25mm is a narrow gravel tire. Except on an 'ideal' packed gravel road, of course.

edit: Which route you choose makes all the difference.
even if the sloppy conditions on the long route are only a few miles, too narrow on the rubber can be hazardous. Unless you walk the slop.


one showstopper stops the whole show.
Yes, I know they are narrow. I plan on riding the San Lucia route which has about 16 or so miles on gravel. I'm going take them out for a gravel ride in Dallas and see how I like them. If I keep them at about 70 psi and I dont weigh that much, it could work. We shall see. I might be walking in the slop as well depending. Haha
