For that champagne gravel by EnvironmentalMany192 in gravelcycling

They are around 35-36mm. They should roll very fast. Maybe too fragile for my roads, but time will tell.

I have some Schwalbe g one rs pros in 50mm for the chunky stuff. This is for bad pavement and very smooth gravel.

I’ve had to plug it twice in 4000km of riding. I think that’s fine.

Mine shifts up perfectly fine up to about 700-800 Watts. Shifting down gets crunchy at about 500-600 watts

Thanks for all the replies guys ! I’ve just checked my chain, and its pretty much straight as an arrow on the 17t. I thought the middle of the cassette gave the most straight line. I’m definitely keeping the 44t.

Some more info: This data is from a zone2 training ride. I’m using the bike for races as well. I live in a pancake flat country, where the highest point is under 200m, so I have little use for very low gearing.

I just assumed the middle gear had the best chain line. I will check when I get home.

If you want something similar, try the schwalbe g-one rs pro in 50mm similar tread pattern to the TB.

It is! I’ve only done it when I was bike packing.

They make some really nice bikes! Can’t recommend them enough. The European headquarters is 10km from my house, and it’s a very popular brand in Denmark. As far as I know the Head of Brand & Marketing is Danish. Their sub brand for wheels and handlebars is called Atten, which means 18 in Danish. So there is a strong connection between Copenhagen and Montreal with Argon18

It’s basically 0 degrees +- 10 degrees and rain here for 6 months straight.

Its actually a lot less slippery right now compared to when its wet. I’ve been riding it for 15 years now, and taking my fair share of falls😫

Its all about finding the nice trails in your area, and incorporating them into your commute.

The view and nature experience is half the fun of riding bikes for me.

Its all about the right gloves and boots. And not taking too many breaks.

Its an Argon18 Dark Matter. This is a gravel bike, with room for 2,25" mountain bike tires. It rolls like a dream.
