Mounted the Challenge Gravel Grinders and they're more than a little undersized. I'm measuring 42mm on Velocity Atlas rims. Clearance is much improved though, so going to give these a go. On Friday, September 20, 2024 at 8:31:02 AM UTC-5 David B wrote: > Thanks for all the suggestions. I have C

Thanks for all the suggestions. I have Challenge Gravel Grinders on the way - will report back with an actual width. Side mini-knobs might be an issue, so fingers-crossed they're slightly undersized. On Wednesday, September 18, 2024 at 9:21:45 AM UTC-5 charlie...@gmail.com wrote: > I've been

I've been running the Challenge Strada Bianca 46mm tires set up tubeless since January (about 2,000 miles) on road and gravel and they've been great. Really supple and surprisingly tough. Highly recommend. On Tuesday, September 17, 2024 at 2:56:43 PM UTC-4 DB wrote: > > https://us.challengetir

Challenge makes the Strada Bianca and the Gravel Grinder in a labeled 46mm. Unsure how they actually measure, though I'm hoping to give the Strada Biancas a go soon. I think Pirelli has a couple gravel-focused options in this range as well. On Friday, September 13, 2024 at 1:31:35 PM UTC-5 rmro

Easy answer; Simworks Homage 650/27.5 x 43 (or 55). Both fantastic and on sale now for just $54.00. Sent from my iPhoneOn Sep 13, 2024, at 2:07 PM, Jason Fuller wrote:There certainly isn't much out there. I ordered 650Bx43 Gravel King SK's from Germany and they measure quite true to size and are

There certainly isn't much out there. I ordered 650Bx43 Gravel King SK's from Germany and they measure quite true to size and are great all-rounder tires in my opinion. The shipping is costly, but the tires themselves were cheap; I ordered two pair and the total was cheaper than US MSRP for GK's

I'll put in a plug for the Soma Cazaderos. The 48 version runs small and would be a great choice if you're looking for a semi knobbed tire below 48mm. On Thursday, September 12, 2024 at 11:59:43 AM UTC-7 John Bokman wrote: > I ride 700c, but agree that Bruce Gordon R&R are excellent tires! > F

I ride 700c, but agree that Bruce Gordon R&R are excellent tires! Fantastic on the rough stuff, and good on pavement. The owners are great people, too, providing excellent customer support. I am a big fan of Panaracer tires, having ridden various iterations for years. My current favorite for cit

Those T-Servs are great tires, more durable gravelkings, and I didn't know they came in 650b. Those might become my new commuter tire! On Thursday, September 12, 2024 at 10:35:41 AM UTC-7 kyleco...@gmail.com wrote: > If you are into knobby tires, I am currently riding some bruce gordon > 43m
