Hey, Arno. I am on my second gravel bike. They are fast, but our corrugated roads causes your eye balls to bounce in your head...and after 30km of that you are just about done riding gravel. So now we all try to swap speed for comfort, going from 40mm tyres to (at least) 45mm in an effort to lower tyre pressure. Innitial frames could only take 42mm tyres so we are all 'upgrading'. And then we double up on bar tape... I would say you need 45mm tyres, but in stead of buying an expensive bike, just go out and pay R8k for a Vecnum stem. I went from hating corrugated roads, to not even thinking about it. See you out there!
