"38mm for fast paved riding? Seriously, drugs. "
post of the day...still riding 23 here on all my bikes...they work very well...maybe when a set wears out I will give 25's a try and can't imagine that much difference, but will keep open to the possibility...but 38? seriously... |

Racing Ralph is a nice tire, but it tends more to the "rolling resistance" side of the spectrum versus "velcro grip". At least on what I ride (Front Range moondust and kitty litter), Velcro grip feels better to me. I'd rather roll through turns then skate. Happy tire shopping Go big and have fun! |

Fwiw.. I tried slicks (Bon Jon Pass etc) and compound tread tires(Override, Riddler, Clement etc).. The Override and Bon Jon Pass standing out as excellent tires, but for me and the hilly mix of rocky trails and loose sand on hard rock surfaces.. I ultimately landed on the Steilacomm pass. No slippage on the trails and work great on pavement to boot.. the 38mm profile also gives the maximum width I can fit in my frame. I ride the north bay trails in Marin previously mentioned, plus east bay trails too (Wildcat, Tilden, Moraga etc). Really spoiled riding in the Bay Area. So many trails, so little time!!

I run 650x48 Gravelking SKs, tubeless, at around 20 psi, and mostly ride Marin stuff.
