Show me your gravelbikes....inspire me.

more of a paved ride planned for this morning, so I wanted to revisit how skinny 650b Babyshoe Pass tires would feel relative to my recent 2.0 knobbies and 48mm SBHs. They feel sprightly...like a conventional road tire but with better traction. I also bumped up to a 44T chainring for the occasion, and that range felt about right in this context. This would be a swell road set-up for anything outside of very fast group roadie rides.

Next time, opt for the tan sidewalls. Looking good there.

It works great, if you don't mind the slight slop at the clamp head. I think it was designed that way, except this is a Chinese knock off from ebay, so far so good.

Finally got this one out in between the heavy rains for a mixed surface shake down ride. It is unbelievably smooth and the Bon Jon's were superb on the asphalt.
