Absolutely. In a long distance gravel race, especially when you’re on a straight road for miles at a time, collecting mud only slows you down. Certainly in a muddy CX or XC race you need knobs for the technical riding those disciplines demand. The muddiest edition of this race was won on slicks 💯
I also notice that people in CX races sometimes use narrow slicks for muddy days, I guess the theory is that the tire will cut thru the top layer of mud and dig in to the firmer ground below, rather than sliding around on top, collecting mud between the knobs and clogging up your situation

That is a clutch POV @3:39 regarding big tires! 🙏 Love this segment!!
More to come!
Awesome job Chadsky. Loved it! Rock on.
Chas is killing it!
Pedal choices on point 🎉

sick one!
Genuinely pissed you cut out me telling people to pump up a 50mm tire to 50psi (legal disclaimer: Don't ever do that)
303NSW up front, but FC on the rear. Proof that the NSW hub is a fail. He didn't want to say it, but that's the reason.
Hope the rocks here are less destructive to rims than the ones found on the roads of UAE!
No (Zipp) wheels were harmed in the shredding of this gravel race ✨

Love it!! ❤🔥
Slicks for mud? You'd have zero traction. The whole reason you gain speed in mud is because you don't shed it xD

Dude… fix the mic issue
It’s a GoPro mic, it’s directional 🤷 Sometimes Chas is a little muffled when the camera is pointing at the athlete, but noted!
Dude , lighten up
