the gk's have 120 tpi, which is relatively high, meaning it's more supple and will cut easier than other tires. and I'm not a fan of the rock throwing.

initially i thought it might be because it's for cyclocross, but they changed the max width to 33, not 35.

don't worry, they're already sending me a new tire.
on the note of weight, the extra sealants add minimal additional rotational weight, as it settles in a puddle that perpetually settles to the bottom of the tire as the tire rotates. the sealant is more evenly…
i used them for about 4 months as sort of backup wheels. great condition, no scratches. rolls perfectly true comes tubeless ready with tape and valve stems. currently setup for 15x100 12x142, but I have the conversion…
yea light bicycle is the real deal i've heard. my teammate has a pair. I was considering on getting a pair, but settled on cheaper aluminum wheels.

my road tires get about 3-4k miles (?) before they start to develop a significant flat spot. gravel tires have a much larger contact area, and should in theory last a lot longer. anyone wear out a gravel tire? which…
I've found it helpful to make sure the tire is adequately covering the valve stem and that there's no major holes there, where air could escape. I've had decent success getting the tires to bead without a compressor so…

once again, more false assumptions. it was my teammate, not me. he was running appropriate psi. logic isn't your strong point. why don't you stick to riding.

it also said you should check your sealant every 6 months or so, to make sure the solvent hasn't evaporated or something. they make dip sticks for this purpose, but I'm thinking if you can hear it go splash inside, it…
