Danger Dassie Posted May 20, 2019 Share For gravel, road, commuting or a mix of? Probably couldn't go wrong with either. Question is if they're available or not. International sites aren't an indicator of which markets have availability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pegotico Posted May 20, 2019 Share I was trying to find the sarcasm... Isn't that Comic Sans? No sarcasm, was just trying to unify all fonts and that was the one I selected but in the end it didn't work. Yes it is comic sans.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May you find a home and loads of information here PS - "Comic sans" font is a handy trick used by some when the reply is "not strictly factual" ...

ChrisF Posted May 20, 2019 Share VERY happy with the HORNETS on my commute bike - https://bike-addict.co.za/collections/chaoyang/products/chaoyang-hornet-27-5x2-10-60tpi PS - available in 26'', 27.5'' and 29'' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grubscrew Posted May 20, 2019 Share Currently have a set of Speed Kings on my gravel bike and they are fantastic. Fast, good grip (on road, wet or dry), and great puncture resistance. My previous tyres (Clement X'plors) averaged about one puncture per 1,000km, my Speed Kings have only had one puncture in the last 4,000km under the exact same conditions. Still plenty of tread left, will possibly get 10,000km out of them. Highly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
