Finally picked up an actual gravel bike. Niner RLT di2

Had been using an All-Road 105 with 700×35 Gravel King SS+ for light gravel duty. Felt under biked and over geared for the more technical stuff around. The chain slap was pretty wild on a handful of routes. Was absolutely “rideable” on most anything though.

Saw this 2020 Niner RLT 9 di2 pop up on marketplace and immediately jumped on it. It’s quite possibly the most fun bike I’ve ever owned. Massive fan.

700×50 Soma Cazadero Tubeless.
Light bicycle carbon wheels + dt240 hubs.
2×11 di2 11-36, 31-46. (I ride out to most of the gravel so 2x has been perfect + the clutch has been a huge quality of life improvement).
Thomson post.
Power Saddle.
New drivetrain + wax installed prior to purchase.
Sprint di2 shifters on the drops.

Comfort level: 1000.

Perfect tool for the gravel gap I had in the line up.
