Used my Bombtrack Hook EXT-C for a perimeter tour of the US. Left May 9, 2022 and after 10,520 miles got home March 28, 2023. Running a 1x 38t chainring with a 10-42 cassttte. Was perfect. And when it comes to plain gravel riding, this is by far the best bike I have ever owned. N+1 doesn't exist anymore, this bike is the only N.
