Got a "cheap" $200 front wheel for winter. New DT Swiss Gravel 1800. Dang, with that 24mm internal width, my tires really plump up. Perfect for tires around 40mm.

I use it on Gortex jackets (per manufacturer recommendations). Its a 3 layer gortex, so the jacket can get saturated without it. With it, water just beads off of the jacket. Anything that makes it...

I have had some Maxxis ramblers on for about a year. I think they are wonderful. Fast and light, I couldn't ask for more. I do some hard road rides (running in a fast paceline), and they do well. ...
