I have a PW-X3 on my Haibike and it’s really smooth with no extra noise. Does changing gear make a difference?

Happy to report that both wheels are performing well, took the short 3 mile ride to One Planet at Llandegla this morning and had a blast around one of the trails. No issues :)

Looks like it’s sorted now, the tyre deflated after 20mins so I left it for a couple of hours. Pumped up back up to 25psi and gave it a good shake. Woke up this morning and it’s still at 25psi. I’ll get the wheel back on and go for a check ride :)

Any suggestions with this or should I just take the wheel back to the LBS and see what they say? I’m just a bit concerned the rim is compromised or have I just made a mess of the conversion, bike has only done 143 miles from new. :(

Front wheel when well but the back is now causing issues. seated the beads no problem but I heard the sound of escaping air. Looks to me that the join on the rim is not quite right as this is the area that it’s leaking. Is it my install? Or is the rim chuffed, I noticed that the i30 sticker...

First wheel done, a bit of a faff to get the tape on and I have a few bubbles in it where it overlaps, tried some hot air from the Mrs hairdryer but I couldn’t remove them all. No issue reseating the beads but struggled getting the tyre inflated with my compressor setup, The gauge has stuck for...

So tyre is off the rim and I‘ve hit a wall. Front tyre has a green band rather than a thin red band that WTB recommend leaving in, it’s from one side to the other side of the rim and looking at it I would suggest it won’t take tape well. It’s got a slight texture to it so do I leave it in a...

I popped onto the WTB website and found my rims (i30). On my rims they suggest 35mm tape so that’s what I went with. (y) Find the Rim tape on the website and use the drop-down to find the rim and it tells you. Good if you have WTB rims and very handy.

I bought the 35mm rim tape - Phew :). My rims on the WTB label stated they were 30mm wide so I did the right thing in getting the large width tape. That’s a first for me ! Looking at converting them tomorrow after work, quick question - I do have a compressor but will a 16g Co2 blast be enough...

Thanks for the help chaps, Rim Tape arrived today so I have everything needed now.

Peaty’s 35mm Rim tape ordered, I’m hoping it’s a relatively easy task to do, it’s been quite a few years since I played with bikes. Tubeless wasn’t even a thing when I last hopped on a bike;)

Cheers for the reply (y) So the TCS label really means “ Fitted for - but not with “ :)

So chaps, 1 month into my EMTB ownership and I have a couple of punctures, first one was the delivery ride from the bike shop to home (22 miles). Managed to make it 17 miles before the first puncture and I suspect it punctured by another biker who sheltered under the same bridge during a heavy...

Evening all, Pulled the pin tonight and joined up, been lurking for a while and as the Mrs and I bought two brand new shiny E-bikes thought it best for an intro. Live just outside of Wrexham so we have access to some very nice countryside which we intend to explore quite a bit. The whole...
