They're taking 100g+ of carbs and trying to stuff 2.25s into their gravel bike. 40mm is already obsolete and fast becoming an anomaly, or a compromise.
People were winning on 35s and 38s not even 5 years ago and now those tire sizes are all but dead for gravel. 40mm following quickly behind.
Considering that I paraphrased it from memory, I seem to have summarized your post pretty accurately. (Emphasis added.)
My post was about tires.
The post you made up was about bikes, which my post wasn't about.
Of all the people here, one would think
you would be the least likely to play fast and loose with references.
Compare these two posts:
A post you created in your mind, attributing something I said about gravel bikes, which turned out to be untrue. A fabrication, a lie, not real.

You're the guy who's been bombastically lecturing people about how wider tires are faster, and even wrote in one recent thread (paraphrasing) that if a gravel bike doesn't take 45mm+ tires it's out-of-date.
A real post, from me, about gravel tires. Note that the phrase "45mm+", does not appear in my post:

Everything I said was correct. You made up a lie to make me look bad, this is very poor behavior. Get it together man, you are, at least in your own mind, better than this. In a professional setting, this would be actionable. The worst thing is you have refused to see your error and attempted to further bolster your lie. In the real world, you'd be stood in front of a committee at 9am tomorrow where you would learn this was most likely a terminal mistake.
Think before you post.
