This was a first for me. I’ve done this daily route as a workout to the river and back (50 minute, 10 mile and 1,400 ft of elevation) literally hundreds of times in all weather and never had a tire issue. A ripped tire one day and a tire blow off the rim the next. Hope that’s it for a while.
Just retired May 1 and working to get back into bike racing weight and condition this Summer. I’ll need to reward myself with a new gravel bike like that pretty titanium Salsa when I get there!
