Also, what is the difference between 700x45c vs 29x1.75 - none?

It seems that this is just a rename of TNT and TLR casings to Endurance and Lite respectively. Makes sense, as the old naming gave no clue about the differences, as both are tubeless ready.
I have been using these tyres in 700x47 size in my Sutra LTD for mixed riding, both road, gravel and a bit of singletrack, been quite happy. Good alrounder, tread is more grippy than it looks. On the bad side rear tyre wears quite quickly, I got almost bald spot in the middle after less than 1000 km. -

Not sure if best place to ask, but what's everyone's go to repair patches? Used the last of my (not confidence inspiring) self stick ones this morning.

For tubes? I use Park Tools quick ones now for the most part (unless the weather is nice and I'm not in a hurry, in which case I'll use proper glue-on patches). They last for some months and then you might find they bubble up a bit and fail at which point I'll use the normal patches and glue from Rema Tip Top or whatever they're called.

Rema Tip Top, that's what I was looking for!
Find self adhesive ones a bit naff, but good in a pinch (no pun intended) I guess.

I've started using them a bit more. They didn't work for me in TransAm in the moist cold McKenzie Pass and I've had them fail in 40C+ in Italy but generally they've worked pretty well and are quicker than normal patches and I don't like putting new tubes in for every little puncture because inevitably I won't fix them at home like I say I will.

Seconded on failure under heat, used to drive me nuts hearing the hiss while stopped in the sun. Good to get a quick roadside fix, but at which point might as well stick a new tube in and fix the puncture with proper vulcanized patches and glue at home

Did panracer ever make the gravel kings in 28c that had a similar tread to this or was it only in slicks in 28?!

Pretty sure 32mm is the narrowest they have done the SK.
-
• #10187
From searching online I felt that was the case, annoying as I’ll end up having to put 28 front and rear so they match with the slicks

What’s the go to 20x2” ish (406) street tyre?

Could you squeeze 20x2.2? If so Continental Contact Urban - well loved on here with good reason.

They do a 26mm gksk, don't think it's tubeless (if that matters to you).
Found em.

I don’t think I’ll be able to go that big :(

Bugger! They do a 1.6" if you can stomach losing the volume...

Anyone got any good condition 28c road tubeless tyres they'd sell? Something like Corsas. I'm not spending £140 or whatever on new ones
-

Thank you. Bought 'em!

Want some road tyres for my gravel bike for riding the Wild West Country 800km. Thinking 32-35mm for comfort, tubeless, and something so I’m not fixing punctures all the time.
Anything I should be looking at or should I just shell out for 32mm GP5Ks? Are gravelking slicks any good?
-
• #10197
I like Gravelking slicks but I've replaced both sets of mine with Terravail Ramparts. They just seem like a nicer version of the same sort of thing to me! Grippy, smooth, fast and I've yet to get a puncture after a few months riding in all weathers. They're pretty pricey at RRP though.

Tubes... Apologies if this has been covered but I UTFS didn't give me anything.
TPU inner tubes. I'm planning on putting some magene exar ultralight 700x23/28 tubes inside some 32c gp5000 tyres (on hunt aero rims).
Is this safe? I've not used tpu tubes before and don't want explosive death. I usually just run light 700x25 butyl tubes and it's always been fine.

disc or rim brake?

Discs.
Any experience of Terreno Dry Gravel Endurance?
Been using the 35c ones for a few summers, before the "Gravel Endurance naming", wanted to give it a go in 45mm but seem hard to come across from a quick Google search. Also, what is the difference between 700x45c vs 29x1.75 - none?
