komoot expert status confirmed

Also, the mud is drying up for good now, I was thinking of planning another #nogravel northern ride for the 17th or 24th, anyone keen? I will also need to be explained in what groups of "n" we're allowed to ride by then, if we are more than n we will split into more groups. I'll get the event up at some point.

What?! Forever? D:

Oh aye, just trying to straddle that line. Currently on 650b 47c knobblies.
I reckon 700 x 45 not very knobbly (G-One bite) pumped up to the moon will be the middle ground I'm after for day to day use. Not every gravel ride is a monster. Also, mud will be dealt with/avoided when it happens.

If its insufficient so be it, change it up. Ridden the tread off the Senderos, not too fussy really.

Yep, it's sick of people discussing tyres and calling it shitfromabutt, so it decided to call it quits

I think you and I either answer the same questions in significantly different ways or ride different rides, so let's agree on what you said, ride what you brung and you'll be fine

YES

Do you have any routes? Hoping to visit family later this year and bring the bike!

33mm CX tyres still roll better than 45mm tyres because 33<45

Lies!

Awesome, needs a Lauf fork tho. :)

Please show your working for this equation....

You're having a Lauf

I think I'd rather fall over in mud than knock my teeth out on tree, but whatever floats your boat.

You must be new around here. Where I ride, the mud makes way for me.

If it fits and you have room for mud clearance, your tyres aren't big enough.

Because amey was bound to post it eventually

Pirelli cinturato M is very similar to vittoria mezcal... seems this kind of pattern a good balance. It’s never going to be as grippy as a knobbly mtb tyre but has decent bite for climbing/braking/cornering off road but still rolls well on tarmac/hard pack.

It’s all a sliding scale of compromise eh.

The shallow spaced knobs on the g one bite, I just don’t think that tread pattern stands a chance on UK muddle.

I wonder if a schwable smart Sam could be a good shout, not sure if they a decent casing in narrower sizes though.

Shitfromabutt is best tackled with 33mm tyres. Gio is right.

Smart Sams are good. Give them a try. Currently got them in 37mm and they're fine, but not as good as 33mm.

When I need your advice, I'll give you the special signal. Which would be me being sectioned under the fucking mental health act.

100%. For #ukgravel shitfromabutt rides 33mm CX tyres are the best.

The sooner we stop dreaming of Instagram rubbish about big gravel tyres and wide dusty, endless mid-west US gravel roads the better. They don’t exist here.

Everyone hates fucking cyclists. Even fucking cyclists hate fucking cyclists.

Based on my recent experiences with Dugast Small Bird tubulars, I think 36mm is the sweet spot.

Those extra 3mm make all the difference.

Hey man that would be great
