Changing from 35mm to 30mm felt like... // Goodyear Eagle F1 700x30 first impressions

[@randorecumbent]

For what it's worth, I went the other way with tire width. Used to run 28mm, now I run 37mm. (Panaracer T-Serv) The change was for comfort. When randonneuring, you can't go wrong prioritizing comfort. As long as you finish before the time limit expires, you get the same credit for the ride as the super speedy people. Like basketball: A dunk and a layup are both 2 points. One is just harder to do. Just one rider's opinion. Thanks for the video!

[@carlovillarica]

Thanks for watching! I want to give it a try. It's fun to try new tires. So I'm gonna see how it goes. I suspect that after these tires wear out, I'll probably end upgoing wider again (although it depends on the events down the line).

[@jonathangapay1724]

For me 32mm seemed like a sweet spot for road and light gravel/bad roads.

[@carlovillarica]

i agree

[@jeizanneilsibul3919]

Remembering bohol flat tire bai. Nice change sa tires! Ready na for cebu!

[@carlovillarica]

Hopefully! haha

[@mahonah]

As simple as your ride was, it's making me want to go visit Cebu and go riding. Great review. Good luck on your 600km ride.

[@carlovillarica]

You should! Thank you!

[@MrMonti414]

Suggestion for future videos, maybe you could incorporate the speedometer & incline data overlay? Especially the incline data would be cool during those epic climbs in Cebu. Keep up the great content, ride safe always!

[@carlovillarica]

Noted on this. Will keep it in mind

[@ejtorrefiel2768]

Whats your air pump? It looks so helpful.

[@carlovillarica]

bontrager tlr flash charger floor pump

[@junreaksaa]

32c for road and off roads for me. Plus phillipines pave potholes. No pinch and flats. Im using a 600 pesos tires. 😂

[@carlovillarica]

I agree. I'm ok with the 30 but I think 32 is the sweet spot

[@Vhabijan]

Were you able to test the grip and cornering of the tires?

[@carlovillarica]

I've done a couple of downhill runs with it now. Corners fine. but to be honest, I'm probably not cornering it anywhere near its limits.

[@benben8278]

Do you also replace inner tubes when you change tires from one to another?

[@carlovillarica]

these particular tires are tubeless. So no inner tubes, but if an old inner tube works, I'll use the old one.

[@rouenpadilla9761]

I'm curious about your groupset, what's your GS on your bike at the moment?

[@carlovillarica]

All GRX - except for my right shifter which is Ultegra bec my original GRX broke

[@OliverLeung]

Stagger your setup - 35 in the back, 30/32 in the front

[@carlovillarica]

Interesting idea. I'm going to do something similar to my 650b setup when the rear tire wears out

[@ryanancheta8528]

I love slick but thick tires...

[@carlovillarica]

Me too. I think sweet spot would be 32s. But for most cases, I think thicker is better

[@stevenbikes1936]

Grabe, ang dami mo ng na-try na tires sa gravel bike haha. Super helpful.

[@carlovillarica]

haha ya i personally find it fun to try out different tires

[@stevenbikes1936]

@@carlovillarica hey, what's the best road tire you can recommend?

[@carlovillarica]

@@stevenbikes1936 i wish i could help you. I don't have much experience with road tires (slicks 30mm below). So I can't give you a good recommendation. Although these are definitely good. I heard good things also about the gp5000

[@76spaceman]

Cycle Meeting is legit! I've been getting from Chris as well. Might be buying too much nga yata. LOL.

you are welcome!

[@tw_trad]

I am a pampered little child whose butt goes hurty with anything smaller than 35 mm and I'm proud of it (my road tires are 650Bx42mm slick gravelkings)

[@carlovillarica]

hahaha i hear you! For me, I like trying new tires. So I wanted to give this a go

[@abmazing4916]

hahaha wala gi gravel gihapon ang slicks. ride safe always Sir! btw, kumusta ang heart rate monitor vs garmin watch Sir? hehe

[@carlovillarica]

Thanks! Ok ra gyud. Gamit kaayo ang HR chest monitor pag race haha

[@mrbisaya]

@@carlovillarica get a powermeter....

[@m3llys]

Di madulas sa offroad? Parang pudpud tires mo walang grid sa goma

[@carlovillarica]

it's slippery, especially if it is offroad and steep

[@GeekonaBike]

Sounds like your gonna want two wheelsets, one for the road tires & one for fattier rubber.

[@carlovillarica]

i do have two wheelsets haha
