Pull up a couch. It's cool in the Lounge. Just remember to be a good neighbor.

The Heidenau will give you miles with pretty good traction for gravel. If you want miles out of your tire and riding gravel is secondary it is not a bad tire. My problem with the tire; rubber flaked off in chunks around 8000 miles. 8000 on a rear tire is great but when the tread still has life but the rubber flakes off worried be.

After careful consideration ordered a Bridgestone 50/50 rear but it will be tkc when I need a GS front. My main criteria were it have tread and be inexpensive enough to not skimp on my nephew's wedding gift. :)
