Los Graveleros – First Look Teravail Washburn 700x 42 Gravel Tires
We got a pair of Teravail’s newest gravel tire called the Washburn. The Washburn comes in Tan – Light and Supple or Durable and Black – Light and Supple or Durable. I prefer black tires, so the gnomes in the supply chain made sure to send us a set of tanwall durable casing tires to […]
Teravail Rutland Review – By Andy Amstutz
I suppose I could have decided to go about writing this review in a Scooby-Doo type style, which would have been the road our favorite website curator may have gone. It would have started with something like, “Rut-Row Raggy…these Teravail Rutland tires are rad rad rad”, but that wouldn’t be my style and I wouldn’t […]
Teravail Coronado 29×2.80 Tanwall Tire Review
About eighteen months ago we took possession of a set of 29×2.80 Teravail Coronado tires. You might say that this was the set of tires that started the thought process that gave birth to the new set of Bike Nerd inspired 35mm (id) wheels. This is what I closed our first article about the tires […]

Hello, lovelies. Coming atcha fresh from the Fat-bike.com testing grounds is our review of Teravail’s 26×4.0 “Light and Supple” Coronado tires.

Spring Bike Safari – Made U.P. Lake Ehfect

A couple of weeks back, I shared my gravel bike’s third mutation and that article provided the inspiration for today’s compilation of our staff’s collection of gravel bikes. I’m a subscriber to the theory that (almost) every bike is a gravel bike, which is kind of supported by the variety of what these groovy cats […]
