Okay so I’m looking for new tyres.
Currently I’m riding schwalbe g one bite 42mm that measure in around 45mm, they were good but not great for the type of terrain that i ride. I usually ride around 50kms with occasional 80kms plus rides and all the rides are 70% tarmac and 30% gravel (roughly). So I need an advice which have a good rolling resistance on tarmac. Also I ride throughout the whole year, so I ride in wet conditions ALOT. I know that there is probably not a tire that can do everything but maybe something in the middle would do just fine. And one more thing I ride tubular TPU, would go tubless if you guys think that will also improve my ride by a great margin.

So I’m looking to buy accuriopress c4070 and I have couple of real life question. First of all I went to their local showroom where I had typical presentation, first impressions are good but not mind-blowing . Machine seems robust and handles the 300gsm paper pretty well, the print quality is decent, I must say I’m not blown away, for example the contrast and saturation seemed muted but maybe that is print files fault or anyone here knows that is their “flaw”. Main issues I had is time machine takes to print a file, note that file is uploaded to CWS. Technician said that every time you choose page from a file that you want to print CWS does the uploading again which for me is absurd. So to not make this an essay which I usually do. Is this a good purchase for this price range.

We are small print shop with main focus for printing book smaller circulation, brochures, cards, stickers and hardcovers. So print quality and print resolution with handling a thicker paper stock such as 300-360gsm is a must. They also recommended ch84hc for more vibrant colors but the price difference is huge.

Okay I need a sort of help from more experienced riders. First of all i ride gravel bikes exclusively, reason being that, for me it’s easier to just have one bike that does it all. Last 4 bikes all had somewhat okay-ish saddles, and also i was not riding them for rides longer than 50km but now I do. And now I have a problem with all the saddles that I own and that i bought. Most recent switch was from selle royal explora which for me was awful saddle, it does not have a pressure relief channel which made EVERYTHING numb after 20-30 km. After that I had selle royal respiro athletic which is too soft and too mushy so I was just all over the place (back pain, leg pain, foot pain you name it…). And now the last one that I have is a specialized power mirror aliexpress bootleg copy which is better than all the other that I have but….I still have pain mostly in my saddle bones. So finally the question is. Is it possible that after years and years of riding on as I said “okay-ish” saddles that my bottom is just too f’d up so I need some time to adjust myself and my seating position. Also note that i’m male and the closest professional bike fit is aprox 500km away from me.

Sorry for the essay. Hope somebody can help.
