Be careful maxing out what you think your tire width can be. If you stuff a wheel in a ditch or some rocks and get a little wobble in you’re wheel, you want to make sure you have room between your fork/frame and tire with a wobble. Or else you’re walking home when the wheel won’t spin.

^^^ And if it’s not quite that bad for you to have to walk out you may get enough rub to ruin your frame.

ah yeah fair enough, space doesn’t mean it’s a good idea. I’m not gonna sweat 43 in a 42 though

Yeah it took a solid week to talk myself down from chucking the frame and swapping all the parts over to something metal. Ibis came through for a replacement though. Sold me a new frame at half off the standard crash replacement cost. ...Or they got me with the same line they use on everyone. Either way, left me really impressed

Any opinions on Salsa Warbird or Cutthroat?
Somehow, my LBS got a billionty gravel bikes in 61.
Ruled out: Aspero (too road bike), Vault (too $$$), Wilier (too $$$ for spec), Kona (just didn’t dig it)...which leaves the two Salsa.
Cutthroat - looks cool...but I worry if I got it, I’d keep thinking: I shoulda just got a mtb. And: this is very slow.
Warbird - like...but worry it’s too close to my road bike. But: I do like going fast.
I think Warbird. Mostly bc I’m not doing anything beyond a day or two...maybe three. Certainly not 7-10days. And prolly won’t get too rowdy...that’s what mtb is for.
Thoughts? Any other suggestions.
Sent from my iPad using TGR ForumsIt makes perfect sense...until you think about it.
I suspect there's logic behind the madness, but I'm too dumb to see it.

Know a few people with warbirds and they like them. No personal experience on them, though.
It’s certainly a little more relaxed than a lot of the more performance oriented bikes.

I’ve had a Warbird GRX 600 for a little over a year and love it. Picked up an extra wheelset mounted up with 32c road tires and use it as both my road and gravel bike. As Supermoon said, the geo is relaxed and it’s long. It’s not a fast handling bike, but it’s rock solid at 40+. The stock tires (Terravail Cannonball) are stiff and slow, I swapped those out for Gravelking SK’s. I don’t bikepack, but it has a ton of mounts.
