You are right, the embossing is 44x584. Remeasured tires and at the outside of the lugs they are 48mm but if I measure the tire between the lugs it is 46 mm. I wonder if that is where the 44 comes from. How did you…
FlashBazbo Thats kinda odd. My Ventures are a true 47 on DTSwiss 22.5mm rims. They inflated to 47 mm right out of the box. After a few rides they have plumped up to about 48 mm. Could there have been a mix up during…
Thanks for the feedback. The tire is new and I did hang it for a day before install. The rest of the bead locks perfectly and the only leak is at the rim where the bump is. Maybe it is just a fold, didn't think of using…
Hi all Just got my new WTB Venture tires. I went to set up the rear wheel (without sealant yet) and the tire is leaking a fair bit of air due to a little bump in the bead that is next to the rim. I have never had this…
Hi Nitram Isopropyl alcohol is more commonly known as rubbing alcohol or isopropanol and is widely available at pharmacies and grocery stores. Isopropyl alcohol is one of the most effective ways to remove grease from…
Hi Nitram I have been riding Rival discs for a while now and I find them great, stop on a dime. But they were not always so great. Had similar problems to you and took them to my favourite bike shop who bled them. I…
otbjack I personally prefer spd over flats. Years ago when I rode mountain bikes I used flats for quick bailing off the bike. Now I found that I like the connection to the bike that clipless peddles give me. When I am…
Hi Gerard I live in the Vancouver area which, of course, means the potential for mud : ). This is my first 650b wheel set, so far my 700 x 35 Schwalbe G-1’s have been okay on a mix of road and gravel, but the 650 ‘s…
Hi all: Has anyone had any experience with the Ventures or come across any reviews? I see that these are now available, my lbs has said that they should be able to get them from the Canadian distributor in late January.…
Wilkins I bought my Niner used so had no choice. Would have preferred Shimano and if I was buying new the 105 is what I would get. I live in Vancouver and Shimano parts are just a lot easier to get up here. Also, in my…
Mine was the 3 star Rival build. I am not young and live in a mountainous area, so wanted 22 speeds. I have always had Shimano on my road and mtn bikes , but am getting along nicely with the SRAM.
Love my Niner RLT9 steel. Not light, but a great ride for long distances. Am currently setting up a 650b wheel set for 650 x 47 tires.
Now that you have had the Elwood’s for a while, how do you like them? Also do you have a measurement on the width now? Cheers Jack
Nice ride! Thanks for sharing. Cheers Jack
I always ride with a mirror and can honestly say that it has saved me from what could have been some rather nasty incidents. I do not trust drivers around here and even on gravel it has allowed me to keep tabs on dogs…
+ 1 for the large Planet Bike fenders, Just reinstalled them for their 2nd season on my RLT9. Am only running 35 mm tires, but provide good coverage.
Nice bike! Have a Niner RLT9 Steel and love it. The RDO looks really tempting though. Great pics, love that kind of country, looks like great trails and roads. Must say have never seen an elevation sign in chains…
Thanks Grf I am having the same issue with Merlin over these wheels. Their response to my concerns was pretty terse and they told me to get the adapter at my own expense. Not too happy with their customer service. Have…
Just my 2 cents worth. Have owned aluminum, steel, carbon and titanium bikes and as previously said have found it all comes down to engineering. My aluminum and ti bikes were cyclocross bikes that were built quite stiff…
As a lover of cars and bikes I agree with the last two posts that it kinda got the blood racing watching that awesome Porsche. But then I started to think about cars going that fast on gravel roads and how quickly a…
