I rode a 32" bike at Unbound Gravel. Here's what I learned

32-inch gravel bikes are in their very nascent stage of development. Days before the 2026 Unbound Gravel, Scott announced that 2025 winner Cam Jones would ride a carbon fiber prototype 32-inch gravel bike in the 200-mile race. I got my hands on the first production 32-inch gravel bike, the Salsa Fargo Ti, and rode it at home in Boulder, Colorado before bringing it to Unbound Gravel, where I rode the 50-mile course with my friends Sam Johnson and Betsy Welch ahead of race day. -- The Ride is supported in 2026 by: BikeTiresDirect: https://tinyurl.com/yc7vxujh (save 10% with code 'RIDEWITHBEN') Castelli clothing: https://www.castelli-cycling.com/US/en/ Perc coffee: https://tinyurl.com/fjr7nurr (save 15% with code 'ride15') POC helmets & sunglasses: https://poc.com/ Feedback Sports stands & tools: https://bit.ly/3S9Dq8r Saris racks: https://saris.com/collections/racks# (save 15% with code 'ben15') Silca maintenance: https://silca.cc/ Lezyne radar & lights: https://tinyurl.com/4z5e3e9u The Cyclist Lawyer: https://www.thecyclist-lawyer.com/ Shimano shoes: http://tinyurl.com/ye274tep -- Want to see what I'm testing and where?
