Racing gravel on a road bike 101

Old photo but this is the emonda with 28’s on it. Sorry nothing close up but there were bontrager r3’s or something

man as long as you are ok with your road bike getting trashed, go for it. my gravel bike is beat the heck up after like 5 races. I would never ride my road bike on it; not only for frame reasons, but thinking components and barstem and any other swanky stuff on it.

gravel bike needs to be tough if it’s mid to deep gravel.

good luck!!!
