Inspecting Your Gravel Bike Frame for Damage



So, we’re all about that frame inspection life, huh? Let's be real, how many of us are actually looking at every nook and cranny after a ride? I mean, sure, we talk about stress points and all, but what about those sneaky little bolts and bearings? They can totally ruin your day if you don’t give 'em a glance.

You think a quick once-over is gonna cut it? Nah, man. I’ve seen guys blow their whole ride because they skipped a simple check. And those DIY kits? Are they really gonna save your butt or just drain your wallet?

Maybe it’s less about the tools and more about knowing your bike. Like, do we even know what to look for? That tiny crack could be hiding in plain sight, and we’re too busy admiring our shiny new pedals.

So, is this whole inspection thing just a trendy buzzword, or is there more to it? What’s the real deal here?
