I think that you set your brakes too narrow.!

Witch pads should I get when the supplied pads wear out? The black pads supplied brake real good, but I dont know where to get them?
Any suggestions?

Which FarSports wheels/rims are these? I've been told SwissStop Black Prince is the way to go, but it seems that's no longer the case?

Your Farsports wheels came with a manual? Mine didn't come with anything but the wheels. That's interesting.

Got it, thanks. So their brake track is "basalt brake surface", not the grooved AC3-like ones?

Hey all, I'm slowly coming to a decision about getting some Farsports mid-depth tubeless wheels.

I have a question about the colours.

Some of the UD Matte finishes look grey, but there's a few gloss black looking wheels too. I don't think they're marble... is it another colour? The gloss black would be a preference for me.

Update, bought the 35mm Kaze in Gloss Black.

Look great, and weigh 1270g, very happy with that!

Looks like they've done their homework with rim profile.... my 19mm internal/26mm rim puts my well used GP 5k TL at 25.7 - 25.9mm.

Hi
Is it just me or are there others which have problems mounting tires on Kaze rims
Mounting isnt the problem,its more to get the tire on the rim with air pressure
No chance with a small air-pump if you have a flat in training,it needs 7 bar
Also demontage is horrible
Its because the rim is tubeless design,i ride it with normal clincher tires and tubes
