So for years I had ridden road bikes with road tires. As I had kids and stopped riding, a group of friends got into bike-packing and after a few years of asking me to join, I bought a gravel bike which has the Gravel King SKs. I was insanely shocked at how much comfort and off road control I gained without really sacrificing much speed at all. I was so impressed with the performance that I switched my fitness bikes over to Gravel King SS tires. Enjoy your bike and new setup!

I ride a 2021 Domane SL and have 28c road tires on my carbon wheelset. I recently put some 37c WTB Riddlers on the original wheelset and have been having fun off the tarmac! Having two setups is great!

@ff2e Год назад

Terra speeds are amazing for like 2 months then they're done. They're basically a race day only tire. The SK's are great basically all of the time and I trust them for almost everything.

@TheFairholmeRange Год назад

100% agree ....rode them for a couple of rides and was shocked at the noticeable wear in the rear tire. Sold them right after.

@ifrit35 Год назад

Personally I went for 32mm Gravelking SS and I'm quite happy with these. Nice to see a review of these skinny variants.

@drouleau Год назад

Used the 35mm Conti Terra Speeds at BWR last weekend and that's my new favorite mixed surface tire - fast on both the road and offroad and gave a surprising amount of grip. Event only tires though since the tread wears out relatively quick - but an awesome tire. Testing out some Tufo Thunderos in 40mm next whenever I get around to mounting them up. If I make it to DK/Unbound next year, I'll likely run the Terra Speeds in 45mm for that.

@toml7945 Год назад

Great vid man! I put these tires in the same size on my 20 year old Airbourne Zeppelin and yea, it's a fantastic "gravel bike" that weighs 17 lbs and keeps up with the best of them. Manufactures of these "Gravel bikes" are basically repacking the Hybrid bike that has been around since the beginning of time, marketing, marketing....

I run the same tires and I swear by them. They have been great all around tires. I run with 32s and they are going strong. Every 500ish miles I rotate the tires to keep the wear even and extend their life.

@noels8817 Год назад

@David Schadlich, i was wondering if these GravekKings would also be good for like a century (about 10k ft climbing), I just got the pair today, and wanted to know if I should switch out my Conti 5000's with the gravelkings - my motivation is same as Mitch Boyer - to traverse broken asphalt and be more stable on descents, but just curious if for longish rides, they'd be appropriate as well.. (my bike is a Roubaix)

@lafargaa Год назад

i have a domene 2 al disc, came with 32c, comfy and gave me peace of mind for any flat that were common with my previous 23c bike. Bought a pair of gravelkings SK+ 38c and went tubeless. BEST. DECISION. EVER. No punctures at the road, even at the forest. No issues in heavy rain, mud, dry and loose dirt. Would totally recommend to anyone who is more into having fun than changing inner tubes.

@stevesnailfish Год назад

I use 28c Gravelking SS on my road bike in eastern England.....Bit more grip on crap roads and the obligatory gravel sections than normal road tyres...I did run 43c Gravelking SK's on my gravel bike for almost a year and they were superb.....apart from in the mud in autumn and winter, where they were complete shite !! Gravel bike tips (UK version) = put the biggest tyres you can run on your bike and if it's wet, then mud tyres are the choice for me and run a Redshift suspension stem for 20mm compliance unless you run Futureshock, Lauf or RockShox. As for tyres in the UK, I've been running Hutchinson Tundra tyres with 45c on the front and 40c on the back on my gravel bike and 38c Vittoria Terreno Wet (great in sloppy mud) on my CX bike.....Both makes of tyre come up 2mm above their stated width....

@bose80085 Год назад

not a gravel specific tip but I use a 32c tyre on rear and a 26c pirelli p7 on front, gives best performance to comfort ratio to me.

@chrisconnors7418 Год назад

I bought a Devinci road bike a few weeks back, and I had them switch the tires to ones that could handle dirt and gravel roads. I didn't want to be limited to tarmac since many of our scenic roads are gravel or packed dirt. They're probably slower than the original thin smooth tires, but I can't tell the difference since I only cycled about 10 km on the original ones. Loving the combination of light fast bike with more rugged tires.

@MitchBoyer Год назад

Sounds like it was a good switch!

