I‘m using tire inserts on my gravel bike so I can go to 25 PSI (and probably even lower) on 38 tires. Really comfortable, fast and tons of grip even on really tough terrain…
Hi, great review. Very fair perspective you have given it from a roadie point of view. I’ve actually got one on order as I wanted just one bike and this ticks all the boxes. It will have a Shimano GRX Di2 2x
So I'm no pro bike fitter so I would defer to them, but generally speaking, a shorter stem is going to give you a little more control especially on tight and technical areas. That's why MTB stems are so short. I would say #1 depends what's comfortable and #2 depends on your roads. If you have long sweeping gravel roads you're probably fine, but if you are on very technical areas shorter may be better.
Also a roadie, I just about bought one of these but went for the Cervelo R5cx instead.
What area are you in? Similar terrain to what I'm showing?

Great suggestion Moe! Maybe next time I swap tires I'll throw some in on my mtb

Awesome! You won't be disappointed, especially with Shimano.
I’m using 100mm stem on my Ostro road bike would you recommend going to a 90mm stem for the gravel set up ?
