Gravel tyres

[warthog1]

Well I have found my gravel king sk front and ss rear a good combo for the riding I do. Apart from that butt ugly brown tyre I got they have been very reliable.
Interested to see how this tests and it reads like they have made them a bit easier to seat.

Looks good. Have used my vote to get it tested at BRR

I have been running a set of standard X1's in 40mm for a few weeks now, very impressed with them.
Can confirm that were easy to mount. I was able to mount the bead with hand pump, and got them on my Fulcrum carbon rims with just my thumbs.
They are very fast on tar to me feel about as fast as my gp5000 AS 32's , having said that I have beaten heaps of my segments with them, so times would say faster..even at 30 psi.
Have put now 75ks of gravel as well also great grip and seem very puncture resistant.
Wear also has been great. So not like terraspeed in that respect.

wonder if anyone has had to top up their tubeless sealant mid-ride (because of a puncture that wouldn't seal) and if they did, what did they use?

(looking for a solution that allows me to carry <100ml sealant. still need a nozzle or tip to pour sealant without wastage)

Pretty sure must be adaptable small no cost bottles out there...think I've seen the take away soy sauce pouches suggested but if they work must be bigger than the ones I've seen

.. Stan's do a 2oz 59ml bottle intended for emergency repair

on Pushy's but I noticed LaTour who are local to me and I use more and more have cheaper if buy 4, other retailers are available

one more thing to have gone off in the tool bag when needed!

I carry plugs. I also put plenty of sealant in my 40c gravel tyres (~90ml).
If that doesn't work I'm bunging a tube in.

You can find small, clear, flat, flip-top plastic bottles out there. Various sizes.

Can either carefully hold the square tip up against a valve [core removed], or round the square until it just fits inside the valve inner-diameter; squeeze in sealant.

I generally carry one or two small 50ml? bottles, jammed [sitting upright] at the rear of a small top tube bag.

Pretty much every sealant brand makes a small bottle for exactly this purpose.

Orange Seal 118mL

As a bonus you only ever need to buy one so you can refill it from the big bottle.
