A friend recently got a gravel bike, he swears by the tires. I think he might even convert his road bike to wider gravel tires.
You could just upgrade to 28c if they fit your frame. I have an early road-ish gravel that fits those tires and it handles pretty well.
I watched the video before reading this comment, I was going to ask but - 25cm on those paths???? You’re mad haha
Are those crosstop brake levers?
Yeah, I really like them. I bike with slow traffic around town a lot and it's nice to have the more upright relaxed position.
I sometimes think about getting them for mine. There are a couple of really long and steep descents near me that I would feel more comfortable being more upright on. Do you think they leave enough room for a bell and light too?
I wonder now, I never feel like I need to ride there. Could that be a geometry difference depending on arm and torso length thing? Hood always seems to be comfortable enough for me.
