I am just looking at the spec on your wheel and it indicates a minimum tire width of 1.9". Your 38mm tire cannot be safely used on that rim.
With modern tubeless rims you wouldn't need to add a second layer of tape. If the rim is offset and the existing tape is dimpled, you may have a problem getting it sealed. If the rim is unused this shouldn't be an…
I have this problem with my girlfriend's bike (WTB Riddler Tire). They are tubeless tires & rims but she doesn't ride enough to make it worth maintaining sealant. I can't get a "hop" out of her front tire with tubes. I…
I just mounted the new Alluviums from Kenda. With only one ride in I think these roll at least as well as G Ones (if not better) and gave me more confidence on wet surfaces then the G Ones.
I occasionally try other tires but the G Ones continue to be the best rolling tire for me. I like WTB resolutes when the road gets loose and muddy but they don't roll as well as the G Ones.
You are doing the right thing by having a wheel built by hand. For gravel it should be at least 32 spoke with a hoop that does not prohibit your weight. Ive struggled with this problem in the past and I weigh 100lbs…
I had a similar experience recently and it turned out to be the "dimpled" rim tape allowing air to escape on inflation. Adding a second layer of tape on this rim is not a good idea but if you have deep dimples in the…
I'm usually weighing in at 225 and have run 3 pairs of Resolutes on 650s over the last 4 seasons or so. I generally run 30-35psi in both and have had 2 flats that didn't seal. Both were significant pictures and at a…
I am running Nextie carbon MTB rims 27.5 with an inner width of 22mm with 40-45mm tires with no issues. I had a hard time finding 650b hoops that work with that size tire too. Current MTB carbon hoops are pretty tough…
I just tried the cannonballs. Loud and sluggish on pavement, sketchy traction on the gravel we have in Ohio. I went back to resolutes, my favorite so far for all gravel conditions and pavement.
