Premium gravel

what tyre size would it take to float over that SFAB?

33c.

Narrower tyres would cut through to the sweet grav below. I imagine it's something like this:

Father I crave the pea gravel

I'm afraid it's native soils for you all the way down, my friend

Are native soils

Gravel bike mudguards... Still punishable by lethal injection, or have we toned down? Seems to me that good, suitable guards for your bike are better than without.

I have aluminium ‘guards, everyone should

My all-road bike has metal guards on year round, my true gravel bike has just had the guards removed for summer. Love a good set of mudguards

Both good approaches.

I remember a particularly wet and sloshy winter gravel ride, where just the one dude who was running mudguards had a very clean jersey. I tend to to run them now, but prefer clip on for ease of removal/cleaning.

If I had an all-road bike actually built up (maybe soon), I'd keep them on that.

With a wheel swap that’s my winter road bike & commuter so they’re on all year. If I had a dedicated Crux (Akrose) I might not have ‘guards, though I do like a dry arse

+1 for all year muddies. They also stop loads of dust, stones etc in the dry summers.

-1 for mudguards.

No one riding with mudguards has ever been nicknamed "King" anything.
