40 or 45mm Continental TerraSpeeds

Speaking of, I have a pair of brand new TerraSpeeds in 40-584 (27.5", 650x40B) if anyone is after some tyres (located in Europe which probably narrows takers a lot).
Was going to put them on a bike but have decided to sell it, and the returns window has closed.

Yeah what an awesome area to explore. Thanks for the post jamal



Went for my first gravelly ride in a while, the heather is all in bloom which made the nature reserves extra pretty

Bit muddy and rutted in places today but had a very good ride (and mud > sand anyway)

Anyone have a new Grail? Size L by chance? I cant seem to see the stem length anywhere

Looking at new gravel bike and am a sucker for integrated storage etc, and have a preference for 2x electric shifting. But the one piece bar and stem is always a concern from a direct to consumer company as can’t really test it.

Or do I just go with a Revolt Pro as I can get one at an LBS

There seems to be a lack of 2x electric group set gravel bikes out there :( (well without getting too crazy price wise).

In NZ as well so don’t really get good deals with more low key brands with shipping and exchange rates.

Size L

Spacer in mm
15
Cockpit Dimensions
70-440
Crank Length in mm
172,5
[Etc]

So 70mm stem, which I guess means they have quite high reach to account for the short stem.
It's under Geometry & dimensions>Component dimensions

The wide bars on the new Grail would put me off a bit, especially since they're integrated

It looks like the current Revolt has 2x at least
