Gravel Kings, Gravel Queens, I Don’t Care, They’re Blue

I wasn’t looking for new tires. The tires that were previously on my Specialized Crossroads had few miles on them and were fine, but when I happened across these Panaracer Gravel Kings that matched the pedals I had to have them. From what I’ve heard and read it is a decent tire so that’s a bonus.

While the bike was on the repair stand I took the opportunity to make some changes to the handlebar. The bar ends I had previously installed I had cut down a little too short. I swapped them out with another set that I also shortened, this time to a length just right for the grips I decided to put on them. I also swapped out the bar grips to ergo grips that came off of Nova’s Trek when I swapped out her grips. She wasn’t a fan of the ergo grips.
