more mixed terrain bike route than solely gravel.......but wanted less of a cx tyre and more of a roadie typeWhat do you mean by gravel?
I did an interesting all-road ride yesterday on my 32mm Randonneur pro's which I think are pretty light for such a robust tyre. Most people might call them slick but they were actually very grippy apart from (obviously) thick muddy wet leaves and wet grass.
Nothing really grips on loose gravel which effectively acts like marbles while most things will grip on packed stone (hardpack?) so a bit of handling skill is required to keep control of the bike and know when grip is likely to be a problem.
The Vittoria Randonneur is available in 35mm folding and 40mm wired but importantly will be perfect for the road commute requirement.
i bet they weigh a tonne or two though??Got these on my Spech AWOL good grip on soft dirt and comfortable on rutted tracks. Come in 35c & 40c, about £15. Roll reasonable on the road.
