... Can 48 mm tires do a 15-17 mph road ride pace? I have 42 on all my other bikes. Would 48s be slow? The ride is a 2 day event, 100 miles total. I’d like to keep the tires if I could, because they’re new and they are fat enough to also double as gravel tires, should I decide to do a gravel ride again. But I do more road rides than anything else, and if those 48s will cripple me, I’ll go back to 42s. What’s the consensus?

A dyno hub puts out a nominal 3 Watts. If you ride it for an hour, that's 3 watt-hours worth of electricity. Let's say it gets split between the light and your phone. If you ride continuously for 10 hours, that's about 30 watt-hours. Let's say half is used to power the light, half to power the phone...
Seconded on RH knobbies. I have them in 42mm and they're alarmingly nice on pavement whilst leaving some margin when I hit dirt and gravel spots (which is most pavement rides around here).
... I am going to sow the seed now that the gravel & travel platy should run RH knobbies if no fenders - they are remarkably quick on pavement and a lifesaver on gravel and dirt. I run them on my Wombat which I ride on some challenging terrain and I've never felt the tires were a limiting factor yet!

You don't say which Gravel King model you are using, but I see in your Philly post that you have Ultradynamico Cava tires on your bike. So maybe you run the file tread GK? Anyhow, I rode through 2 sets of 700x42 Gravel King SK on my old Sam Hillbourne before moving up to 700x50 which just barely fit. I thought I'd notice a big difference but it turned out not to be true, as long as I kept the air pressure up. I only have 650b bikes now, and don't ride Gravel King SK after discovering the Rene Herse file tread much smoother and faster "feeling". I've switched back and forth from 42 and 48mm RH file treads as well as 42 Gran Bois and have settled on 48mm RH (Switchback Hill) which measures quite a bit over 48mm on my wheels. The 42mm tires gave the perception that I was faster but the strava data did not corroborate, and the 48mm have so much lovely float over gravel compared to anything narrower or with tooth, I figured why bother? YMMV but I think 48s won't be an issue. If my words sway you at all towards RH, just keep in mind that they are not great in wet conditions with steep descents combined with rim brakes. I learned this twice this fall, and kept RH knobbies on until a few days ago.mysterious JOn Wednesday, March 20, 2024 at 11:42:19 AM UTC-4 Patrick Moore wrote:The 60 mm Schwalbe Big Ones that used to be on my dirt road Matthews were among the very fastest-rolling tires I've used, including various "racing" tires and 2 extralight RH models.

When I go on a two day ride, I just put my phone in airplane mode. It (a five-year-old iPhone) will stay charged for more than a week that way. When I need to use it for anything other than a camera, I take it off airplane mode. As Max suggested, you can also carry an external battery for charging in a pinch.
