And installed a suspension fork on my gravel bike. I have a 90km tomorrow and really wanted to see how it felt to ride with front suspension. It's a Reba RL currently with 100mm, can be dropped to 80mm, or maybe I'll hate it and remove it again. Also put a 4 pot SLX front caliper on because why not, they look cool. Taken it for a short ride and tbh it feels pretty good and with the lockout isn't too bad on the hills. 🤞🏻

Nothing is anything. A bike that does what you want it to do is a good bike. Names and categories are marketing tactics.
Nice bike!
Looks like the new Trek. You might wanna sell this for a fortune.
I could never stay mad at a sonder.
Tell us how the near-century ride goes.
I rode up some rocky doubletrack earlier this week on my Domane with 40s. At slow climbing speeds, the rough terrain was perfectly doable. But when I encountered a (unexpected) gate at the top and had to turn around, suddenly the descent at much faster speeds made me wish for suspension.
That’s a sin, or are those without being gatekeepers?
You don’t think that the rake geometry of the bike isn’t right? I wouldn’t want to ride it reduced weight on the steering wheel, cornering, slow speed steering comprised. Looks like you haven’t any spacers on the stem I guess you rode it and tried to get the front end down. Steer cut down. Going to be a handful the steeper the climb.
You are forgiven!
How you got the new Trek 2029 line????
Are you an insider
Looks like a party to me
