So, finally tried to go tubeless on these wheels, and the pin joint is leaking significantly. Any suggestions? Not yet tried with sealant though, just a bare empty tyre . Will sealant seal the leak? Reluctant to make a…

Thanks guys.
Velo Orange sells one for about 200, but you need a new BB, which is also available with them.

Hi Guys, We are going to the US for about 2 weeks to drop our daughter to college at Penn. We have been road cyclists for almost a decade, and had looked at the Catskill area and made a reservation there for half our…

Hi Guys, Thanks to stumbling on this forum, my wife and I decided to give gravel bikes a shot. Ordered the Haanjo and the Haanjen. We were planning a cycling vacation in the US in Aug/Sep and were planning to take our…
