Ok, then it sounds like you need spacer because you're bottoming out, the question is how much of one, but as a guess 1mm should be all that you would need. I would think a bike shop would be able to tell you how much…
Here is website that might help: Why Is Your Cassette Lockring Not Tightening?- 6 Solutions This is from SRAM, scan down to about a third of the way down to where it says "Cassette Installation":…
I tried the Tubolito X-Tubo which comes with a 1-year warranty against flats (inside the Pirelli Gravel H). I got a glass flat on the second ride and the tube is essentially unrepairable so I gave up on that idea. I…
Schwalbe has different kinds of "guards" (how they call it) with different kinds of protection levels. I use Schwalbe tires with a high protection level for years now. They're slow, they're heavy, they're the opposite…
I voted to pull them out after the ride, but that's not how I did it when I use to live in the Mojave Desert in California. This was back in the tube days, but some of this will work for tubeless tires. The first line…
Oh you said did you?! Ha ha! 🙂) …dude, I don’t use a power meter. I go on how I feel when I ride. ...New school I know! That's what I thought, you have no proof, I'm ending this part of our conversation with you…
FWIW I can't perceive small differences in rolling resistance so in that regard I'm OK with most decent tires. AFAIK nobody measures souplesse but I can feel gross differences so I avoid stiffer tires. I seldom ride on…
I'm not all that interested in rolling resistance test data, as it’s conducted in a lab on smooth rollers, not out in the real world where the road is never smooth. I’m basing my observations on real world riding…
So what everyone is telling me that no one has any test results using a on bike power meter that can tell us what the rolling watts TEST was? That's what I thought! You can't go by the seat of your pants and tell us a…
In my testing the Sawtooth is also excellent on road. Rolling resistance is very similar to a slick tyre, partly because of the slick centre line, but mostly because it is a truly inverted tread tyre. At first glance it…
Interesting to read so many are using touring tyres for gravel. It goes to show that whilst so much gravel bike promo is around gravel race performance, the majority of gravel riders are perhaps more interested in…
Have you tried the Marathon Almotion? The tread is similar to the Mondial but with smaller blocks and less space between them. According to BRR the tube (not TLE) version is lighter and faster than the Mondial but has…
This discussion about inverted tread gravel tyres is very interesting. But what actually is inverted tread? …for example, I would argue that the Schwalbe G-One RS is NOT inverted. In fact it is the opposite. In my…
A few of the best inverted tread tires is the GravelKing X1; the Continental Cyclocross Speed, and their Speed Ride; Schwalbe G-One RS, and their Overland. There are other tires to consider as well. Someone might…
DO NOT buy a bike that is rated for 260# like that Surly, you are 260# which means the bike is borderline for you. You want a bike that that can handle at least 100 pounds more than you are, because that weight rating…
I use a Selle Anatomica H2 saddle on my gravel/touring bike. I did learn something interesting about the Selle Anatomica saddles from various forums, that alway go to the next weight recommended saddle from what you…
