We just made our new blog live. We're a group of riders who can't resist a
narrow ribbon of gravel or dirt (or even asphalt) stretching into the
hills. We've been looking for reliable information about equipment,
especially reviews of tires for our rides. We're just seeing paid
advertisements o
Thank you for the encouragement. As to the difference between OEM and
retail tires I can see using a wire bead instead of folding to reduce the
cost. That's not the case here. All the tires we tested have folding beads.
I'll add that to the specs. If a different casing is used you'd expect the
Interesting! Just to clarify the WTB Byway tires we tested were the
aftermarket model. The previous owner of the bike had bought them at a bike
shop and installed them just prior to selling the bike. In the future we'll

asking for input into which tires you want to see tested next on
Gravel&Dirt. Go to https://gravelanddirt.blogspot.com to register your

Not sure the Ultradynamico is fast rolling on pavement. The knobs are so
