    I put together a custom build wheel set for my Tallboy 4. 29" 35mm wide with Maxxis Rekons 2.6 wide. I opted for the 120tpi version because I had good luck with them on a previous bike. I dry fitted them on and everything fit well. The next day I add the sealant but the day after it looks like...

    Just purchase a Raleigh Cadent bike for my son. Need new tires but when I look on the tire it reads (52-559)24x1.75. The sizing guides I find online doesn't show these numbers corresponding to each other. Also, is 1.75 an odd number? I have trouble finding replacements online.

    So is the date printed on Orange Seal tire sealant the expiration date? Or the date the product was manufactured? I just bought a 16oz bottle of Orange Seal Endurance Sealant and I noticed it says “Lot 1155” above the date, and the date is 08/31/20. Wondering if I should return it immediately or...

    Kinda weird question... I bought a used 2015 Santa Cruz Bronson C that has some WTB i23 rims on it. Front tire is a Maxxis DH 2 (2.4) and rear tire is a Maxxis High Roller 2 (2.3). The rims are true when I test by indexing a pencil just barely off the rim (attached to the frame so it doesn't...

    Talk all you want about the benefits of upgrading wheels, brakes, or even your bike's entire drivetrain. But pound for pound (or gram for gram in this case), there is no better bang-for-buck upgrade than new mountain bike tires. After all, that spinning rubber is the only thing on your bike that...

    Having your tire fail catastrophically doesn't mean you have to walk home. Last week, I was riding along when a gunshot went off. Well, it wasn't a gunshot, it was my rear tire. The casing had violently blown out. With the nearest road 10 miles away, walking wasn't an option. After unleashing...
