My wheel-choice saga is nearing the end, I am almost decided on going for two wheelsets 650b slick and 700c knobblies, so I will both benefit from extra cushioning on road and hardpack and be able to try some CX races in winter. The only question left is: I want to buy cheap from Planet X, should I go for Clement Strada USH 1.75 (13 pounds each) or Panaracer Gravelking 1.9 (21 pounds each). From specs it seems that despite the difference in size both should weigh almost the same, which makes me think whether the beefer build of Clements will nullify the effect of less massive tyre. Any advice please?
