Yeah. I looked at manuals and took it apart. Couldn't figure it out. Just added a dab of glue

The SL 1 makes a pretty good flat-bar gravel bike. Good discussion of gravel tire options and trade-offs.
My recent SL 1 makeover was mainly to get a better-for-purpose tubeless rear gravel tire (a 40 mm Tracer) than the existing semi-slick 38 mm Pathfinder Pro.
40 mm Tracer with low center lugs.
38 mm Pathfinder with center slicks.
Not pretending that the Tracer's the best possible tire for me, but definitely a big improvement in rear traction and a noticeable bump in comfort. No obvious hit in pavement rolling resistance, just a little more tire noise at speed.
