Any of you ride an xc for flat gravel what is your speed like generally, not hammering but z3 tempto? Something to keep for 30-40 miles
Have a bike ride on Sunday trying to get my buddy to do this event with me. We have raced in past (road). This is for South Florida and the event is 45 miles. I want to give him my xc bike with 2.35 tires for this so he can join me. For past ride the results listed showed top 10 ave about 20 mph. Is it possible to keep up or is he gonna suffer?
Mainly wondering if we can keep up with group or gonna have to slog it solo at 15 mph.

Throw on a 42T chainring and some conti race king 2.2s and he will be fine. It also looks like with your setup on your gravel bike you will be spinning out if it’s flat. If you’re in south Florida how are you not running like a 48 or 50T front?
