Hahah. Maybe. I prefer to pedal corners without pedal strike and minimize booping my big ring on small logs. 7cm x 584/50 crew for life. But yeah. No wrong answer. And I thought the collective tarck suspicions regarding high bb and 650b was cya by bike companies.

Cool. I will try some. I can get 3 of them for the price of one protection Race King, which will only fit on my front anyway. Someone is specialling them at half price.
I was never able to get mine to set up tubeless, but Iām not sure that they were ever meant to be without tubes
Tube only I think. I do distinctly remember one blowing of a Stanās Crest rim in the original tiny CBC location. It was loud and messy.
My RM had a chain guide like that. It was kinda annoying, tbh.
Norco did something similar with their carbon grave bikes too. Also a little annoying.
I can live with that. When the apocalypse comes stans will be harder to get than bullets, benzine, sram dangler batteries and water.

CGI has dealt to the latex economy the same way that batteries are causing all the cable factories to close down.

Gravel King is 2.1. But itās a gravel king.

Hmmm maybe racekings would fit under my fenders but itād be tight. Contemplating building wheels for my rockhopper commuter. Trying to decide if tubeless is worth it.

Whatās the fit problem? Iāve got rat traps under fenders on my stumpjumper
My fenders are 55mm wide. could get bigger fenders I guess but Iām trying to keep the wallet fire to a minimum
Gf rode the ritcheyās for a while. Not supple and not rated for tubeless but I would guess they would work. But the real answer is for commuters sealant in tubes is magic. Never losing air is worth a couple grams and some cool points
