I need to get some gravel bike tires. 25c where a bit sketchy.

A friend recently got a gravel bike, he swears by the tires. I think he might even convert his road bike to wider gravel tires.

You could just upgrade to 28c if they fit your frame. I have an early road-ish gravel that fits those tires and it handles pretty well.

I watched the video before reading this comment, I was going to ask but - 25cm on those paths???? You’re mad haha

Are those crosstop brake levers?

[-] colourlesspony@pawb.social 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah, I really like them. I bike with slow traffic around town a lot and it's nice to have the more upright relaxed position.

I sometimes think about getting them for mine. There are a couple of really long and steep descents near me that I would feel more comfortable being more upright on. Do you think they leave enough room for a bell and light too?

I wonder now, I never feel like I need to ride there. Could that be a geometry difference depending on arm and torso length thing? Hood always seems to be comfortable enough for me.
