No matter how fit you are, sitting on a bike for half a day or more hurts! Riding the rough and chunky gravel at Unbound can hurt A LOT. Bruce has been testing components like bar tape, carbon handlebars, suspension stems, suspension forks, suspension seatposts, and 3Dprinted saddles that increase comfort. He shows us the best parts that can cushion your hands, back, and butt for long hours on the gravel bike.
