Besides being a rough ride, with them at 100 psi, everything was fine. Well, I did spin out on an uphill and lost two finishing places in the one race.
I liked gravel racing so much, was why I bought a true gravel bike. Now the quest to get my speed up/back.
Thank you
My Gravel bike has 40mm tires for fun riding (maybe 50 for race paced gravel), and 32mm GP5000s for road duty (or our hardpack summer gravel). With the GP5000, I'm competitive in crits on the bike. I'm thinking you can get there too. I've got a reasonable handlebar drop so I'm fairly aero (not too far off from my track bike).
