Brommers-
No, the optimal UK gravel tyre is 33mm, exactly the same as the UCI CX tyre upper limit. This is pure coincidence, determined through many hours of testing, and nothing at all to do with Stockholm syndrome. And that's why so many mountain bikers run 33mm tyres, because they provide optimal grip in all circumstances.

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.
