L.T.G Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Apologies if it was mentioned, quickly skimmed through the posts to check, are any of you guys running tubeless? if so, hassle free?
the nerd Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Apologies if it was mentioned, quickly skimmed through the posts to check, are any of you guys running tubeless? if so, hassle free? Some guys run tubeless but you'll want to run some good quality tyres. what wheels will you be using?
L.T.G Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Some guys run tubeless but you'll want to run some good quality tyres. what wheels will you be using?When I got my Diverge, the first thing I did was change the tyres... if memory serves, I think we used Spez Tracers,(ran them tubeless no issues) but they were catching ever so slightly on the bike, so changed to Schwalbe CX Pro front, CX Comp rear, run great but the rear one keeps popping off, showering me in sealant. put tubes and liners in the afternoon, no popping (yet) It's not the end of the world, but I was just really keen to run tubeless.
Delgado_073 Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 That frame is begging for a disc brake mod... Any ideas on how to do that ? Or v brakes ?
Ryanpmb Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Any ideas on how to do that ? Or v brakes ? Just run the canti's as intended on that frame.
Delgado_073 Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 Ok here goes ! It's done! And today was its first ride .. Awesome ! Waiting for new wheels on order but rides great as is.. Thank you to all for advise and suggestion ! My roadbbike has a rough friend now..

Thank you to all for advise and suggestion ! My roadbbike has a rough friend now.. image.jpg Looks good. My only suggestion would be to run a bigger cassette (looks like you have pretty standard road gearing). A compact crank with a wider than normal cassette just makes those dirt pulls easier...

Ryanpmb Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 Looks like the entrance to Cranford Country Lodge? Nope - on one of my routes in PMB.

Missed the mark IMO. Spez Diverge a better option in this category.

Spez Diverge a better option in this category.Was also wondering why the crank was so big. more of a road bike with disc brakes. But i like the look of the frame.
