This is where I'm coming from too. To me, gavel riding is taking a more versatile road bike on dirt roads, and not much else. I ride probably 50/50 gravel/road, so massive bars and huge tires don't make sense. May as well have a hardtail mtb no? That said, my curly bars are 48's.... and I may try a 50. But I also used to run 46's when 42's were high fashion. Wide shoulders and all.
