Gravel tire pressures tested!

I set out to determine what the best gravel tire pressure would be for my set up and the gravel I ride. So I started with the Zipp tire pressure calculator, determined the calculated optimal pressure, and adjusted up and down to see what effect if would have on my speed.

Watch for the results!

If you plan to buy one something I use, use my links below! It doesn't cost extra and helps the channel out.
