We’ve ridden both, and find the 120tpi marginally more compliant, both in riding and under the finger test.

We recommend installing two layers of tubeless tape on the rim of your choice. Calfee Design Tetra Adventure Bike Review: USA-Made Carbon!

Width: 40mm list, 37.6mm on 19mm internal width rim at 35 psi, (43mm on 29mm internal width rim) Now tire is worthless. Enjoying our comprehensive coverage of every title race? For January of 2016, they accompanied me to Australia, and traversed the varied surfaces of the gravel roads in South Australia. I had planned to use these tires for CFITT next month but I’m searching for new tires now. The ride feel is almost identical to the MSO 36’s as the tire is very well damped and smooth feeling. I did try to do it myself with my air compressor (valve core installed – I didn’t have a remover at the time) to no avail. That still doesn’t make the Rambler “a less difficult tire to mount” however; since you really don’t need to do any tricks with other gravel class tires we’ve tested so far on the site. That’s almost 200 grams lighter than many gravel tires, including the Vittoria TNT Adventure Trail. Stay tuned……. These tires will live out the rest of the review period here on these rims, I can tell you that right up front! They did not loose any air overnight. If you’d rather save money more than weight, or hope to add more flat protection, Maxxis also offers a 60tpi version than gains about 40g more due to a heavier casing and a higher level of flat protection with the Silk Shield belt instead of the EXO casing. But yeah I’ll never ever buy another Rambler!

I’ve swapped the same set I acquired for review in December between three different wheelsets, absolutely no problems! I have been impressed with the weight and ride but mine haven’t held up nearly as well. [CDATA[ I will continue to ride these tires the remainder of the season, and when they pop back up in stock, I will pick up another set! A Semi-pro team mechanic could also not seat them. Talked to the mechanic this morning. They seem to be holding air pretty well. Do you see a difference in the quality of ride if you mount them with a tube?

I have put over 500 miles on the tires so far and I love them. They set up easy but don’t seem to hold air overnight. Discuss and share your questions or thoughts about gravel bikes, gear, events and anything else on the Riding Gravel Forum . American Classic Race 29’er MTB wheelset, 41mm. Maxxis Rambler 40mm Tires: Getting Rolling- The tubeless tire supply for gravel riders has really been opened up for 2016. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it offers a comfortable ride, but it also manages to still be reasonably quick. For the WTB rims, I first mounted them with tubes and let them sit for a day. CXNut, did you ever get these on the AC101 rim? Weight savings always comes with some trade-off, and in the case with the Rambler, the lightweight casing is more fragile than a tire that’s 200 grams heavier.

Riding lower pressure and swapping heavy 200g inner tubes for about 100g of sealant are two adjustments that should be higher up on your list.

Tim- I haven’t used that company’s wheels since they were called Edge Wheels. Or as Carl Decker maintains, ride to protect the tires. Tell us what you particularly disliked about the product.

I'll Be a Supporter. I found I was riding much faster downhill, mostly because of the extra volume and comfort the tyres give, so the puncture protection is something worth having. I wonder if this is 585g painted? With that said, I purposely ran the rear Rambler backwards for a short period and didn’t notice much of a difference. Of course, tyre pressures are personal, but as a guide you will probably want to drop several PSI compared to a 40mm tyre. I am assuming folks will be riding shorter muddy stretches, not a mile long section, in which case it would be unreasonable to expect good performance from any tire on a bicycle. That wasn’t the point at all, which you are carefully avoiding. Featuring a gravel-specific tread pattern, long-life dual tread compound, tubeless ready construction and EXO sidewall protection on the high end 120TPI (threads per inch) model, the Rambler is a tyre that sounds perfect for just about any gravel road one may encounter. The EXO 120tpi tires are lighter than most 33 or 34c tubeless cyclocross tires, and the high volume, supple casing and low profile tread will get you rolling faster than a stiffer, narrower or bigger knob tire as well. My bike shop just called to tell me they cannot get my Maxxis Rambler mounted on my WTB KOM i23 rim. The Maxxis Rambler mounted easily on my NOX Composite carbon wheelset. Its evenly arranged tread pattern with short, angular studs promises good all-round properties. With 30c handmade slicks on one end, to 45c behemoth and wider knobby, puncture-protected casing tires on the extreme end, the Rambler aims to master the 80% of gravel and dirt roads that most of us encounter on rides …

That said, there were limits to the traction. How does the price compare to that of similar products in the market, including ones recently tested on road.cc? These tires also do not seem to be hindered at all by the blocky tread pattern nor by the EXO sidewall protection as the Ramblers easily out rolled the Teravail and just nipped the Clement MSO 36 in my roll down tests. . On a cyclocross course, we feel the tire is a bit better as a rear tire than a front tire, simply because the low profile tread grips better under more body weight. It is a light, fast, supple tire with decent grip. There may be a hint of sealant seepage with the sidewalls, but again, this may be the sealant I am testing.

On the road they are a little slower, although not as much as I initially expected, and unless you are racing or very competitive it doesn't hamper the ride much at all.
