Maybe this has already been discussed, but looking at Geo numbers, gravel suspension, flared bars, 650b wheels, etc- isnt' a hardtail XC mtb with like 35-40mm gravel tires and a 38t chainring the best of all worlds for gravel/allroad/buzzword/overland? marketing BS aside, does anyone have any input on this? I figure a spare MTB that can also crush gravel races, with gearing for most (not all) road group rides with 32mm slicks would be pretty sweet for those of us who don't need 5 bikes. I have a full squish epic and a TT bike (I race triathlons sometimes, it's a good tool for the job, but super dangerous on roads that aren't empty). the epic (34t, 10-50) doesn't have great gearing for fast stuff or road stuff.
tell me why i'm an idiot, please!
