I’m doing the Great British Escapade - 480km North and South Downs in June.

Rigid hardtail is currently set up 27.5+ Nobby Nics which have to go as they’re too slow on tarmac. Originally planned to go 29er with a racier XC set up (2.25 Mezcal/Barzo) but I’d need a new wheelset - and I also need some other bits like a very good light and maybe aero bars.

Just found out they make 27.5 2.8in G Ones Allround which could work for the terrain and conditions - and I wouldn’t have to buy new wheelset.

Any thoughts on how much grip I’m going to need in June and which to go for?

Looks like a nice event. The white horse in Graffham is a great pub as well.

I might have some 27.5 XC tyres at home, unused as they were too big for when my gravel bike was my xc bike. Won't be able to check until next week though. Pretty sure there's some Vittoria in the collection.
