Teravail Ramparts 32s came and went on tubeless like a dream yesterday. So I thought I’d test out a little road-fixed friendly loop today in preparation for the dark times.
This 32c sizes does seems dramatically smaller than the GK semi slick 35c, like more than it should, dunno if it’s just my eyes playing tricks on me. It does make me think a 35c slick or those smart Vittoria 34c tyres would have given me the clearance i was looking for with some more cush/grip but oh well, these were £40 each and feel amazing, super sticky and cushty.
The ride was good, definitely challenging enough to make the most out of just a few hours on the bike. Took a few breathers and snack stops, but I rode up every climb so I take that as a win. Should be a good winter run out. Plus by going to the Caterham viewpoint frequently throughout winter, I’ll get to fantasise about bombing across and down that hill on the bridleway into the quarry when the mud is dry. Good stuff.
