I’m really impressed by this bike. 40mm tires fit, but barely. These 35mm GravelKings seem to be perfect.
Planning a little 30km 6am ride along the Thames gravel track tomorrow morning to see how it goes.

35mm is the usual CX racing size so it should be good. Not as plush as a 45 or 50mm but it will be good.
GK’s are the best tires.
Oh, I guess I should put my old XTR SPD pedals on before tomorrow.
Hell yeah, looks awesome! I’d really like to get a second set of wheels so I can have one configuration for road (GP5000s) and one set for offroad (the gravelkings I have right now)
You’ll do fine with them on that surface. Word of advice though, they are affectionately called Gravel Flings by many because they kick up gravel so you may want some frame protection if that’s important to you.
