For my fat bike tires I use a large plastic syringe to suck it out of the tires I'm taking off, and squeeze it in to one of those 2 oz Stans bottles to push it thru the valve on my new tires. Works pretty well and not a…
Yes - I had this problem with a GravelKing SS+. See this thread: https://forum.ridinggravel.com/post/tire-slipping-on-rim-11870280?pid=1327532903 Eventually a mechanic used some dabs of RTV on the bead to get it to hold…
I put a pair of 45 mm Riddlers on my bike last year. The rear one took a lot of fiddling to get it to hold air - soapy water showed it was leaking air thru a vey narrow line around each sidewall. After a great deal of…
I noticed that on the Strada Bianca website this tire is designated at the H-TLR, not the HTLR. I feel like that hyphen is doing a LOT of work, and it's important to include it in discussions of the tire. The SB…
I'm curious about the QBP comment....
I'm preparing for another long cold season here in MN. I've used those chemical heater packs between two pairs of socks in the past, but my feet still get REALLY cold. I figured this would be the year I splurge on some…
I'd be shocked if that minimal tread pattern had any real influence on bike handling. The tram-lining feel that you're describing is similar to what I feel when I run my front tire at low pressure. I'll sometimes air my…
I'm dealing with what seems to be a rare problem, and hoping for some ideas here. I recently mounted a GravelKing SS+ 38 mm tire on a HED Emporia aluminum rim, with a 25 mm ID. The previous tire, original to the bike,…
I've seen various clip on platforms around that convert a clipless pedal to a platform. Presumably if you can find such a product for Look KEO clips, you could make yourself a set of flat pedals from Assioma power…
I took delivery of my Waheela C in December, and I live in the northern US so I haven't done anything longer than 60 miles yet. BUT: coming from an aluminum cyclocross bike to the Waheela with 38 mm tubeless…
I specced a set of HED Emporia wheels for my new gravel bike. They're about $700 for a set, fit wide tires great with the 25mm width, and the hubs are pretty quiet. I'm really happy with the wheels. I actually wish they…
My Otso Waheela C arrived the day after Christmas, and two days after snowfall. I don't have studded tires so I've only taken it out once. Upgraded to GRX800 and HED Emporia wheels.
