Wheel & Rim FAQs
| How do I clean a carbon rim? |
Gentle soap-based and bicycle-specific cleaning products usually work well. Do not use harsh chemicals and caustic truck-wash products. Always rinse well with water and dry the wheel/bike after washing. |
| I use a rear-mounted bike carrier - what do I have to think about? |
Rear-mounted carriers are common and a very handy way to carry a bike on a car. However, care must be taken to ensure no parts of the bike, especially carbon fibre parts, are near the exhaust. |
| My tubeless setup is losing pressure. What's up with that? |
Tubeless setups are great and will save you from many flats thanks to the sealing properties of the latex-based sealant we use (Joe's Super Sealant). But they're not faultless. A new tubeless setup needs a bit of time so the sealant can do its thing - for best results, we recommend going out for a ride to let the sealant splash around inside the tyre. |
