Well, based on others' online reviews, those look like some cracking fun tires. The tread pattern reminds me a bit of old BMX tires in the 80's. A local shop in Ontario lists these tires (online) for $90 (CAD), which…

I've never spent much time on a 1x setup save for a winter on a fatbike with a Gates belt drive mated to a Rohloffs 14s internal hub (which has consistent stepping between each gear)....not a great analog for current 1x…
These are really good insights, thanks! After one bad experience with WTB tires...side knobs completely ripping off on brand new MTB tires... like 15 years ago, these are the first WTB tires that I have used. I've more…
Thanks for everybody's responses so far. We're pretty confident that the crash caused the tire to unseat, and not the other way around. We just wanted to see if others had similar experiences with (various) tubeless…
I has this happen to my front wheel on a new Grail Team wheelset. I contacted Stans and they sent me, quite quickly, a 16oz bottle of sealant and a roll of rim tape. I had to remove the old tape, clean off the sticky…
My partner had a crash yesterday. She got caught in a rain rut on a fast turn on a crushed gravel city pathway. I was in front so I missed the crash but could see where she hit the side of the rut and washed out. She…
Yes, I rode some singletrack on the Nanos on each of the last 2 rides, while my partner is still on the SKs (we are awaiting delivery of a 2nd pair of Nanos). There was a noticeable improvement in traction and I was…
I think we've hijacked the OP's original post a bit, but I feel that I must weigh in here on the 'stone-slinging' behavior of the Gravekling SK. We have had the same experience as alembical (and others). We've only had…
I know you were not interested in the SK, but that's what I have (or rather had). Specifically, 700x38 Gravelking SK (black sidewalls) on Stan's Grail Team wheels (supposedly 21.6mm internal width, according to Stan's…
I agree with you and have already told them that I felt that it was unacceptable. The quote I provided was their response, in part, to that issue. The questions then are: what is acceptable and who decides? I haven't…
Would you say that this was more a spacing issue between dropouts (so the wheel is loose prior to snugging the TA) or that the dropouts aren't quite parallel (or a little of both)? Anybody else have experiences to share?
I have a question about the experience of others with the fitment of the front wheel in the thru-axle forks. The bikes are Kind Human Kensuke, which has a similar (open mold) frame design as the Fezarri Schafer and the…
I can confirm Chas's note that they (Graveking SK 38, set up tubeless on Stans Grail) pick up tons of smaller gravel and fling it around. Much of my local riding (Southern Ontario, Canada) is on stone-chip paths (such…
I'm considering trying this tire for the wetter fall riding season , so I too am curious if any others have tried it out?
Another example is the Norco Search XR with full Ultegra except for a Praxis 48-32 crank. We almost went with this crank when building up new full Ultegra bikes, but opted instead for Ultegra 46-36, and swapping the…
I heard the chain rattle once yesterday on a particularly bumpy fast downhill section. It was surprising since it was the first drivetrain noise (other than 'snicking' through the gears ) I checked at the bottom and lo…

Myself and my partner just got his&hers gravel bikes (Kensuke model) from KindHuman a couple of weeks back. We ordered them back in April, with full Ultegra (mechanical shifting, hydro disc braking) at around the time…
