• Tbh I'd consider running 38-40. You wont loose anything aerodynamically and perhaps gain a lot in the gravel. Also comfort!

  • you have any particular models in mind?
    suitable road going options under 500 grams are quite limited.

  • If the Kinesis wasn't hit by a car I'd have the capacity for that width but the Mason is 33mm max I think.

    I won't go that big. I have that size on my touring bike which I have basically used as a mountain bike, ridden up mountain trails in Albania, down river beds in Wales, etc. But they are slower on the road. I don't think the terrain this year will be that bad - it's just 100km of gravel or whatever out of 4000km which will mostly be better than UK roads.
