- Presented by @ultraromance; Nathan Swanson, WTB and Andrew Batchelar, Schwalbe Tires.
Tires : There is nothing that can further dictate how and where your bike can ride. But what size? What casing?? What tread and compound??? 650b? What is that??? As the bicycle becomes more technically specific than ever before, how does one make sense of these ever morphing standards and how they apply to every day riding styles? Moderated by bicycle culture attaché, @ultraromance, industry professionals from Schwalbe and WTB dive deep into the most important choice of every build…your tires, obviously.
the audience isn't woke enough appreciate Ronaldo's magical presence, comedic genius, and dizzying intellect. what a shame. in all seriousness this is a quality talk and super informative for mere tire mortals like myself
Great video - romance brings some life to a dead eyed culture for sure
I like that the Schwalbe guy calls out all the marketing nonsense and gives a lotta useful information.
This has to be top 5 expo videos ive seen. Good knowledge in here
Great talk ! Keep it coming PBE !
Very informative, I actually learned quite a bit from this. Thanks Poopi and guests.
masterclass
Bring back Schwalbe guy!
Did it really took 15 minutes before the Schwalbe-Dude finally brings up the metric, normal, and real tiresizing system … ETRTO for the first time?! :D
Ronnie is not getting _tired_ off pointing out his jokes …
Wow, good talk

Ronnie for Pres!

where the rubber meets the road and then some
His name is John Boyd Dunlop.
As far as the tire sealant system and rubberized particles suspended in a fluid if you used flat chips the same size as gunpowder chips or flakes it would seal bigger holes and still be able to go through the bottles and tubes and the stems especially if they're made out of a softer rubberized compound such as latex 1.5mm in size

John Boyd Dunlop, not "Dunlap", for what it's worth
I would have laughed at all those jokes!
Aussies?
Kiwi ;-)

fellow tire fetishist, how lovely
Tells an unfunny joke. Tells everyone it was a funny joke. Tells everyone that they should laugh. Rinse & repeat! How embarrassing.
As far as tubes vs. Tubeless tubes are never going to go away we are going to stay forever there's too many women out there riding they can't do the rim tape thing and all the technical stuff they love to ride but they don't do the mechanic work soccer mom on the weekend the she rides me relies on her husband to do all the work and he doesn't want to do 8 sets of tires or Force that's whatever how many people in the family it's a lot of work for one guy to do to do all those tires specially tubeless that's why I invented tubes in there are going to be you know what I said women can't there's a lot of women out there who don't do the mechanical work there's guys out there won't do the mechanical work and you're leaving out one of the biggest blocks and Riders the kids you can expect a 10 year old or 12 year old kid to rim tape his Rim pouring a bottle of goop he wants to put a tube in put a pump on it pump it up and be gone that mentality of Industries going to tubeless is strictly the mountain bike Community mindset that's strictly for the mountain bike Community the hardcore mountain bike Community it's not the rest of the bicycling community and to me spending 10 minutes taping up a the rim and then put it in some group and then putting the tire on it's not happening I want to shove a tube in it be done in 5 minutes unless
Lame.. very lame
Good thing there’s boys out there who can fix wheels for women...sad to hear you say that brother
Lmao what the fuck is this dude even talking about. I ride rode bikes and I went tubeless because I kept getting pinch flats. Also my mechanic is a lady. Duck off weird old man
You could not be more wrong or ignorant or woefully deficient in the use of punctuation. Not only was your comment offensive and wrong, it was unreadable. Educate yourself and stop being an asshole.
Yeah! We fix lots of flat tires and replace tubes. Literally, thousands every year. I'm sure glad tubes,
(and tubeless tires) aren't going away! They keep the lights on in my shop!! Tires are literal job security! I'm grateful for customers who put their trust in my skill.
That said, I've had very little problems or failures from tubeless tires in 20 some years. Ive used DIY tubeless before Stan's ever existed. I think it's pretty freakin awesome. I get minimal flats with tubular tires as well. They're incredibly fast!
I think tubeless and especially tubulars are best for performance oriented riders who are willing to maintain their own stuff. It's a different system than tubes, requiring a bit more effort and maintenance. To get the most out of either you need to experiment with the set up and tire pressures. You're only going to truly appreciate the technology if you're pushing the limits of traction, riding hard and cornering hard. Once you figure out what works best for your particular usage, there is a marked difference in feel and confidence on the bike.
Tubeless is definately NOT ideal for casual users or those who want to simply 'set and forget'.
Ive taught women how to set up or at least maintain tubeless. I think females are quite capable if they're patient enough and motivated. I've taught children how to set up tubeless, when they're able to pay attention. Children are my favorite bike class students. I teach a free class at work every week. All sorts of different people show up. Ill go out of my way to help folks to become more self sufficient. To avoid walking home or that call of shame. Bicycles are very practical transportation.
Bikes are also incredibly simple machines, certainly not rocket science. I built flight hardware at NASA for a few years.
One of my female colleagues is 61 years young, a couple weeks older than me. She's setting up tubeless just fine and she learned simply by getting her hands dirty. I didn't need to teach her. We both run the shop on Saturdays. We call it 'Silver Saturday'. We both do this as fun. We're both retired from our lifelong careers.
I've also glued, installed and repaired tubulars as a teen, mostly because I'd never consider putting my life or a possible win in the hands of someone else. I also could barely afford my bike as a new bike geek. But I loved my new found freedom to explore. I worked hard at part time jobs to support 'my habit'. I was HOOKED! I had no choice but to learn to DIY.
All my life I've been a DIYer. Ive never paid or asked anyone to fix my bikes. My dad taught me to patch a tire at 8 years old and everything else came natural from reading and learning, especially learning from mistakes! Dad and Grampa both said "learn to fix it or walk!" But they helped me learn. These were real life lessons. Most folks can learn anything regarding simple bicycles IF they put their mind to it.
