Tyres
Schwalbe G-One Allround 40c
The namesake. The one that started it all.
The Build
Gravelmonk is built for long days in the saddle. Comfort over speed, capability over specialization. The geometry is relaxed enough for all-day adventures but still efficient for the occasional race.
Why This Bike
The Grail's double-decker handlebar looked weird at first, but the added compliance on rough roads is noticeable. After 10,000km, still no regrets.
Current Setup
Running 40c tires for most conditions. Drops to 35c for road-focused rides, bumps to 45c for proper gravel missions.
