My Waltly is now 6 years old — I built it during COVID.

It was originally meant to be a dedicated gravel bike, but it quickly became my main ride for almost everything.

For gravel and winter, I run a set of 650b Yoeleo wheels (32 mm deep) with an 11–42 cassette: "the tractor."

For road riding, I switch to 700c Yoeleo wheels (46 mm deep) with an 11–34 cassette for flatter and rolling terrain. If I'm heading into the mountains, I simply swap the cassette back to an 11–42.

Bonus pic: I also built my commuting bike around the same frame. The photo shows carbon wheels, but I'm actually running alloy DT Swiss wheels. Lots of Chinese components on this one: Scenicx crankset, OG Evkin seatpost, OG Evkin integrated handlebar.
