Try the Shimano GRX - no problem with dirt, dust, whatever. Also, you may have to put new brake pads, I guess yours are glassy now. I had a chain guard included, a black one that I don't use because I made my own, transparent. Good review, thank you.
It’s possible that it works. I’ve done this on my motorcycle‘s pads. Make sure to release the brake every now and then when doing long downhills. The heat can turn the pad‘s surface to glass. Make sure to properly break in the pads again after sanding them. They need to be seated with the disc again.
My current tires are the Specialized pathfinder 38s. I run between 50-60 PSI I am about 180 LBS. I will probably switch to at least a 40MM going forward for a softer ride.
If you are located in Utah and have a gravel bike that you would like to see a review on hit me up. In need of some gravel bikes for the channel.
Riding at dawn on a clear day and the road all to yourself has to be the best feeling.
One of the true joys of being out in the middle of nowhere on a bike. Nothing better!
You can ride 47mm or with 27,5 even 2.1 tires. That will make it much more comfy
Thanks, I always feel weird putting huge tires on a very light fast gravel bike, but I will give this a shot see how it goes.
Thanks. Great video, excellent info value.
Thanks much appreciated

Thanks this is great advice, im gonna try sanding the pads before I get new ones. We will see how it goes.

Will do, thank!
I just rode it at a Specialized Store. It really feels like a road bike on the road. Don`t know how it feels on gravel.
Ya love this as a road bike, depends on the type of terrain you will be riding gravel on but overall really great bike.
What tires and pressures do you run?
