DuckIntelligent737 on August 13, 2025 5:15 am How much do you weigh? 50s are nice but 45 is really nice too and saves some weight
linhromsp on August 13, 2025 5:28 am Depends on where you ride. Do you really need 50? Or do you want a bit more of speed? Tires like Gravel M 50 feels super sluggish compare to the 45mm version, but it can ride over anything so there is that, more comfort. U cant have the best of everything. I dont ride fast so i went for the sluggish 50mm
