![]() A poor-condition, broken or cracked rim must be replaced as it could cause leaks and be dangerous. Carefully check the condition of the rim. ![]() Comply with the maximum pressure indicated on the tyre sidewall.It is made airtight using sealant rather than an inner tube. Finish off fitting near to the valve.Ī Tubeless Ready tyre is a tyre that can be fitted without an inner tube. Repeat for the 2nd bead starting on the opposite side to the valve and positioning the bead at the bottom of the rim.For latex inner tubes, do not forget to apply talc to make it easier to position it in the tyre. Slightly inflate the inner tube to make it round and insert it into the tyre, starting with the valve.Broken or cracked tape must be replaced as this often causes punctures. Carefully check the condition of the rim.In addition, the compound ensures consistent grip across a wide temperature range from 5° to 40° Celsius (41° to 104° Fahrenheit).Īnti-puncture reinforcement delivers great handling even at lower pressures.ĭesigned with four plies in the sidewall areas to increase resistance to damage and increase lateral stability of the tyres’ casing during high-speed cornering.* This is the same sticky and durable rubber compound as used in Michelin's DH range of tyres that are optimised to offer high grip levels in wet and dry conditions on a variety of terrain. This has been made possible due to the use of the MAGI-X DH tread rubber compound, and Double Defense 4X-Ply, Low-Pressure Reinforcement and High-Density Puncture Protection integrated into the casing design. The focus of the new range is to offer the highest levels of grip in challenging conditions and to resist damage when riding at the limit. More robustness thanks to its double-reinforced Downhill Shield and anti-puncture reinforcement delivering excellent handling even at low pressures.Īvailable in front-and rear-specific versions, the MICHELIN Wild Enduro Racing Line tyres are available in 29x2.40 to suit the race bikes used today at the highest levels of the sport, and by riders who ride aggressively on enduro-type terrain. The combination of the Michelin Wild Enduro tread, Magi-X DH and the Downhill Shield deliver maximum grip, no matter the terrain. The Michelin Enduro Front Racing Line has been developed to excel on all types of terrain. I was getting wheel flex before sidewall collapse so there’s a good combo of tire pressure and sidewall strength.For those who are looking for winning grip. So I like them, they roll well and handle cornering well. Tires also expanded every so slightly from 50mm to 52mm. Which is what I wanted, good characteristics for a gravel tire. They feel like they have less absolute grip in the center section, I slipped on a root I’ve never slipped on before. Probably going to need to go up a bit in the cold. This seemed about perfect in the 70 degree weather. I ran 30 psi in the rear and 27 psi in the front. First glance and they do appear undersized, right at 2 inches but this may be partially due to the narrow Mavic 317 rims which are only 17.4mm wide on the inside.įirst ride impressions: Tires roll faster than the Forte Tsali/Pisgah I was riding previously. Installation impressions: So far they seem ok. Lateral and radial runout is good, they weigh 600 grams each. So these seemed like they would be a little faster option. Last year I rode Forte Tsali 2.3s which were ok but seemed slow on pavement and smooth gravel. Basically I plan to run these on my gravel hardtail for the 2-3 races I’m participating in this year. I got these tires because they were reasonably cheap ($24.99 from Wiggle), have a mildly aggressive tread that looks like it will roll well on pavement and were reasonably lightweight.
