I get a lot of goat heads around here. I usually pull them out after the ride and let the sealant work it's magic. What's the common strategy on dealing with them? Pull 'em or leave 'em, and why? One of the reasons for…

I've bought 3M protective film for my bikes. I've applied on chain stays, and where cables rub. Works great, easy to apply and comes off easily without damaging the paint or leaving residue. My gravel bike is Ti and I…
Well, that's certainly discouraging. I haven't put mine on yet. My Thundero's are rolling fine. Maybe I won't put them on at all. 😟
My 1x Lynskey GR Race originally came with 10x33 rear cassette, I swapped the rear D and Cassette for an XO 10x50 and just love the bike and the gearing! It shifts beautifully, and has plenty of top end and bottom end.…
Looks really nice!

I just ordered a couple of these on sale from biketires direct. They look like a strong contender in the same category as Tofu Thundero. Anyone have any experience with them? I look forward to testing them out and will…
Ti is fantastic. Go fo the Lynskey. I love mine. 😉
If you've ever ridden along on nice tarmac, and gone off the side of the road into the gravel, just because you can.... You might be a gravel rider.
I've been using the Thundero 40s on my Lynskey. They've been holding up great so far, roll very nice on tarmac, and hold grip on gravel "pretty well", but not quite as grippy as Terra Trails (which I still like). The…
About 600 miles on the 40s now. I think my new fav. Tread seems to be wearing really well. Front still has some flashing in the center. Definitely roll better on the tarmac and sacrifice some in the gravel, but not…
I'm using Muc-off No Puncture. It's worked better for me than Stan's, but those are the the only two I've used.
I don't reuse. I would rather splurge for the extra xx money and just start with new stuff. If holes have been plugged and time has passed, I just don't trust the quality of what's been in my tires. I'm not rich, but…
I received the PrestaRatchet last night. Pretty cool, but the presta valve remover is a joke for tubeless. The tool wont turn enough between the spokes to even loosen the valve. Other than that, seems pretty cool if it…
I ordered the prestaratchet. Couldn't help myself. Looks cool. I'll update when I get it.
I snapped the arm off my 10 yo DA crank while riding. Fortunately, the failure was not complete and I didn't land on my face. It had lots of miles on it (20K miles maybe). The miles is just a guess because I have too…
If anyone is using the 40s I'd love to hear feedback, especially if they can be compared to Ramblers, Terra Trails, Flintridge.
Just another data point. My Thunderos in 40mm came in at 439 grams. I haven't put them on yet. Waiting for my Ramblers to wear out, which have been very good tires.
BTW, I love the Merlin. I ride my Merlin Works CR all the time (with 25mm tires, because that's the widest that will fit). 😂
