Thanks Wintermute! Unfortunately I don't have enough posts to reply to a PM. Anyhow, in regard to your question on the performance of the Fat Franks on gravel.... I commute daily on gravel roads and I've been very happy with em. They roll nice and quiet and absorb vibration very well. If I was digging for a complaint I'd say they're kinda heavy but what you make up in comfort is well worth it. Hopefully that answers your question..
thanks,
Jeff
