Ok, hear me out
A lot of bike brands are calling mullets "MX". But MX bikes have fatter rear tires. I decided to apply this MX style mullet to a hardtail mountainbike. Should you run mixed wheel and tire size?

GRAVNESS, THE ULTIMATE BIKE NICHE! Canyon Roadlite to gravel bike.
zhlédnutí 6KPřed rokem
Downcountry, slopeduro, both of these are mainstream in 2023. I decided to build something truly new and innovative with this gravness bike. I turned my Canyon Roadlite into a gravel bike.

    Throw away that Gates belt and get a chain. You will be much faster (about 2 km/h) and cycle further. That's 20 km difference per day on a longer trip. Ant that shifter is a monstrosity.

    Just got a SAM 6.9 with the upgraded battery lid/flap and hit the bash guard 3 times during a 30km ride riding over slow drops. My sag was 30% on the shock so maybe a little low?? but getting a new spring to drop sag and maybe this will help. I think they put the battery to low on this bike.

      Maxxis has a WT tire range which does the opposite of what you just described. Perhaps bike tires should list width and aspec ratio like car and motorbike tires do?
