Proving its durability, the only thing needed to get it gravel-ready is a set of 33c Vittoria Terreno Dry tyres. Surprisingly, Morton did not have the tyres set up tubeless, so to avoid pinch flats he pumped them up to 60 psi, which he says was too much for the course. Overall, he said the tyres were "very good on most surfaces."

My first OTP gravel bike came with 28c tires and 52/36 with a 28 cassette, and it was fine for dirt roads.

timmah! in reply to @Netakure

I rode gravel for years on a road bike with 28s. I'm now attempting to build a gravel bike after breaking my canti cross bike on some pretty rough descents, but I'm concerned that my bars might be too wide and I've chosen the wrong wheel size.
Good to know I can just bin it and go back to my road bike, or my xc hardtail.
Thanks lfgss.
