Maybe someone else that rode remembers differently? I'm trying to locate old pics from that year to rejog my memory now haha. Will post if I find any.  Edit: I rode with 2.25 Aspens that year and I can't remember that I ever gave my tyre choice a second thought while riding Edited July 21, 2022 by JohanDiv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shebeen Posted July 21, 2022 Share my experience of riding in a moist gravel group is that you need to make a plan with eye protection, and have a backup plan for that plan. Sid the Sloth, MORNE , JohanDiv and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
