Should the dt GRC 1400 come with the lock ring to mount a new brake rotor as mine didn’t (bought from wiggle). I also bought mew rotors from another store and they didn’t come with the lock rings either! Didn’t make sense to me! 🤷🏻♂️
Maybe some upgrades for people on a more modest budget?🤔
🤣Great shout Matt, were looking to shoot a Gravel Hack video with many of them being free or very affordable.
Matt I'm with you lol. I feel like these channels always start at the most expensive
@@chronometa its thencycling industry in a nutshell everything is overpriced
Very good item. Worked very well.
Hi Sam - need some help to select the right gravel tire. I currently have the Bontrager GR2 Team Issue Gravel Tire (700c 40mm) - but get flats all the time (even when i ride on the normal street - 1 week riding - flat - 4 flats on the back tire, 1 flat on the front tire in the last 4 weeks). I got the Tannus Armour Tire Inserts - but that doesnt fix the flat problem. Can you recomment me another gravel tire (high puncture resistance!)? which one has the best quality and prevents flats Vittoria, Continental or WTB or something else? My terrain: Road and also some Offroad (forrest with gravel and fine sand). I would say 60% road, 40% offroad.
That sounds more than annoying. That almost sounds like too much bad luck! Have you checked the inner tube for what sort of punctures you are getting? Pinch flat/snake bites or just from torns ect? I would realllly recommend going tubeless as you'd probaly not even notice any of the 5 punctures. I'd recommed something like a wtb Venure 40mm www.wiggle.co.uk/wtb-venture-tcs-fast-tyre-dual-dnasg2 Tubeless ready, good puncture protection and pretty versatile for your conditions. Hope that helps
When the rear wheel costs more than the bike 🤣
🤣One hella upgrade thats for sure!
I'm looking for some wheel upgrades for.my gravel bike. But wheels confuse the shit out of me lol. Do you need 'gravel specific wheels or will any wheel do? Also can you convert any thru axel wheel into QR as I have a QR fork
haha it can be a bit of a mine feild getting the right wheels. you don't need gravel specific wheels... but they do usually offer a bit more strenght and sometimes a wider shpe to allow for a better tyre profile. You can convert thru axels easily and some wheels actually come with the converters in the box. Hope that helps
@@wiggle thank you. I've never upgraded any previous bime but with the new bike I've ordered ams with how much issue I have had with cheap wheelsets tbat come with bikes as standard I want to upgrade the wheels this time around for something of a higher quality. But it's confusing for some one who doesn't usually look into this stuff as my bike is a QR fork and the wheels I'm looking at are thru axel lol
@@WoodstarForges Upgrading your cheap wheels is the way to go. Best upgrade you can make, If you order via wiggle our customer service team can guide you through the best system that will work with your setup. Let us know how you get on.
Why have you only changed the rear wheel? and you have not given any detailed feedback on riding with the GR1400...
Yeah understand this could have been made with some more detail...hopefully our current and future videos will do the trick
The back wheel almost cost more than my whole bike lmaoo 😂
lolzies it's quite the upgrade isn't it
I dont care how good it looks if i am paying more than 1k in wheels and tires they have to bloody perform
Ahh they'll perform bloody well too 🤙
well now it has mismatched wheels
🤣
So...basically just buy a better bike to start with.
😆 couldn't agree more!
Lmao imagine having a gravel bike
Not sure where you ride…but they can be ideal!
