As always great and insightful video! I have the Panaracer GK 700x50s on my Otso Waheela C but its flatbar and I absolutely LOVE the tires, but they are a bit more than is necessary. Per my like of hold/grip/ride comfort they are keepers. I had actually toyed with the idea of the Rene Herse Fleecer Ridge TC Tire 700x55. For a dropbar I would not want tires that wide. I'd go similar in the 700 x mid 40 range.
Awesome! I have been toying with the idea of a flat bar gravel or skinny tire hardtail hybrid bike. These tires are perfect for that! They are comfortable on pavement and provide enough traction for easy trails with loose conditions. Thanks for watching and your comments
Was thinking of trying 700x50's on my cyclocross bike, but in light of your comments on change of height and toe interference, will stay with my 700x42's. Your bike does look nice with those tires.
Yes it’s northern end of the bike path is in Azusa CA. Here is a trail map www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/san-gabriel-river-bike-path-san-gabriel-canyon-to-seal-beach#:~:text=Enjoy%20this%2037.3%2Dmile%20point,during%20quieter%20times%20of%20day.
@@hardmtnbiker you ride that all the time? Awesome, I'm barely getting back into Cycling again because we moved away from the bike trail but I'm there with some friends on the weekends. I'm done with road bikes, but I can't get the Roadie out. Did it for over a decade and I love the aggressive style but I just wanna chill now. I turned my MTB into a Roadie Gravel just so I can still keep up in case I do speed up but I'm in it for the chill factor and comfort now. Anyway, in case I notice your bike I will say hello but if you see a tall Asian dude with a Red KHS MTB with cheap duro tires then that's me. There's nobody out there with MTB with duro tanwall tires. The cheapo tires are there as a test until I switch to real ones later on. My friends and I usually hang out at the map tower at The River's End restaurant. Have a safe ride and we may cross paths one day.
These tires are no longer on that gravel bike. The frame is custom and although they can fit, when I ride with them the bike isn't really the proper geo to ride on the trails that these tires are made for. I will be getting a new gravel bike that is almost a retro XC hardtail geo but with all the modern specs. This new gravel is going to be made for 90% dirt trails and 10% paved roads. The Evergreen seen here is about 10% dirt 90% pavement.

Did you say, Azusa to Seal Beach? As in CA? I ride to Seal Beach all the time and I had no idea it rides all the way to Azusa

Those tires you mounted the 700x50 would they look a bit balanced if your frame was larger? It looked like the frame on your bike is a medium one.

Are those tubeless ready?
Yes
Anything more than 45c is a overkill for gravel bike. Don't do it. If people want bigger tires just buy a mountain bike.
