We just covered Gravel pedals. So my next question, what tire (including width) would the forum recommend for a gravel bike that will be used in Vermont/ NH with some pavement, lots of fire roads and occasional doubletrack??

I was running Kenda Flintridge’s. I liked the tire, but a bit stiff. Currently running Specialized Trigger Pro’s in 38. Love them. Fast on pavement and pretty good on dirt / gravel (just did Lost and Found on them). FWIW, on my Stans Grail wheels the Kenda 40 tire measured 45. The Specialized …

That looks interesting too. Almost a reversal of block design from the SK.

Agree. I’m in Michigan and run the same tire in 35’s. Our gravel is mostly hard packed, smooth gravel.

I couldn’t get the WTB Riddler’s on my 700c wheels too. Dropped them off at the bike shop and paid them to do it
