For those of you who’ve raced or toured it, what type of bike did you run and why?
All of the footage looks like gravel bike is the way to go. I’ve spent some time in the Gifford and wished I had a fork. Granted it was single track mtb most of it. I also have a friend who used a hardtail and loved it. Wouldn’t have done it any other way.
So I’m thinking of splitting the difference with my hardtail running fast (compared to its normal) tires to hopefully make up some efficiency. Or do I run the gravel bike with 2.2’s?
Disregard the doom bar mockup. Awaiting my bmx stem.
Thoughts?
Cheers 🍻

Raced it in 2023, ran a rigid 29er with 29×2.6’s and aero bars. This was WAY too much bike. Would have been much happier with a 700×45 gravel bike with wide climbing gearing.
Off Topic: I want your bikes, your ” home workshop,” probably your lega and stamina too, but the pictures are beautiful to me😅
