Real deal

Within the realm of gravel tires live almost too many options. Deciding where to go, what to select is challenging...

It doesn't need to be. Go with ramblers. It's really that simple. 60 tpi will be a slightly harsher ride, vs 120 tpi. But either are great depending on your needs.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great tire - weigh spec is not correct.

This is a great tire for gravel riding and is perfectly at home with mixed surface (dirt and paved roads). Just purchased a set and was surprised that the 700 X 40mm - EXO/TR Black was listed at 375g per tire. Weighed at receipt and the tire masses were 442 g and 415g. This would not prevent me from purchasing another set in the future.

Thank you for your feedback.

A tire that makes you feel confident

The tires easily, I did it bare-handed. Traction and road feel is good providing for a comfortable and confident experience. I recommend that you be mindful of your clearance if you are moving up from a narrow tire, these are tires have knubs at the edges that were a tight fit for my bike.

Thank you for your feedback.

Won't hold air

I love the way these ride however they will not hold air. I have set up a lot of tubeless tires and never had problems like this. They go so flat over night that the sealant runs out. They have very little resistance to puncture. I am 71 years old and not that hard on things.

Thank you for your feedback.

Delamination may be a problem.

After only about 300 miles my rear Rambler 700X40C Silk Shield developed three large bubbles. I was able to puncture them and continue riding, but they continued to leak sealant. Obviously this is a small sample size and this maybe a one off kind of thing, but it warrants watching.

Thank you for your feedback.

great all around gravel tire!

Over 600 miles already on these and holding up great. They roll hero gravel like a champ with enough tread to grab when the hero turns chunky and loose. When I decide to live a little more rowdy on some single track they are up to the task as well. All in all these are a great all around gravel tire in my book! Tubeless setup was so easy I was able to seat them with a floor pump by hand!

Thank you for your feedback.

Bad sidewall details

Very bad esthetically the black is painted up the sidewall in several spots and looks extremely unprofessional. I don't own a wallmart bike and if I did this would suit it. Totally unacceptable, should of never passed qc.

Exactly What Its Supposed To Be

Looking for a tire to do the TAT across Arkansas. I've found it. Just yhe right mix of toughness and roll. The silkshield does not make the tire too stiff. May need 3 hands to mount it, but very much worth the effort. Will buy again.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great , lite fast rolling tire

I purchased a set of these in June of 99 for my Lynskey gravel build They roll great and grip well in all but the roughest conditions They were a little fragile so when I started to get frequent leaks ( I'm running tubeless ) on the rear I replaced it with a slightly heavier silk shield version So far I am happy I did Holds air better and no leaks so far

Makes my gravel bike glide down dirt trails

My WTB tires that came with my Cannondale were horrible. They lost air and I had to repair holes in my tubeless tires twice! The Rambler is rugged and holds air sturdy up and down San Gabriel Mountain trails. I ride up 10% grade paved roads for few miles before the dirt and no issues with the knobby tires. A big part of my Topstone bike is that I feel solid on any surface

Bought 2 - neither are good

Both of these tires are seated properly but do not run smoothly. They are just flawed. Other than visually this doesn't seem to negatively affect the ride. I like the weight, tread and the tire in general except this.

Thank you for your feedback.

Wore out quickly

Rode these for about 900 miles, mostly on road, and got a pretty good bulge after a pretty light gravel session. I ran them tubeless for that time and loved them up until that point. For gravel tires I expected them to last a little longer as the centerline of the tire has some significant wear.

Thank you for your feedback.

Excellent all around tire

Very nicely constructed tire. Light weight , wears well, and rolls very quickly on smooth roads. The knobs and 45mm are very confidence inspiring on the rough stuff. I'm on my 2nd pair I like them so much

Great gravel tire

I got these in the silk shield 45mm for my Diverge. They're awesome tires for a mixed surface ride. Definitely plenty of rolling resistance, so don't expect to set any PR's on your road segments. Plenty of grip on gravel and light single track to have a little fun.

Thank you for your feedback.

supple ride, a bit fragile

I really like these tires off-road. They connect well. I run them tubeless. Unfortunately I have had several flats requiring a boot and tube. I am very disappointed they are not more durable. The seem to puncture easily.

Great Tire for Gravelling, not for deep sand!

Great compromise tire for hard pack, gravel, pavement, single track. Experimented with tire by replacing my 29 x 2.25" with these (about 1.8"). Obviously they're lacking in deep sand. Good tires!

Early Review Good Tire

I replaced a set of Donnelley 36 mm with these in a 38.The volume difference is noticeable. Today I rode a mixed-surface road to get an idea of how these tires performed. With 50 inflation, they did well on hard-packed dirt, loose gravel, and gravel with random golf-ball size rocks. The real test was the sections of the road that had been repaired with large-walnut size-rock. This was several inches deep, so the surface was very insecure. Although the tires weren't made for this kind of riding they gave reasonably good controlk and got me through. So far, I'm pleased with these tires, they feel safe and secure on rough road surfaces.

Thank you for your feedback.
