Hi
I have a touring bike (Genesis TdF) but I’m now looking to also buy a bike that would be good for both offroad/gravel rides (nothing very extreme but perhaps some bikepacking trips) and road riding (day rides typically 30-60 miles). Just wondered what other people’s experiences are who use the same bike for both road/gravel.
Do you have a second set of tyres/wheels for different uses? Or are there tyres that can handle both uses quite well?
I was thinking something like a Genesis Croix de Fer would fit the bill quite well.
Any thoughts appreciated!
