I have two gravel bikes and I just don’t get it. I gave it a long try but i think I’m done. I think hard tail 29ers are better for most people in most situations.

Hey bud, was looking at the Marin Team 1 as a more XC-oriented replacement for my hardtail. Didn't expect this video to be filmed exactly where I'd plan to ride it!

@@markpotts4428 I think its great mate. For the price its got some quality components, and its fairly light to get around on. I've added a dropper too it now and its good to go, I think its a shame that the dropper is on there for free. But for that price I can't really complain. Heres a few videos of me riding it: kzitem.info/news/bejne/xHytyniqnKiriaQ kzitem.info/news/bejne/pomAl3dqm3NyZGk Hopefully add some more videos as it starts to get less cold!

I have a Cube Acid XC hardtail with a 2x11 SLX/XT crank set, if i'm riding rough trails or down hilling it's my go to bike, but anything less aggressive it gets second place to my Gravel bike, I can ride my Gravel bike 30 miles in comfort yet no matter what I do I find the MTB less comfortable over distance and the slow pace on road sections is tedious, it's horses for courses!

I love the Marin but honestly hardly ride it. I need to do more videos to update you all but im spending a lot of time on a road bike with gravel tyres/gearing which does pretty much everything. It isnt fast off road but gets me where I want to go.

How does “MEDIUM” mean it’s the right size? Bikes are not the same anymore you need to read the goe chart you can call a 485 reach a medium small or what ever you like. Also 60-65mm stems are usually the trick for mtb. Nice rig thanks for sharing. Encourage reading the numbers not if it’s small medium large xl or xxl.

I always use the stack/reach to buy the right frame, in this case a Medium is correct 😜 More vids to come about it soon.
