I’ve got 43 mm Gravelkings on my Mavic Allroads. They were tight to fit, but I’ve done 275 miles on them with no issues. Put a hole in them today that wouldn’t seal, and it honestly took 15 mins to get them back in the rim after fitting a tube. At which point I put a hole in the tube and had to borrow one off the group I was riding with and we started the wrestling match all over again! Mortified - first time riding with that group and over half an hour to repair a puncture!!!
So what tubeless tyres in a 43-50 mm for a Mavic Allroad SL that are easier to fit? If the weather had been naff it would have been awful trying to sort this, and can’t risk similar again!
Ideally tan wall (not critical!) and similar rolling to the Gravel Kings. I will probably put something knobblier on in the next month or so, so winter ideas also welcome.
Cheers
Schwalbe Allrounds have been great for me. More grip than the pattern suggests, last well, great on tarmac and off road. The Mavics are a bit if a bitch with any tyre. Trying Conti Terra Speeds at the mo but they're less supple at the same pressure and I'll go back to the Allrounds when the Conti's die.
Tried the Mavic Allroads and liked them too in 30mm. Fast on the road but only good for moderate off road: canal towpaths and old railway lines etc.
Awful experience with anything WTB.
Tan wall rubber loses air faster due to its construction-looks over practicality!
