I would recommend Challnge Getaway Pro HTLR (they make 36 and 40), Pathfinder in 38, WTB Riddler 37, or Maxxis Rambler in 40. Pathfinder is my favorite tire. It seems roll fast, very durable, and pretty inexpensive. I…
Their recommended pressure has always been pretty high, especially for a tubeless set up. I run 28/30 on Nox Teocali rims and sometime it feels too much on rough terrains. According to Enve site, I should be at 23 psi…

I would have to say there are a few tires I didn’t love: The first one is the Challenge Gravel Grinder. I thought the handling was a bit tricky as it lost grip quickly when pushed it to the limit. I’m guessing it’s due…
I am a tire geek, I have tried close to 50 sets of tires last 2 years, and my favorite gravel tires are: Spechy Pathfinders, WTB Riddler, Terra Speed, WTB Resolute, WTB Nano, Maxxis Rambler, and Gravel King SK.…
Yeah.....I do. Acknowledging that I have a problem is a first step for resolving the issue....though I don’t think that will happen.:-) After 28 years of marriage, my wife thinks I have a problem. I think she is the one…
My gravel bike setup has 10 mm longer reach and 20 to 30mm higher stack height compare to my road bike set up. I also run 172.5mm crankset on some of my gravel bikes verses 170mm on road bikes. I am 6’ tall with 33”…
I utilized gravelmap.com, and designed my own courses. I found a lot of gravel road that I have never been on. https://gravelmap.com/#8/29.591/-98.314 meenanm wrote: I see no other area to ask this, so Central is the…
What is your priority? Light weight, fast rolling, puncture resistance, grip, easy tubeless set up or price? How is your skill set? I'm a tire geek, and I have tested over a dozen tires last year alone, and here is my…

Pathfinder 42 mm is a solid choice, and it's relatively cheap.

I went tubeless 2 years ago and have put about 8,000 miles on my road bike and gravel bike, and I have yet to experience a flat. After the ride, park the bike with the valves position on the bottom (pointing up). This…

Shimano Gravel wheelset. A reasonable price and weight for Shimano durability/functionality.
By the way, I think you can get away with 11-36 (Sram cassette) or 11-34 for DK200, as it sounds like you a pretty fit guy. I set up a Diverge S-Works for my shop owner for DK200 in 2019 with 50/34 (Dura Ace) with…
