...then you'll be fine on slicks!!!


FYI - For Gravel, I prefer the Furious Fred rather than a slick. It is a similar tire (highish volume, ultra light, very fast, fairly fragile).

The Fred has some small knobs that alleviate the biggest problem I have with slicks – they get stuck in ruts. Side knobs will crawl out of a rut, or at least give me a little more warning when letting go.

But they are very, very nice on a gravel ride. The gravel cyclist even calls them a “cheater tire”
