Tony: Congrats on a great ride. I'm a firm believer my Atlantis can do things I shouldn't be doing anyway & so is the perfect bike for my needs. Sounds like yours is close to standard Riv spec & you enjoyed the ride & didn't suffer for lack of equipment. Good to hear confirmation that lower pressure chubby tires can survive sharp gravel. I love 40mm tires but haven't tried below 50 psi. The 35f/40r suggestion is worth a try.
