I have over 16,000 trouble free hard miles on my GRX mechanical, so I will just say NO to Chinese junk.

But then you're not getting the benefits of sealant, which in my case has saved my bacon many times.
It looks like you've been running the extra light version. Have you considered trying the standard casing? I've ridden Snoqualmie Pass standard casing tires on my Spinergy alloy gravel wheels for thousands of miles with…

That's a sweet ride! Can never have enough bike porn.
I second what Bluetick said! I did a small upgrade, went from 11-34 to 11-36 cassette on my GRX 600 groupset. My goal is to ride more single track this year and improve my skills. Which apparently I need after wiping…

To the original poster, have you spoken with the race director about your concerns? I think some, if not all, race directors might actually appreciate some rider feedback. The Southeast Gravel series just added a…

This sounds to good to be true.
What about switching the front tire with the rear? Then you might see if it's the tire or the rim.
