What gloves are those? Something you have experience with? I’ve been stuck on Giro Bravos for the last 15 or so years and am looking to try something else. Are they bomb proof?
Hmmm. Quoted the wrong post. I’m just gonna leave it and see if Doug responds anyway

A couple of questions for you gravel folk.
A. I bought a 58, but I think I am going to exchange it for a 56. On bike insights the 56 was the same size as my 58 emonda. When I test rode the 56 it felt good but looked small. The 58 felt good, however today when I sat on it, the reach felt a little much. I think if it was a road bike it would be fine but for gravel I should be a touch more upright correct? The shop was telling me to get a 56 so this was all on me, already contested them and they said I could exchange it.
B. What tire pressure should I run on gravel and what tire pressure should I run on road. They are tubeless and I believe 38mm or 40 mm i’ll have to check, always rushing at this house.
C. Tubeless? What do I need to do, what should I carry with me on a ride?
D. I think that’s everything.

Why not try an 80mm stem instead of the 90 it comes with?

Indoor college football is pretty nuts. The band is LOUD!
