Hey Luke,
Thanks for the tip! I will definitely give that a shot, nothing to lose…
I’m no lightweight, I’m sure it would be a good idea on mine.
Thanks, Doug

I highly recommend Thunderburts for gravel - I use them (2.1”) on my hunqa tubeless and with tubes on the Atlantis.Great tire, fast and quiet on the road, knobby for the trails. Best of both worldsMaxOn Jun 3, 2023, at 9:17 PM, Richard Rose wrote:I love my Clem L 52 on gravel! My favorite tire
I love my Clem L 52 on gravel! My favorite tire so far has been the Simworks Homage in 27.5” x 55. I had and liked Gravelking SS which were very nice set up tubeless but were too fragile resulting in a large percentage of the bike being covered in the muck. I am quite happy now running tubes with

Soma also makes 650x50. Might be worth looking into, especially if you're

The go-to tire for a lot of folks riding gravel these days is a "hybrid".
Personally, I switched from my regular 32mm road tires to 35mm Bontrager
Connection Hybrids for riding on the limestone tailing trails around my
neck of the woods once they dry out and become loose and dusty gravel (as

Most of my favorite rides tend to mix pavement, gravel, and trails (where I
am we have lots of great country roads and trails of various difficulty but
not many long stretches of gravel). My primary "gravel" bikes are a Soma

shifters along with levers set up for two-finger braking. Admittedly, my

I used to ride the Almanzo 100 annually and introduced many people to
gravel over the past decade or so.
The Clem should be a great bike so long as you are committed to being
upright. For big rides drops are nice to get down and out of the wind, but
not a need just to enjoy being on roads

I have an old Berthoud from the first 400 made and faced the same issue. I

and they obliged. Hope that helps!
