14:38 I LOVE the locking grips on the drops! I don't know too much about modern gravel-bike setups. This is a grip-technique I will give great consideration to.

Nathan, these grips have been game changing especially on the long and rough terrain. If you get them I would love to hear how you like them.

We have some epic gravel here but most of our races are only around the 60 miles in distance. I love all the big races you do. 👌🏻
