    What is your go to gravel tyre?

    • @The2808erik
      @The2808erik Год назад +1

      Specialized pathfinder pro. Rolls well, I never had a puncture and still going strong after 7000 kilometers.

      I actually went 32mm Gatorskin because I mainly ride on asphalt but want to be able to take also rougher gravel paths. Silent on pavement, but can take fair beating. The bike is Masia Special Randonneur. One bike for everything outside MTB.

      Loving the schwalbe G-one RS. It's a dry gravel tyre but it is fast as hell and looks great.

    My golden rule is to buy what's on special. Tyres from a year or two ago are often much cheaper and usually just as good.

  • @jevgeniardassov
    @jevgeniardassov Год назад +17

    My golden rule? Well since Covid, shortages and the fact that I live on the edge of the world (in terms of availability of anything) I just get what I can get my hands on. A mediocre tyre does not make riding NOT FUN, it just makes it more challenging, and we all like a challenge, don’t we? 😅

    Pirelli Cinturato ! No loss of PRESSION, no punctures for the past 9 months, good grip, extremely durable and made in France. You can't go wrong with those underrated tires. Tried Schwalbe, Hutchinson (worst), Vittoria, Specialized, WTB, MAXXIS....

    • @CleverSmart123

  • @hardmtnbiker
    @hardmtnbiker 11 месяцев назад +1

    I completely agree. Wider tires,wider rims,tubeless and inserts. Personally I use CushCore on all my gravel and MTB wheel sets. I carry extra sealant and the 🥓 tire plug repair kits. Rarely ever get a flat that needs a tube inserted but carry a TPU tube just in case.

  • @maxsievers8251
    @maxsievers8251 Год назад +5

    It's not just about which size fits into your bike but about how the wheels feel. You want the optimal inertia for every width. That means 622 mm for up to 32 mm, 584 mm for 42 mm and 559 mm for 56 mm and more.

  • @richardrr4220

    My golden rule Schwalbe G-One RS or Specialised Pathfinder gravel tyres - currently running the Schwalbe G- One RS in 40c and loving these tyres - I have run WTB Riddlers in 700c, they were ok but mostly they looked good with tan walls

    • @jayhoughton4174
      @jayhoughton4174 2 месяца назад

      Another for G one RS in 40mm, even on my road bike. Very fast and comfortable

    Just dropped from 2.2 mtb tire to a 45mm. Imtend to still take on some rocky stuff. So, will see how it goes. I found the 2.2 hard going on roads.

    For light gravel and tarmac I'm using Maxxis Velocita 700x40.
    Almost a road tire in tarmac but strong to some gravel and "paves" roads.

    • @scottwatson7844
      @scottwatson7844 Год назад +2

      Yeah I was using that tyre for nearly four years and no issues. Used it everywhere in dry conditions and performed well. Recently swapped to a Vittoria Toreno Dry and have had two punctures already. Will be going back to Maxxis.

    • @reeseprince8

  • @fra93ilgrande
    @fra93ilgrande Год назад +1

    Since I do gravel rides in autumn/winter only, I got a pair of Pirelli Cinturato Gravel S, perfect for wet and muddy conditions you find in these seasons 💪🏻😎🔝

    • @DepressedLemur9
      @DepressedLemur9 10 месяцев назад

      Could you give me advice please. I recently bought Pirelli Cinturato M 35c. It was a good deal, so I didn't think about it much. I will travel off-road as much as possible, but I will spend a good amount of time traveling on pavement. It's a like a weekend bikepacking adventure. Will they be too slow and noisy on the road? Should I give it a go, or should I sell them and buy something else?

  • @bikebudha01
    @bikebudha01 10 месяцев назад

    Pirelli Cinturato Gravel M. Been on it for two years now. Great on the pavement. Great on the gravel. Only niggle, it only comes in 35c and 40c. 40c won't fit on my frame (rear). So I'm running the 35c. Would kill for a 38c.

