Ere Tenaci TLR Gravel Tyre - A review by Conor Verbruggen

Ere Tenaci TLR Gravel Tyre review An undeniably crucial quality of any tyre is wear rate (Vittoria Corsa owners will be well aware), so it's a bit early to declare the Ere Tenaci the GP5000 of gravel. More adventurous off-roaders may well find the tyre wanting for grip on wet muddy corners or single-track, and that's to be expected.

While I was away Ritchie spent a few days in Dublin with the Base2Race group and their coach Eanna McGrath. I heard great things so when I arrived back and I was keen to meet the group. Recently I had been a bit lost in terms of coaching and my plans for next season but after a day or two with Eanna and the Base2Race squad I knew that this would be a perfect training base. I was suddenly excited about the prospect of training in Ireland, something I've never...
