I thought it would be fun to compare my 20 year old IndyFab cross bike to my new DeSalvo gravel bike.
Steel fork vs carbon fork
Canti studs w/v-brakes vs disc brakes
1 1/8th head tube vs tapered head tube
2 c-rings vs 1 c-ring
13-26 8 speed vs 11-42 11 speed
QR vs thru-axles
Clearance for 35mm tires vs clearance for 50 mm tires
35mm tires with tubes vs tubeless 48mm tires
42cm road bars vs 44cm flared gravel bars
Standard seat post vs dropper post
Now that gravel bikes have become so popular, we wanted to know what people were racing at cyclocross races. What is the difference between a cross bike and a gravel bike? Watch to find out!