  • @toxicblackwidow9841
    @toxicblackwidow9841 9 месяцев назад

    27.5x2.2 Continental Race King Protection! Noisy on tarmac but damned fast and cushy on any surface you can throw under them. And surprisingly capable even in mud !!!

    TPU works much better for me than tubeless. It's lighter, less messi and easier if you want to change tires. 👋🏻

  • @jonathanrobinson2628
    @jonathanrobinson2628 6 месяцев назад

    Golden rule? On tyre width, a simple formula is a great place to start when choosing your tyre. Bodyweight x 0.3 + 15.
    For me, at just over 100kg, that is 100 x 0.3 + 15, which equates to 45. That is the minimum tyre width I'll generally use, though I'll occasionally drop to a 40mm when I need something fast on smooth gravel.
    I've gamed out the formula at all bodyweights, and it seems to work well.

  • @gusjeazer
    @gusjeazer Год назад +3

    There is a huge factor that you always miss: weight of rider and extra loads.
    If you weigh upwards of 100kg, you will need very strong wheels, so 650b MTB wheel set will be stronger than the average 700c.
    It will also change the needed tire pressure and a wider tire will be better.

    Given the recent mudfest on Outbound 2023, what tires would you recommend for such?

  • @GrahamFootBicycleLover
    @GrahamFootBicycleLover Год назад

    Schwalbe Jumbo Jim is perfect, used them for the Dorset Dirt Dash on endless gravel/sand, just perfect and no slower than the skinny puncture prone, tooth rattling trend.

    • @mobilemonster7681

    • @simonm1447
      @simonm1447 Год назад +1

      Jumbo Jim seem to have a thin carcasse and gets punctures easily. I prefer the Vee Tire Bulldozers, they do great on any surface

  • @markiteuthis4610
    @markiteuthis4610 Год назад +2

    Congrats on missing the all-rounder in WTB’s lineup: the Nano 40. I’ve ridden that year-round and the wear pattern proves the tire’s versatility. The continuous central lug strip takes most of the wear on tarmac (it’s what balded first), while the very aggressive and widely-spaced edge lugs provided tremendous purchase and excellent shedding in snow and mud. Good rolling on the smooth stuff and great bite in the sloppy. Yeah, the tread pattern was borrowed from an MTB tire. Is that why you don’t like it? Or could you not recognize the function in the form?

    Can somebody please help me, I'm so confused about tires. I got Pirelli Cinturato M gravel 700x35. It was a nice deal, so I didn't think much about it. I want to travel on dirt and gravel as much as possible, but I will also spend a decent amount of time on pavement. Will these tires slow me down? Will they be too noisy for the road? Are they too narrow for true off-road? Should I sell them and get something else? I will do longer trips, weekend backpacking, and maybe longer. I will constantly switch between different surfaces. Can someone please recommend me something?

    If you want over 45mm width or an insert or nobby tires there is one thig i need to tell you:
    Gravel Bikes are a trend, Mountainbikes are actually usefull in rough terrain.

    • @zedddddful
      @zedddddful Год назад +1

      Hardly a trend when CX has been around decades buddy gravel bikes are just bigger and comfier for longer distances MTB are great but too slow and hard work for the long days in the saddle with what could be 80/20 road to gravel ride.

    • @FilinbeSporriot
      @FilinbeSporriot 11 месяцев назад

      ​​@@zedddddful if you're riding 80/20 road/gravel, I would suggest 45mm plus or nobbly tyres is overkill

    4 sided geographical effects, contours road surfacing and polishes tiles and gravel bitumen surfaces. brute force products are apprently bad. 4 sides pull-push till up-cannot-down is forceful.

    Talk about the person who loves to hear themselves talk . Four minutes and 10 seconds and I’m stopping this video to write this comment onto the next. four minutes of him not saying anything absolutely garbage need to learn RUclips etiquette if you’re gonna try to provide information to people for the love of God, four minutes of my life gone.
