I thought the G-one went on easily enough but the Trigger went on even easier. Just minutes and no leaks whatsoever with soapy water test. At 50 psi measures 36.5mm on a 17mm i.d. rim, about 2mm narrower than the 700X40c Schwalbe.

The one tire that I've installed that was actually tubeless ready went pretty easily but I wouldn't have wanted to do it without an air compressor. Trigger pro just delivered, hopefully it will go on just as well.

These new posts got me going on my Qiroll again. Installed (again) with a gate spring which works pretty well. Nice day I'll try riding up my road. Triple chainring allows very low gearing, as low as 22-40.

Here's a picture of the 60 grit sanding belt. Has some debris stuck in it but not worn. I've used a small wire brush before to clean out dried debris build up.

Why not try the friction sticker that Qiroll provides and see how it works for you, maybe you'll have a different experience and it's easy to change anyway. I didn't come up with the sanding belt idea, I saw that the Gboost friction drive appears to use it, you can check their web site. It...

3dxl is definitely the authority and has way more experience with Qiroll than me so take this with a grain of salt: For me, using a 60 grit sanding belt worked much better than anti-slip tread tape of which I tried a few brands including Gorilla, 3M safety walk and a no name product sourced...

I did but they have a $15 shipping charge making it a $76 tire including tax while the Trigger Pro has great reviews, specs that would indicate better puncture resistance and a tread pattern that looks good to me, for $30 less - normally same price as the Pathfinder Pro but currently at reduced...

Since I couldn't find the Pathfinder Pro locally or on Amazon I ordered a Ebay Trigger Pro. I would have preferred 42c but only available size 38x700. Looks to have smaller knobs on the center strip. 60tpi and a belt which might offer better puncture resistance.

Thanks for giving your insight. Unfortunately the bike shop is closed today and their web site shows only the Pathfinder Sport which won't work for me. I'm liking the tread pattern for the Pathfinder Pro. I'll check Amazon.

Partly off topic Q. I need a tubeless tire to replace Schwalbe G-one (raceguard performance) for the rear wheel. I see the Pathfinder Pro is a 120tpi tire, how is it for puncture resistance? A local shop has the sport version in stock, I assume not tubeless and maybe not as good a tire given...

Schwalbe customer service did get back to me and cleared up the situation. The older G-One wasn't tubeless compatible but the warranty replacement from a couple years ago is and marked TLE. Just got around to mounting the TLE tire and it went pretty well although I don't see how it could be...

Don't know, just guessing that they felt it might have presented a legal liability if someone unintentionally activated assist resulting in property damage or injury to themselves or others. Very disappointing indeed. People have hacked the battery to controller communication data allowing...

I contemplated buying a Wabash which is in stock locally, mainly because it has walk assist, which BH in its wisdom had disabled on my Gravel X. The Gravel X has PW-SE which looks to be the same as the PW-ST on the discounted Wabash excepting the auto assist mode and a functioning walk assist...

It looks like the Yamaha drive units have been updated thus the clearance sale of old bikes. The new Wabash has a PW-S2 drive (instead of PW-ST) which is over a pound lighter, smaller, 75nm instead of 70nm, and has ISIS axle instead of square taper.

For credibility you should have posted your questions, not just quote the answers. - Battery range is "up to" 45 miles I'd expect to be estimate range at the lowest levels of assist on flat terrain. Their reply that "You should plan for the battery to last 15-25 miles" might be their estimate...

Unless Schwalbe comes through (for which I'm not holding my breath) with a replacement G-one that has sidewalls which can actually hold air and sealant I'm going to replace them with Continental Doublefighters that I currently have on another unused bike along with my Mr Tuffy liners and Orange...

I might end up going that way but with Orange seal in the G-one tubes and Flatout in the Billy Bonker tubes, because that is what I have/will have. I'm curious what response I get from Schwalbe, they replaced a defective G-one for me a couple years ago but that was within the 2 year warranty (I...

I did order the off road version of quick strike so hopefully that will be OK. I'll try tubeless it on my 26" bike with Billy Bonkers, hopefully better experience than with Orange Seal and the tubeless ready G-one tires. Update on the Scwhalbe G-one allround RG. Tried tubeless with one of them...

So I ordered some of the quick strike formula because local Home Depot didn't stock it. My plan for the Billy Bonkers 26x2.1 (not 2.4) which might change, is to try to test one wheel tubeless with flatout and see if the tire holds air. Those tires are fit very tight on the rims and are very...
