I'm currently on 25s and I'm thinking about moving up to 28s for a bit more comfort :hs:

riding on rougher roads for extended periods is brutal on my back

Just went to GP5K 28s from GP5K 25s and noticed a fair difference in ride comfort.

Now try 32s :naughty:

I've rode 32c Gravelking slicks the past couple of years as an all-around tire. So comfortable and a respectable (measured) weight of 290g.

I have Armadillos in 35 on my hybrid/gravel-ish bike. They're heavy, but it's a comfortable ride.

"Cons: Tyres lack grip" :rofl:
Shit, guys, just do what PinkBike does and put a standard set of tires on all test rigs.

dunno what these have been going for lately. I've bought a lot from here and you can get 8% back through Active Junky

I may have an unfortunate dilemma tomorrow morning. Ride 60-70 miles outside, where they keep revising the temperature down. Originally it was start the morning at 40. With a fairly quick warm up to 50. Now it's star the ride at 34 with a warmup to 40.
Or I ride for 3 hours on the trainer :hs:

Sunny and cold I can handle. Cold and gray/wet/gross, nope, put me on the trainer.
