Having to run my gravel bike on road while I sort a new road bike out. 45mm gravel tyres are comfy but draggy, 28mm road tyres are highlighting the stiffness of the frame (battering me) unless I risk pinch punctures, so wanting something slightly wider, roll well, folding, and up to £25-30 an end to see me through till October-ish when new bike should arrive.
Open to ideas
Gravel kings for me (non-sk). Roll well, light, tubeless and cheap. Only had punctures that won’t seal after they’ve flatted off.
Specialized Roubaix if you can find some with a few quid off.
Gravelking slicks for me too - I was out riding with my mate on his race bike, carbon aero wheels, I was riding my Diverge with 32mm Gravelkings - rolling downhill, neither of us pedalling and there was no noticeable difference in rolling speed
Getting tubeless Gravel Kings on the new build - currently torn between a pair of clincher versions and some Zaffiro Pro IV which would be £20 cheaper on ProBikeKit, unless someone has a better suggestion?
I've got a pair of schwalbe one 30mm you can have for £25 + postage.
Gone for the Gravel Kings - gives me time to change the order on the new bike build if I hate them!

£20 each. Just a smidge over 32c, depending on your rim. greens for light and supple, blues for heavier and more puncture protection.
