I wish that this Gravel RC was just a bit lighter both on the scale and under the keen eye of a caliper set ….

The Gravel RC is a bit of an interesting creature, with very fast looking, minimally low profile center knobs and graduated layers of wider spaced knobs that increase in aggressiveness as you move towards the outside edges.

Gravel Grinder News is back with news about tires from American Classic, WTB’s redesigned saddles, and an aero chain guide from Wolf Tooth. Let’s check it out!

Gravel Grinder News comes at you today loaded with news from tires to tools and bikes.

I found the Speedmax to be stable on loose gravel, and capable in a bikepacking situation on deeper gravel as well.

The County is the tire one should look to for mostly paved riding or where the unpaved roads are typically harder, smoother, and not covered in deep crushed rock.

The Ritchey Speedmax WCS 700 X 40mm tires have an iconic look, an aggressive looking tread pattern, and seem pretty stout with their Stronghold casing.

In this post, I want to get to what I found out about the County tires on gravel, how they rolled on pavement, and anything else noteworthy.

The Kimberlite is a tire that American Classic says is meant for pavement and mixed-surface rides. However; here at Riding Gravel’s home, we have found that a minimal amount of tread works fine on deeper, loose gravel.

Okay, so we have a tire from a brand you know well, but not for bicycle tires. It looks a heck of a lot like a competitor’s tire, which we just so happen to have, and so we will be comparing the two.
