That's funny I Had a tarmac disc with QR and took the wheels out 1000s of times to throw it in the car and never had an issue.

Really liking that Norco.
Almost exactly my three wheel sets for my Exploro!Finx wrote:Norco Search XR. Ultegra Di2
650b x 2.1" MTB tires for muddy off road
650b x 47mm WTB ByWays for Road Plus
700c x 38mm gravel Kings for fast gravel
Standard road wheels/tires for road rides
650b with 47mm ByWays
700c with 38mm Gravel King Sks
700c with 26mm Bontrager R3s
And I could easily borrow my wife’s 650b non boost wheelset off her Santa Cruz 5010 if I really wanted to rough it.
The really tricky part is to come up with a wheelset you can just leave on for 95% of your riding.
What's the max tire you can run? Nice bike!
Parlee says 40.. honestly there is room for 42..maybe 45 in 700c.Marin wrote:What's the max tire you can run? Nice bike!

I think the Crr of the tires is killing me.. Schwalbe G-one speed @ 30c. New 20 minute power today and I was literally multiple minutes behind my PR. On a fast group ride I'd have to wreck myself to keep up..I'm seriously averaging 25w more now to stay level.
I'm going to stick in the 26c Turbo Cottons before my next adventure and do a local climb I've done tons.

We've got 6 bikes with QRs and discs, same experience. Wheels in and out all the time.Nefarious86 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 29, 2018 2:00 amThat's funny I Had a tarmac disc with QR and took the wheels out 1000s of times to throw it in the car and never had an issue.
TBH I've had more alignment issues with the through axle on my new MTB. Just getting the bloody axle to align blind.
