Work is dumb, let’s ride bikes instead

Wee doddle out the front door, some road, some single track a little gravel
Gravel bike with a dropper is a beautiful thing. I’m really stoked on this bike, it climbs well, feels stable on single track and is fun. I need to adjust the shifting and get new pedals, the ones on there kinda suck.

Shout out to Jones bars

I always ran them set up with normal length grips and lever placement, they really feel better with the longer ESI grips and the levers up near the cross bar intersection.
Yeah the long grips and long brake levers are really crucial to the Jones system. I actually sold my shorter length Paul levers because I found they don’t play nice with Jones bars.
It’s been just the opposite for me. My hands liked being on the outsides of the bars and it sucked having to keep moving them to shift and I couldn’t get longer brake levers set up to get the brakes to start biting enough before they hit the bars or my fingers. I’ve been running the narrow Jones grips (still wide at 165mm) on the wide Jones bars with two finger levers and have been thinking about cutting the grips down another 10-15mm.
