All good tips. My 80,000km round the world used 700×40’s for all terrain and these tips are excellent, in my experience.

Excellent article and some really good tips for adapting your riding style to help make rough sections more enjoyable. Tire width, tread and pressure are critical elements that people often underestimate in terms of their importance. It takes some trial and error to find what works best for each of us, but I’d highly recommend anyone interested in the relationship between tire width, tire tread, tire sidewalls and tire pressure to check out Jan Heine’s newsletter (it’s free) that he publishes on his company website: ReneHersecycles.com. Jan has done extensive research into how tires perform and he regularly dispels a lot of myths about “skinny” tires being faster. I should add Jan’s a serious randonneur and routinely puts his theories to the test out in real world events. Thanks for writing such a detailed and helpful article Becky.

Good read! Confirmed my experience of my first year of serious mountain and gravel biking.
