I previously owned three bikes that were “marketed” as ‘gravel’ bikes. They all had clearance for large tires (650x2.1, 700x45), THAT one thing was a bonus. Not sure what else made it better than a cx bike though. I’m…

With tubeless, if I go too low psi (relative to my weight and other factors), how will this handle sharp cornering over gravel and dirt? Can it lead to squirm or other downsides? I ask because I’m used to running…
I forgot about this thread; I just re-read it. Funny thing is I sold that gravel bike that was causing tension in the household 😆 That road bike that wasn't getting a lot of love in the spring, turns out she just fits…

I sold some tires and things I wasn't using, and have more to sell...ended up getting two 650b wheelsets on sale and both sets of tires -- so now I don't have to choose. The right tire for each occasion :-)
I know the Babyshoe is faster on pavement. Pumpkin Ridge better handling on the mildly technical trails close to home. I’m not sure though if one is much better on gravel roads (occasional washboard, pea sized gravel).…
After years of playing around on the gravel roads near where I live, I’ve come to realize that riding on gravel roads is not for me. But the bikes sure are! I live in a small city an hour away from a large one, and I…

Thanks, @chas When you say 'slick gravel king', do you mean semi-slick? I ask because I didn't see a width in the slick line over 40mm. Also, I couldn't find a G series tire by Schwalbe over 40, that is close to slick?…
