In the summer, I bought a mountain bike on sale from an acquaintance, and within a month, I managed to ride over 750 km. Then autumn and winter came, and I stopped riding, but I missed it so much. I wanted something faster, so I recently bought a gravel bike that was on sale at a local store, discounted from $1,120 to $680. Yes, I know it’s not anything extraordinary, but it’s equipped with a Shimano Tiagra groupset. Even now, in January, I’m riding, and I have to say I’m very satisfied. Wishing you many strong kilometers ahead! Ps: Oh, and I’d also like to ask if it’s worth switching to a tubeless system? THX.

Minus 1 point for taking the picture of the non-drive side!😁
Whether you should go tubeless is a personal decisions. It’s more maintenance than just using a tube. Also, the rim and tire need to be ‘tubeless ready’ and even then there is no guarantee that the rim and tire on that bike will not give you problems when you run it tubeless. If they don’t hold the air properly then you’ll need to either buy better rims or better tires, or both, to go tubeless.
