Cut to the quick
after wheezing donkey suggested I had deserted "more bangs for my buck" when I bought my Bianchi Intenso/ Campagnolo Impreza last year I have just bought my 3rd Boardman: an ADV 8.9 "Adventure" bike. Hence 27 miles of the scree slope from Ilkley up to Keighley Gate and then a length of the Leeds-Liverpool canal to test.
Grip is all about tyre tread and since the provided tyres have a smooth tread (but 35mm for off-road comfort) a gravel bike it isn't. But then my Boardman MTB had JCB-type grip, but weighed another 5 lbs more and sounded like a rubber tank on fast tarmac. N+1 rules? Fortunately.
