FAQ - Gravel & Cyclocross
WHAT IS A GRAVEL GRINDER?
Think of it as similar to a CX bike built for Endurance riding that is also perfect for all-conditions commuting over distance.
TYRES
Gravel bikes typically run a 32-35mm wide tyre (as opposed to your standard Road bike at 23-25mm). Depending on the intended purpose of the bike, these tyres can often feature a small tread for traction in the dirt. These larger tyres help protect the rim against damage, reduces punctures, improves comfort in the saddle and they’ll also leave you less fatigued after riding along bumpy surfaces all day.
GEARING
Gravel creates more rolling resistance so these bikes get a little more emphasis at the lower end of the range. Durability of moving parts is also key for Gravel bikes given the rough conditions they are made to ride in - our gearing choices reflect this consideration.
FRAME
Both Gravel and CX bikes have strong frames and forks that are built tough for harsh treatment. The bikes feature clearance for the bigger tyres and any mud, and plenty of front/rear rack mounts for bikepacking, touring and fully loaded commuting.
Although similar to Cyclocross bikes, Gravel-grinders feature more relaxed geometry with a slacker head tube angle, a lower centre of gravity and longer tube lengths for a more comfortable ride over longer distances. Cyclocross bikes are designed to accelerate fast and corner quickly at lower speeds, but this can feel a bit ‘twitchy’ on endurance rides along wide-open gravel roads or long regular commutes.
BRAKES
Most quality gravel bikes feature disc brakes as they perform better in all conditions. If you’ve ever ridden to work in the wet, you’ll understand how this reliable power and control translates to a safer commute.

I bought Reid's Granite 1.0 Gravel bike during lockdown in September 2021. It is an excellent entry level gravel bike. The lightweight alloy frame, relaxed geometry and 32C tyres are ideal for longer gravel rides, road rides, or inner city commuting. Reid Cycles are a great Australian bike store who offer a unique alternative to the bigger brands, and have great customer service.

Delivered fast and with no issues. The granite 1 is a great starter road / touring bike with entry level parts that can easily changed around for different experiences.
It has 40mm gravel tyres but can handle slimmer stuff for commuter or road.
The Shimano tourney rear derailleur is only rated at max 28t but can handle a 7 speed 34t sunrace cassette with a bit of adjustment, would assume the 32t supplied Shimano works fine too.
It's light weight and can be picked up with one hand easy. The mechanical disc brakes were very challenging to align without rubbing and to get the cable tension right as there's no barrel adjusters. The cable for the front derailleur arrived a bit frayed from over tightening but generally works.
Overall very happy with the purchase, would recommend for those looking for a road bike / commuter/ light trail all in one fast ride and are handy enough to change parts as needed.
