How much mountain bike is too much when it comes to gravel bike geometry?
b'In this week\\u2019s Nerd Alert episode, tech editor Dave Rome has a chat with Australian custom builder extraordinaire Mark Hester of Prova Cycles.\\n Hester was a very early adopter of MTB-style geometry on gravel bikes, incorporating things like long front centers and shorter stems when most other brands \\u2014 especially mainstream labels \\u2014 were still using dimensions mostly borrowed from road racing machines. Yet as with anything bike-related, if a little bit of something is good, lots more of it surely makes it even better, right? Hester has some interesting thoughts on the idea, and you won\\u2019t want to miss hearing where he thinks things are going from here.'
