Tubeless Tires for Bicycle Touring? Installing Schwalbe Almotion Tires.
Переглядів 2,8 тис.Рік тому
In an effort to improve comfort and performance, I install tubeless tires on my touring bike. However, I have questions. Are these tires suited for touring? Would they be dependable on rides through remote areas? I try to determine if they are up for the task. Update: The tight clearance with the Almotions caused some issues on my latest tour. I’ll be sharing details soon.

      @TheOutsidePerks didn't realize that the shifter worked on drop bars...I've only seen then on flat or alt bars...similar to the rholoff shifter. I do love the idea of the pinion gearbox but there's so few bike brands that are making frames for them. I've looked at the priority 600x bikes that Ryan Van Duzer rides...he was doing the TD but dropped out after 600miles due to severe saddle sores. It was rainy and cold at the start and he was never able to keep his bottom dry during the race.

    • @midwesturbanfarmstead
      @midwesturbanfarmstead 6 місяців тому

      @@stevemullin1195 Was sad for Ryan that he had to drop. I was just nodding my head watching his video. I think I'm a similar kind of rider - up for a personal challenge, not into racing. The standard grip shifter for Pinion with flat bars is made in an Ergon factory. When drop bars are spec'd on Co-Motion bikes, Co-Motion has a custom shifter made out of metal. Less a grip shifter and more a rotary dial imo. Kudos to Co-Motion on this - maybe Graham can get close-up video and comment on it in a future video. Not sure if they make it in house or have somebody do it for them. I'm really not a drop bar guy, I enjoy the Jones H-bar on my Co-Motion Divide with Pinion. But that Ergon grip shifter is the only option on flat bars for Pinion, and it needs a serious re-engineering. It has made me think twice about switching to drop bars. Very unhappy with it. Clearly the cheapest, poorly functioning component on the bike. Cannot shift with any sweat on my fingers, gloves are absolutely required. Probably won't be changed by Pinion, as they appear to be moving toward electronic shifting. Thought I'd put some of these reactions down in case anyone else considering the flat bar Pinion.

    The Ortlieb mounting system is cumbersome if you need to regularly remove your handlebars. For example when boxing the bike for plane travel the mount has to be removed so that the handlebars can be taken off and prepared for boxing. The cables begin to fray after repeated mounting and unmounting requiring a cable cutter to tidy up the end so it can be rethreaded. The mounting procedure is awkward, particularly if having to mount or unmount in challenging circumstances. Otherwise I have been very happy with my Ortlieb for those reasons identified in the video.

    Hey, I’m 62. My son is 27. We are flatlanders from Maryland. We are flying out to Portland with gravel bikes. He is pulling a.Burley I plan to take the Columbia River historic Trail from Portland to Hood River. I was wondering if you had any thoughts on how to use the Sierra Cascade Trail to get down to the Transamerica around Prineville. I hear that N45 is still closed. I was thinking of taking 35 south but then don’t know where to go from there particularly since folks suggest trying to avoid 26 south any thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated.

    • @TheOutsidePerks
      @TheOutsidePerks 7 місяців тому

      Hey Robert, The Sierra Cascades route intersects with the TransAm route at Santiam Junction east of Eugene. The section from Hood River south to Santiam Jct is a very scenic stretch. Conversely, following the SC route up 35 to Gov't Camp then taking 26 south all the way to Prinville would be shorter with less climbing than the SC route. I rode a short section of 26 from Gov C to NF-42 intersect (per SC route). It was on a Saturday and it had a lot of traffic. Also 26 leads to ok high desert scenery (I've driven parts) vs nice forests and camping on the SC Route to Santiam Jct. No closures on any of the Forest Roads on the SC route. NF46 through the burn area was open. If you're going the distance on the TransAm you may wish to take Highway 26 to shave some miles / effort, and probably mid week would be less traffic on 26. Enjoy your journey with you Son!
