Gravel bikes cont’d:
The next thing after groupset to look for, and assuming bike bike can fit large tires of at least 45mm, is whether the rims can be setup tubeless. It is a little bit more hassle to run and maintain tubeless, but the improved “suppleness” of tires and the small puncture sealing on rides is a great thing. If your wheels (rims) are tubeless-ready, you can try tubeless later and decide for yourself.
