Last tires were just a touch too big. With the little bit of flexing your bike does when ridding, the tires were touching my chainstay. Just wore through frame protectors and paint. Carbon still good. Switched to the Vittoria Barzo XCR 29×2.1 and these fit perfectly. Definitely slower than my gravelkings I rode for over a thousand miles. And have to run at a higher pressure now, so the ride is a little bumpier. But the grip on our loose gravel is nicer now.
