Gravel Bikes in the Austrian Alps

  • I linked up with legendary mountainbiker @ScottyLaughland to put the new SCOTT Solace e-gravel bikes to the test. Scotty is familiar with the mtb system in Saalbach, Austria and showed me a good time. We absolutely hammered the bikes and we broke long before they showed signs of weakness! So cool to check out spots like Leogang and this corner of the Alps.

      CraigShambaugh if you care to follow .In Europe it is so easy with Komoot app and velo routes .You can change and make uop routes on the fly . Mangart in Slovenia was the hardest climb yet for me more raw and just as beautiful as Switzerland . Grimsel was almost as hard . South Tyrole was the most away from traffic .It was like the sound of music scenery every day .Enjoy

    Reading about 50mm tyres reminds me of my early days riding mountain bikes in the nineties, which I started partly for comfort reasons and crooked road bike wheels . lol
    I can't help but think that todays bikes are absolutely amazing, and if the technology had been as good back then I might possibly have never tried mountain biking ... It's a strange thought as I had a lot of really good times on mountain bikes. Now I ride my Kona Jake the Snake with Zipp 303s about two third of the times I go out, and there is the old me from the nineties inside talking to me: "Dude, you're crazy ... Aero-ish wheels on a cyclo cross riding road and gravel mix." lmao 😅... Gravel X ... Maybe if it defies labels, then it's the most fun?🙃

      @@SAFABrian Yes, I try to. Sadly we do often have a lot of rain here in the lower Rhine area of Germany and even more in the Eifel and the High Fens in Belgium ... nothing you can do about it, really, either accept the mud or stick to the road.

      Na I reckon they're great for a buryl e-ride like this. I actually run a 50mm tyre on my regular Addict gravel. Tyres are the only suspension I have and 50 is real nice for som grip and damping.