@mydearriley Год назад

to be honest, you probably would've been fine with your original road tires on the gravel and packed dirt. even without knobs, they're tougher than they look. that being said, "gravel" tires are usually wider with grippier knobs, so you'll get a plusher ride with a bit more traction at the cost of a marginally slower top speed.

@chrisconnors7418 Год назад

Thank you for the info. I can always switch them back, like summer tires vs winter tires on cars. I did get my first flat on the weekend. I was 53 km from home and about to loop back. I went to change the tire and realized I had no idea how to loosen the axle. It was a design I’ve not seen before. I was pretty annoyed with myself because I had considered practicing changing tires on the new bike but lazily dismissed the idea thinking, “nah, I’ll figure it out on the road”. I’m such an idiot at times, sigh.

@TypeVertigo Год назад

I fitted 38 mm Gravelking SKs replacing a very good set of 28 mm American Classic Timekeeper slicks. The Timekeepers were some of the best 28 mm slicks I've run, but they were beat by the sheer air volume and 20 psi lower pressure of the wider Panaracers. I could just steamroll over road acne and not feel it as much, but steering response was still plenty good on road. I thought the SKs were a simple experiment, but it looks like they're staying on longer than I thought.

That’s awesome! I’ve been enjoying my 32s my only complaint is that I wish I had the clearance for 38s! Or even 40s 😅

I was out of cycling for 7-8 years. They are calling different bikes and components different things to sell bicycles. My road bike I bought in September of 1991. I stripped it down painted the frame with spray can ford engine blue and new components in 02. I have ridden off road in Texas waiting for a MTB. I also have a blur I built up in 05. Retired I like the Blur with Kenda 1.5 tires but when I have to lock it up I usually ride the road bike mainly because most folks think it's a POS.and less likely to theft. I have been on the bike since my Yukon was stolen and it wasn't as cool to be without a car and only bike. After a couple of months many of my heath problems improved and I am considering not buying a car even though I am saving for one.

@jeremymcpherson9405 Год назад

I ride a gravel bike and honestly it is made for what you are riding and that is about it. I have tried some light single track and unless it is super hard pack, then you will be washing out the front tire and possibly going over the bars. The geometry of road and gravel bikes does not lend itself to off road as much as some folks would like to think. Your weight is just too far forward. For crappy roads and hard pack they are fantastic.

@timdixo Год назад

Gravel bikes are made for mixed surface riding,jacks of all trades. Sure,for cruddy roads MTB’s will win every time but if the surface pie chart includes road/hard pack then Gravel bikes can’t be beat.

@cindyvillalva02 Год назад

This bike was really easy to assemble ru-vid.comUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and required very few adjustments out of the box. The wheels did not require any truing/adjustments. The frame had some small scratches, but nothing major.I did replace the seat though - the seat it came with was very uncomfortable. The tires need to be re-inflated every 4-5 days, but this appears to be quite common for the narrow 700x25 tires.Overall, in my opinion, this bike looks and rides like a much more expensive bike.

Now I'm wondering, what's the difference with a gravel bike? The only thing I could think of is the the ability to fit up to 50mm tires for really rough gravel or muddy conditions. As for gears, the easiest gears that come stock is 35x36 with which I could climb some steep gravel hills. I'm a gravel newbie, so I'll get to learn how far I can push it on gravel with this bike.

I’m enjoying the bike so far ru-vid.comUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA My only real complaints are the brakes and the pedals. I feel like a bike designed for bigger people should have much larger pedals and more heavy duty brakes. I’ve only gotten two really good rides out of it, minimal downhill action, and the brakes feel like they’re already going out. A larger person has more momentum, so I think this wasn’t thought through very well. Also, I wear size 13-14 wide shoes. My feet cramp up on these pedals that are clearly made for smaller feet. Since I’m not a pro rider (and I don’t think many are who purchase this bike) I don’t think that the straps on the pedal are necessary at all. None of this takes away from the enjoyment I get from riding, however. I’ll just head to a bike shop to improve on a few things.

@MitchBoyer 5 месяцев назад

The general advice I've received for gravel tires is: get as large a tire as will fit in your bike, while still leaving clearance for mud and debris. If you ride dusty gravel trails, you can probably fit a bigger tire than if you're riding (potentially) muddy dirt trails and logging roads. This frame maxed out around 33mm, but I wouldn't go any larger than these 32mm tires just so there is a bit of clearance. Hope that helps!
