@Xenophon Thank you so much! Given that review, I'll pass. I don't need a mud tire, but I definitely need something that is reliable on wet surfaces including tarmac and slippery roots and rocks. @Volsung Oh…
Has anyone here tried the Cadex AR or GX tires? Online reviews are very hard to come by. https://www.cadex-cycling.com/global/showcase/cadex-ar-tires https://www.cadex-cycling.com/global/showcase/cadex-gx-tires I am…
Thanks for sharing that BRR review and @A_SingleSpeeder I appreciate your input. Public commentary on the GR1 is limited, at least in my searches. I say this because I have a brand new Trek Checkpoint that has never…
It wasn't until the past 2 years that I started to really notice or be concerned about my fingers going numb or wrists hurting. Honestly, and this is embarrassing to admit but I sort of figured it was just part of…

I’m new to proper gravel bikes, having only used a 29er hardtail or a narrow tired road bike for riding our dirt roads and singletrack. This fall I got a gravel machine. With my hardtail, I’ve never suffered from wrist…
Before I got a proper gravel bike, I ran the G-One Speed tubeless in 30mm on a Cervelo R3. Those were fast but grippy tires. The little knobs aren’t great for mud as they pack up easily, but they were otherwise very…
Thunderos sound like a great option, and nicely priced too. Thanks.

Is there such a mythical tire that’s very fast on the road but also handles wet tree roots, slippery rocks and likely mud? Also, I’d be using it for a 200km+ race so the less drag, the better.
Haha. I can totally see that. What tire size are you riding now?
Quick follow up. Last month I bought and am now riding a pair of Schwable One 30mm tires on my Cervelo. There is sufficient room front and rear with only a minor brake adjustment. I needed to install them semi-deflated…
What is BRR? Do you have a link so I can check out the test?
I’ve really liked my Schwalbe Racing Ralph and Racing Ray combo in 2.35”. Fast rolling and good grip on singlettrack and loose gravel.
Join us in Canada’s Yukon for Top of the World Gravel on July 10, 2022. If you've also got a mountain bike, make it an epic weekend by going in the 2nd annual Midnight Dome Enduro the day before, on July 9.…
I have a 2018 Cervelo R3 that is listed as having room for a max 28mm tire. I’ve run this size for years and feel I could squeeze something bigger (and grippier) in there. My rims are carbon, tubeless and 19mm internal…
I used my fat bike to commute for a while, and had an old pair of Surly Endomorph tires. They were wonderfully fast in summer, like a pair of beach cruiser tires and yet wildly terrifying on ice and snow. If you can…
Thanks for replying. I really appreciate your comments. Looking at their tread pattern again, I can see that happening. Slide, grip, lurch. Sounds sketchy. I will seek out something with a defined center pattern, as…
I have a pair of 19mm internal width carbon rims that I've been running tubeless 28mm road tires on. Last year I started taking my bike on some light gravel rides, just to explore some different terrain and find new…
