What's with all the psi stuff. Is that like a prostate health indicator?

FWIW I run 1.4b (20psi) in my Rambler 50s. Wouldn't go any harder. Terrain here often dry, stony with sticky-out rocks, Fortuner ruts and cow shyte. Maybe not the 'fastest' gravel tyres but you know, they don't break in my proper heavy duty rims. Got a pair of G one 45s and am vassilating between running the 45s or 50s for RvS - 70k tar 100k gravel. Thoughts anyone?

I mostly think and record in bar .... but the psi measurements on the gauge is just so much easier to read

I'm currently using ONZA Grava and they are beautiful all round gravel bike tire. Crafted Cycles in Port Elizabeth are the distributors. They do black and even do a very cool retro white tire,

Busy testing up a set of Challenge tyres, underrated and very low-key brand. Pleasantly surprised thus far.

No issues thus far, but could be a different story on different rims. Swopping our soon, so will have a better idea.

Not a single gravel front tyre to be seen in the leading bunch. The rears all seem to be 44+.
