I have this exact setup (alloy Topstone with 30mm slicks) alongside a Supersix running 25s. It’s very different, but partly because the Supersix has a slightly unique geometry for a road bike. anyway. I’d say it is definitely on the stable/safe side, but it’s mega fun. It doesn’t feel lazy, just that it wants to ‘sweep’ through turns rather than diving into them at the last second. It’s been great as a winter tool on rubbish British roads when not using it on gravel. Lower gearing is great for easy riding uphill, though I have spun out on rare occasions, nothing problematic at all though.
