Gravel Bike Meets Extreme Single Track: Lauf Seigla Test

[@mellissanash7517]

you didn't mention how wide the tires are or test it with some 2.25 faster xc tires. Those would have helped you get up much easier. We do it in the desert south west of the US all the time on gravel bikes, but with 50-55mm xc tires.

They were regular Maxxis Rambler (came stock with the bike), 45C. Good tires, but have since moved to Pirelli Cinturato.

@@dustypedals I wasn't hot on the Cinturato M 50mm. I prefer the 52mm Schwalbe Thunder Burt at that size, much nicer ride, while it felt faster too.

Thanks for the tip. I'll check them out when I have a chance!
