That is great news. I've been riding on pro one at 38 mm wide for a year and I love it. But to get that size I had to put the nominal 34 mm version on a super wide rim but still it's an amazing go anywhere do anything…

you don't like steel drum testing? They have shown to correlate directly to on the bike riding. Wonder what about it you are skeptical of?

Well, its based off of tire drop. But yeah, I only run those high pressure and small sizes at the velodrome (where the effective weight is 2-3x my normal weight). The soft chart is ideal for most riding, except for…

Good to see the original 15% drop tire pressure calculator expanded for more gravel sizes, and for soft and firm. https://www.renehersecycles.com/pressure-calculator-expanded-to-25-mm-tires/

yep, pretty much my experience. 1000 km miles and they were iffy. Lots of leaking pin holes, and the center was smooth. Makes the GP5000 look like an endurance tire. ;-) Xenophon wrote: I used to ride a pair of Terra…
Apples to Apples, both would have 15% tire drop and same type of tube. if you can't ride the smaller tire at 15% tire drop because of your terrain, then in your specific scenario you would be faster on the larger tire…

Hmmm. The OG G-one was the best tire on the market. I bought a couple of sets and loved them. The current one out now is one of the worst tires on the market. I hope they get their act together - and that this isn't…

That sounds about right I'm getting about 3-4mm wider on these rims compared to a 23 inner rim.
@Slim You bring up a really good point. By going outside ETRO, you change the profile of the tread. While this does not seem to be an issue in my specific case, it can be a big deal with knobby tires. With this road…
Interesting, wonder how it is constructed. They had two versions of this in the past. the CX version had a high end construction and was expensive, the larger version had a low end construction and was cheap. I gave up…
