Creado: 9 de enero de 2025El revisor menciona que actualmente está utilizando neumáticos Schwalbe G-One Allround de 40 mm en su bicicleta de gravel. Señala que hay mucho espacio tanto en la horquilla como en los tirantes traseros del asiento, lo que sugiere que el cuadro podría acomodar neumáticos más grandes de hasta 45 mm o incluso 50 mm si se desea. Los neumáticos son parte de una configuración sin cámara a la que el revisor volvió después de tener problemas con las cámaras internas de TPU.
Resumen IA
Pros
- El buen espacio para los neumáticos permite un posible aumento de tamaño a neumáticos de 45 mm o 50 mm
- Parte de una configuración sin cámara funcional

Creado: 2 de febrero de 2025El revisor discute su experiencia con las cámaras internas RideNow TPU, que inicialmente quería que le gustaran debido a su tamaño pequeño, asequibilidad y naturaleza ligera. Sin embargo, encontró problemas de rendimiento, con ambas cámaras desarrollando fugas lentas después de distancias relativamente cortas (200 km para la primera y 300 km para la segunda). Esto lo llevó a abandonar las cámaras en favor de configuraciones sin cámara.
Resumen IA
Pros
- Tamaño pequeño
- Relativamente asequible
- Ligero
Cons
- Desarrollaron fugas lentas después de 200 km y 300 km respectivamente
- El rendimiento fue menos que ideal
