So I’m trying out the 650b 38mm Gravel King as it is cheap on trade and is nearly 30g lighter than my Compass Loup Loup Extralight.

Bizarrely the Gravel King felt a little sluggish compare to the heavier Compass, which glide like its on cloud.

Will ride more in the weekend.

Jan heine actually claimed that compass extralight uses panaracer tubular carcass, which panaracer did not want to do for their own clinchers.

That would make a difference, having both tyres, they’re very different to each other, the casting on the Gravel King felt stiffer compared to the Compass.

Gravel King come up a bit smaller at 37mm but that probably cause it’s new.
