If you're running brakeless installed, put a Gravel King on the front and a Pasela on the back.
When its wet/damp the Gravel King glues your front wheel to the road. The Pasela on the rear is skid resistant, and grip doesn't suddenly fall off the edge, half way though a big slidey stop in the wet like when riding Gatorskins.
Corner with confidence, and also the tyre logos match nicely as well.
(edit): Been riding this combo for about 6 months after finally getting fed up with with just how poor Gatorskins are. No punctures as of yet on a full time weekly commute.

Good to see you dude! Hope you got a decent amount of climbing in.
Hi @digs86 thanks for the invite on Friday, too sleepy to move/very early morning on Saturday though. Sure I'll bump into you soon, we're just around the corner, lets hang another time!

@HoKe are you at the Kings Head SW1?
The high pitch whine of offended jobsworths on bikes are coming out of the woodwork left, right and centre.
Just over a week ago I passed some bloke on gears down Walworth Rd, a few minutes later he decided to catch up with me, looking like he nearly burst a lung in the process, totally red in the face.
As he past me in the undertake he proceeded to pant/whine out out "Where are your brakes!?".
I shoulder checked and replied "Here!" As locked up and came to a complete stop in a flash as he flew past me, clearly shocked, because he rubber necked me for about 20 yards until he also came to a complete stop using the aid of the back right hand corner of a left turning pick up truck.
As I passed him by I asked him "Where are your brakes!?" As he was on the floor trying to unclip.
Mate, just fit brake hoods to all of your drops. I've got a few pairs of Sram Apex carbon brake hoods, locking off the brake lever so it doesn't rattle around.
After that, just carry-on riding a bike without putting yourself into a position where you would crash into anything as per usual.
