If you ride on sharp gravel areas try and get the GK SK+ . This has additional puncture protection so very robust without much weight penalty.
I decided to go with the Panaracer Gravel King SK +. Apparently it has extra puncture protection and was designed for the Dirty Kanza where there is sharp flint. I figure if it stands up to that then it should be fine…
I got 700x 34c byways. Great for a couple of hundred miles then they cut almost every cycle usually the sealant handled it but bike was covered in sealant after a ride. Got 1 front puncture the sealant could not handle…
I've had to keep at them and eventually asked for my complaint to be referred up to senior management. As soon as I did that I was offered a replacement tyre. Just the one though. They accept the blister is a defect.…
Hi again. I am using OKO High Fibre Magic Milk which I know a few folk use with good success. While WTB will not warranty against punctures - no matter how frequent - they have agreed to give me a new tyre under…
I continue to have issues with punctures on the WTB Byways. I have now patched the front tyre from inside to get a seal on a relatively small cut that bacon strips just wouldn't stay in. On the rear I have used a…
Just to be clear, it's not weeping or sweating sealant out. It comes out in a spray, with air pressure then seals very quickly so it's like a puncture, a small one that the sealant deals with as it is intended to do. I…
Thanks for that info, very reassuring as I plan some bike packing trips in remote locations once the covid lockdown is lifted.
Folks, I have the byway on my gravel bike which I ride on tarmac and through our local windfarm on a whole range of compacted dirt road, logging roads, small loose gravel and also large hardcore surfaces. I really like…
Thanks folks. Anybody tried Stan's Tufo Extreme? I'm new to the tubeless scene and I bought a couple of 50ml bottles to carry with me in case of flats on my tubular tyres. The instructions suggest this is not for…
Folks, thanks for the responses. Looks like this mod should work on my gravel bike which is great news for my legs! Ferrous a pro bike rider friend of mine who suggested this mod to me said he uses a K-Edge chain…
Ferrous, thanks for your reply which is reassuring. Dont want to train, just have fun cycling!😆. All the best
Folks, I have a gravel bike with SRAM Rival 1 system, 11 speed. 40T chainring up front and 11-36 rear. I'm setting up for some bike packing trips in hilly Scotland and want to get lower gearing. SRAM say their 11-42 is…
Folks, thanks for the info and recommendations. Anybody want some finish line??? Got an unused bottle 🤔
I just bought new wheels and tyres which I will be setting up tubeless. After watching a couple of YouTube reviews I bought Finish Line sealant. It claims to remain liquid and last the life of the tyre. I just found…
The allroad spokes are listed in the spec as steel, not aluminium so they would appear to be different to other Mavic wheels? Where do you get spokes specific to the allroad? I am concerned that there are only 24 spokes…
I'm also considering these wheels. A custom builder I was discussing wheels with actually recommended them at the price point I am looking to spend. Said he uses them himself.
