I think if I didnt have my Faran this would have gone straight to the top of the list. Pretty similar to the Fearless Warlock I think which I looked at pretty closely. If you live somewhere that your main bike is a decent travel full suss I can see this making the perfect 2nd bike to do everything else (although the idea of not having a hardtail feels weird).
Is there a suitable 29″ gravel tyre for 70% road 30% b-way?
I've used these and had no issues, still have them so will use them again for the Cascade during the summer months. Vittoria tyres
Also Schwalbe have a load of variations of the G-One that are worth a look.
@ElShalimo The 2.4" WTB Rangers we have as an option roll surprisingly well on roads and still work nicely on dirt so long as it isn't super muddy.
I’m not sure if WTB make them any more but I’ve got a set of Nine Lines 2.25’s in 29er mode on my monster cross which are great and very fast rolling on tarmac. Pressures matter of course.
I do like the look of these. I’ve got a question, deep from the mists of time, when wheels were wheels and they dropped out when you flicked the lever.
I’ve got a set of wheels with DT Swiss hubs currently set up as qr, but have been known to have a thru-axle in their history. I take it these wouldn’t fit in the frame, even with an adapter?
Cheers.
If they're not boost (and it sounds like they're not) then you probably just need end caps for those hubs.
Edit, my bad, the Cascade is a boost frame and fork, so would need boost adapters, but those are readily available for most DT hubs
@root-n-5th Wolf Tooth Boostinator is what you need for DT hubs. Saddleback in the UK stock them.
Many thanks. I’ll look into it.
my review if anyone fancies a read/look
