42mm is spot on, I’m just sore that there’s not much choices between Rene Herse and Grand Bois.

Panaracer Pasela folding 27.5 42mm is surprisingly comfortable and fast (despite not being tubeless ready), it more supple than the Gravel King with its horrendously stiff sidewall

Is it even a compromise? The speed-vs-comfort thing is always invoked, but is there actual data against Heine's thing? Or is it just habit and ride-what-you-have (which is fine)?
Heine's tests aren't perfect, but they seem pretty good? I only saw the figures available on the website, but two limitations come to mind: there might be a ceiling effect to their tyres, i.e., all compass tyres are just really good and it doesn't matter which you ride, whereas a gravelking would perform differently between sizes. Or, the effect size of interest was not determined; there may be a non-trivial difference between tyre sizes, but the tests aren't sensitive enough.

Dunno about anyone else, but I find 42s the best for roads around here given their state. I wouldn't want to ride anything less, and you're still in the Lord Jan Heine sweetspot of comfort and speed.
