Do you need road wheels and tires for your gravel bike?

Описание: SORRY FOR THE BLURRY VIDEO!!!

Have you ever thought about just having only one bike? Gravel bikes often promise to be the one bike solution. But that usually means getting separate wheel sets and tires for road and gravel.

Or does it?

In this video, I take a set of road wheels and tires and pit them against a (tame) set of gravel wheels and tires.

See how much speed you really lose by keeping the heavy set of gravel tires on instead of swapping out to your aero road wheels and tires. At the end of the video you can decide if you think a separate set of wheels and tires are worth it down in the comments below.

Road set up: Challenge Paris-Roubaix 27c tires, tubolito tubes, Hunt Aero Wide Disc 34 wheels, 11-28 Ultegra Cassette. Pressures: 75R/70F

Gravel set up: Vittoria Terreno Zero 40c tires, tubolito tubes, Hunt 4 Season Gravel Disc wheels, 11-34 HG-700 (105) Cassette. Pressures: 55R/50F
