Hey all, I’m riding a Felt Breed with Reynolds carbon wheels and typically run 55mm or 2.1" XC tires since I live on beautiful gravel roads in Kansas and spend 98% of my time on gravel. However, I’m going to be participating in a relay ride for charity across the state of Kansas this September that…

Not sure what your budget would be but check out these links: More ‘training tires’ (More durable, less speed) [image] Training/Recreation Road Tires Cycling Products - BikeTiresDirect Road bike tires for training and recreation. ‘Racing Tires’ (Less Durabl…

I’m assuming you’re looking to use your same wheels? In that case, if they are wider internal width then that will give you a minimum tire size you can run (but you can still go pretty small unless they’re like 30mm IW). [image] Caradec814: But I’m not sure if the same thought process holds tr…

Thanks for your thoughtful and thorough reply. Yes, I will be using same wheels. They’re Reynolds G700s, 25mm internal width. Pavement quality will vary. County roads in very rural areas in Kansas don’t always have the best maintenance. Your thoughts on handling relative to changes in tire size…

I used my gravel bike as a road bike, on 25mm IW rims, I would ride 30-32 if plan on racing - GP5000sTR. If just using for training Schwalbe pro one 38s, or Pirello 40s, or GP AS TR 35mm

Here to ask how do you like your felt breed? I am considering getting one myself but there is very little user info out there. I find real-world feedback quite useful in choosing cycling gear so anything you can provide will be much appreciated.

I like the Breed and have had no major issues or complaints. I bought it under $3k new… at that price point, getting full carbon frame, carbon wheelset, and GRX 820 is pretty incredible value. I have run it on the road with 35mm Conti GP5000s and it handled and rode really well. Feels nimble and …

Thanks for the detailed feedback. Very helpful. We’ll see what my finance advisor has to say.

I just looked, it appears that Victory Bicycle Studio online (which is who I bought mine from, and had a good experience with) has them now even further discounted, closer to $2K if they have your size remaining available.

I use 35MM GP 5000 AS TRs on XC rims - they balloon to 37mm on 29mm internal, 37mm external.
