Product Information

You’ll want to increase pressure in narrower (and therefore lower volume) tires as a mean of providing additional support, while lowering the pressure in wider (and therefore higher volume) tires will provide more traction without losing cornering support. Placing sealant on both sides of the tire bead can aid in installation by serving as a lubricant between the rim and tire interface. When installing tires on ASYMMETRICAL rims, it is helpful to always mount the tire onto the rim on the "short side" of the rim. By that, we mean the side of the rim with the shortest distance from the rim leg/bead to the valley of the rim where the valve sits. Ideal compound for use as a rear tire, although often used on the front on XC and gravel bikes where efficiency is of utmost importance. SAVE Micro-Suspension: Delivers a smoother, more controlled ride thanks to strategically engineered flex zones built into the frame's rear triangle.

Often used front and rear by cross-country racers who prioritize minimal rolling resistance with the tradeoff of having less traction up front.

For example, our Exposure 30 tire has a tire section width of 30mm on a 19mm inner rim width, however it has a tire section width of 32mm on a 23mm inner rim width. WTB recommends using tape that is 5mm wider than your inner rim width. Most of our rims will have the inner rim width listed in the name (i.e. Frequency i23 uses 28mm TCS Tape). Can your Road Plus or Mountain Plus tires fit in my frame? Make sure tire bead is sitting in the deepest part of the rim profile. This is often referred to as the “valley” of the rim. Narrower rims will cause a tire to also have a narrower width, with less air volume within the tire, and a rounder tire tread profile than designed for.

Suggested for front and rear use for gravel riding where efficiency and durability are increasingly important. Wider rims will cause a tire to also have a wider width, with more air volume within the tire and a flatter tire tread profile than designed for.

High volume gravel tires, like the Venture 50, tend to perform best at around 30-35 psi. In that pressure range, it provides support and efficiency, without giving up comfort or traction. Too high of pressures will provide a jarring ride, which will cause unnecessary fatigue and discomfort. Of course Venture 50 is the biggest gravel tire we make and a narrower tire would require more pressure. For example, a 40mm-width gravel tire will likely perform best around 40-45 psi.

TCS stands for Tubeless Compatible System, which has proven itself as the most reliable and robust tubeless system available. Loss of substantial tire pressure over a few days is likely indicative of ineffective/old tire sealant or air seeping through the tire sidewall. In these rare cases, we suggest removing the complete tire and wheel system from the bike, adding the proper amount of fresh sealant, then shaking the tire to ensure sealant has covered the entirety of the sidewall. Simply spinning the tire on the bike will only push the majority of the sealant more towards the tread region of the tire, where air loss is less common. Slightly firmer knobs hold their shape and don’t transfer their energy to the trail as much as softer knob does. Avoid using tire levers during installation. Doing so can damage the tubeless tape and prevent an airtight tubeless system.No. Comp and Race type tires are only made for use with inner tubes. Do not attempt to set up Comp or Race tires tubeless. If you want to run a tubeless set up, you need the Tubeless Compatible System (TCS) version of the tires. Which length TCS valve stem should I use? Longer-wearing rubber designed to maximize the rolling efficiency of a tire without sacrificing traction.

If your tubeless tires are losing substantial pressure within a few minutes or hours, you’re likely dealing with damaged tubeless tape or a loose tubeless valve stem. Take all of these with a few grains of salt and adjust to your riding style, the terrain you ride, and your weight. Being careful to avoid damaging the tubeless tape, use a tire lever right next to the valve stem and pull the tire bead over the rim wall. If the tire bead is tight against the rim, you can slide the tire lever along the rim surface to free a large length of the tire bead from the rim. StraightShot Internal Cable Routing: For an integrated look and easy maintenance, the shift and dropper post cables route cleanly through the StraightShot window in the down tube, while the rear brake line is secured outside the frame.As a general rule of thumb, a 2mm increase or decrease of inner rim width will result in a tire section width increase or decrease of 1mm. When we a design tire, we do so around a specific inner rim width that is most applicable and commonly used in conjunction with the tire width. This is also the combination in which we determine and name the width of the tire. However, that combination may not reflect the rim width you have on your bike or are now looking to upgrade your bike with.
