road / gravel tyre widths

[jimmy156]

Probably a stupid question, so apologies in advance!

My gravel bike came with 40mm tyres, but I am doing 90% road riding with only the occasional venture onto paths and tracks.When the time comes I am thinking of replcaing the tyres with something a little more road focussed, but not a full road tyre. I am looking at either the schwable g-one all round 35mm or g-one speed 30mm.

My wheels have an inner width of 22mm, will I have any issues reducing the tyre width as far as 30mm?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the responses all, look like it will be fine!

The wheels are 650b, canyon spec the smaller wheel on their smaller frame sizes as standard.

Thanks for the replies. I won’t be changing the wheels any time soon. I assume that the frame can take 700c, although as canyon spec 650b I guess it’s possible that they don’t!

I’ll go for the 35mm schwable g-one all rounds then. I was thinking 30mm would feel rather hard after getting used to 40mm plushness!

Interesting I see I lot of recommendations for pressures as low as 40 (or even less) online, but my current tyres state 50-75 psi as the correct range.

On a side note Ian, do we know each other in the real world (you referred to me by name) or was that a guess from my username

Ah that makes sense, always forget PH gives you a profile page!

I agree about adding a personal touch
