Earlier this week we posted our first story on some of the bikes we noticed at last week’s Gravel Worlds event in Lincoln, Nebraska. As we pointed out then, with $100,000 in prize money up for grabs, there was no holding back when it came to bike set ups. As a self-supported race, too, athletes were carrying lots of hydration and fuel, so it was interesting to see how they stocked up on water bottles and storage compartments to carry hydration and fuel.
