Thanks. Yes it would be the best option but I'm just trying this out on a budget (I've too many other bikes to maintain ) Therefore, for now at least, I was just thinking of trying some gravel roads with 28s

I've seen plenty of photos of forks and brakes with scratches due to tires picking up debris.

Not a problem in this case - Plenty scratched already! The GW's very much my 'everyday ride'.

Nice bike BTW. Yellow's always good with me!
