riding I do today just as well splitting duties between this one and my MTB.

Is that the Barfly fender you have mounted there? How is it? Any rattling?

It is and it's solid. Stays in place and only makes noise if you run it too close to the tire. It's the epitome of a "selfish" fender because it doesn't stop spray straight back but otherwise I have no complaints and it's hard to beat the easy installation on bikes without fender mounts.

What headlight is that Sparky? Looks like a pretty good solution for forks without a drilled crown..

B&M IQ-X. The light can rotate in its harness so that the beam is right-side-up while hanging. Modified Go-Pro mount holds it from above.
