my situation is that it’s getting close to Being time to replace my road bike, but I recently got this shiny titanium “gravel” bike. My gravel bike leans towards a road geometry....so, if I could keep up on 32mm slicks on my gravel bike, maybe I don’t need a new road bike.
That shouldn't be too much of a difference, but you may notice it here and there, 'specially if you're already on the edge at times. I rode with slightly oversized 30mm tires for a few years and moving to true-to-size 28s did result in a slightly snappier feel - it wasn't night and day, but the difference was there and it was enough for me to stick with the 28s (the same could be said about the comfort difference - there was a slight trade-off, but it was one that I was willing to make).
