along w/ trail and flow rides I started doing gravel routes on my Scott Spark and then more tarmac on the Diverge, I really think I've hit peak fun with these two. Anyone considering throwing some slicks on their gravel you will not be disappointed, like getting a new bike.

Got some GP 5000 28 mm coming tomorrow for my gravelbike. Got a new wheel set for road tires so I can change depending on route.
I’m so excited to put G Ones on my Lowside! I really love the color on the Diverge.
Beautiful color
Haha for sure, an XC bike or hardtail with fast rolling tires is more fun than a gravel bike on a lot of “gravel” rides 😉
I have 32mm gp5k on my road bike and 44mm speederos on my gravel/touring bike. I think I’ll go back to 38-40mm tires next on the gravel bike, it’s the sweet spot for touring, fondos, and champagne gravel for me. If something is really so rough that 40 vs 45 vs 50mm tires is a big difference, I have a hardtail w/ 2.35” XC tires and a front fork and a mtb tire is going to make a lot more difference than 5-10mm of gravel tire.
Yep just put 32mm cinturato velos on my gravel bike and will be using the hardtail for gravel, drop bars for road, flat for off road how it should be!!!
I am currently thinking about doing the same thing! My 40mm Terra Speeds are nearly done, so I was watching some reviews of the GP5000s in 32/35mm. Thank you for your input!
