Gravel Gear

I decided to add this page so I could collect the following infomation:
  • A living document of the build out of my bike
  • A collection of all the Gravel Gear Posts that I post in one place
  • For any other useful information that I am constantly referring to
  • A bit of a mind dump/skratchpad/things to do list etc
Full disclosure, where possible the links will hit an Amazon Affiliate page, so if you decide to purchase something this way it's a win/win for both of us. 

 If there is something I have missed just add a comment and I will add it.

The Events: my Gravel events for this year
My Rig: ongoing updates on the build out of my Gravel Bike

As noted in the post I have acquired a gently used Lynskey Cooper CX. Here are some of the relevant details:

This is the photo from the For Sale Ad, these are the specs
  • Size 59cm
  • ZIPP handlebars
  • SRAM Rival group
  • SRAM 11-32 cassette
  • SRAM 46/36 CX S900 crankset
  • Chris King headset
  • Thompson stem and seatpost
  • TRP Spyre Disc brakes
  • WTB saddle
  • Shimano CX alloy wheels
  • Conti gatorskin tires 35mm
  • Compressionless JagWire brake wire housing
  • Salsa skewers
  • Salsa seatpost clamp
  • Look pedals 
There are a few changes I have to make and I will update as the build moves forward.

The first change was to install pedals that could cope with dirt. I picked up some Crank Brothers Eggbeater 3, Red The red accents will match the Skewers, Seat clamp and Spacer, it's all about the details!
