00:04Schwab's G1 RS Pro gravel tires and you might think that whoever has built the bike has put
00:11one of the tires on backwards but some gravel tires including these are bi-directional so if
00:18you look at the label on the tires it is one direction for forwards and one direction for
00:25the rear tire so you've obviously got a tread that is prioritizing speed in one direction and
