Hello Winsty! Thanks for showing a first look/ride with the wheels. Really glad that you like them! That cassette swop looks like it should be illegal, but hey, EXP components are interchangeable. Quick tip to reduce spillage further during tubeless setup: Before removing the syringe, pull back on the plunger to create a little negative pressure. This way, none of the sealant will spurt back out. Have fun and thanks once again. Qing Xiang Founder Ascent Bikes
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to try out these wheels! Frankly I am impressed and having a great time using them so far. Will take note of your tip re preventing spillage when pulling out. Will practice that off the bike as well. 👌🏻
Tubeless tyres and disc brakes play a major role in my enjoyment of cycling. I can’t go back 😂 the comfort and security. I rode clincher in Perth and in Italy. Both times I was thinking about my tubeless tyres
@@thewinsty Thanks for responding. I am planning a trip to Singapore and would like to try this route on 23 July (Sunday). I will map it out as suggested.

You didn't use the cassette tool removal (chain whip etc.) to remove the cassette? Which brand of lock ring tool do you use (the one that has handle)? Thanks
Also helps in case of a puncture if you're running inner tubes. After you identify where the tube was punctured, this provides a convenient reference point to check if there is any remaining debris that may cause a puncture to the new tube. Granted it's not necessary but it looks tidier.

O man, you are cool. I like the way you set up your own tubeless "just like that".
Nice wheel set! Always enjoy your videos n the music 🎶 .. ride safe bro. 👍🏼🙏😄
Thanks man! Ride safe too
Great stuff as usual Winsty🫡🫡🤩💪🏻💪🏻 looking forward to the next one alr 🥳🥳🥳
Thanks for the review! Can you do a comparison against the ARC1100 62s?
great video as always especially during my flight exams!
Enjoy!
Awesome wheels
Surprising that you wouldnt go back from tubeless. Havent tried it personally. Hopefully someday! @ascent bikes looking at you too

@@thewinsty guess it's time for an upgrade soon🤣🤣
Drop by our shop! They're on sale now :)
@@ascentbikes Not in the market for new wheels now🤣🤣Ive heard good things about the polaris though. want to test them out soon!
@@Marco.cycles Welcome! Maybe after you try them you'll be in the market for new wheels. Drop us an email!
Great video. Do you take visitors on a cycling tour that traverses the whole of Singapore (about 125 km)?
Unfortunately I don't! But it should be quite easy to map out on Strava, just pick all the roads around the perimeter

So rich , hopefully can get one of those wheels too !

Hi, you should travel to Chiang Mai, Thailand. There is a big cycling community.
One day I will for sure! Heard a lot about cycling in Chiang Mai
@@thewinsty it is a cycling dreamland
the reach on those MCFK bars are just ridiculous haha
I agree they are hahaha
You didn't use the cassette tool removal (chain whip etc.) to remove the cassette? Which brand of lock ring tool do you use (the one that has handle)? Thanks
For DT Swiss hubs I can just pull it out and directly swap over so it’s more convenient like that 😂 I’m using BBB tools
Bro I thought u were dead it’s been forever since your last video 😢
Like always brother fantastic video keep up the work 😁👍
Only skipped a week man, I’m flattered 😂 thanks for the encouragement as always!
@@thewinsty u know me always sending positive vibes 😁
Those DT ARC1100 are better than what you put.
whats the chain lube you are using?
I use either muc off C3 ceramic or Dynamic Slick Wax
Jenn had 2 servings???😮
Hi bro, very nice vlog. How to join your team
Bro can I ask why need to line the tyre brand on the valve
Just one of those weird conventions in cycling - like sunglasses over the helmet strap, hahaha

do tubeless loses significant air overnight ?
Not really, after 1 week maybe 10psi from 60 to 50 usually so it’s quite good
another great video. The girl sounds American!
Spot on!
Wow Nice Rims must be very Expensive?
It’s on sale $1999 now, grab it while you can
@@thewinsty $2k for a no name brand that's 'on sale'. lol
@@DanTuber why the hate?
@@dldldldldldl No hate just facts. These wheels are not competitive in the market.
Another enjoyable video!
But I cant get over how stretched out you look on your SL7. haha
Strangely I am more comfortable like this than on my previous smaller frame 🤪
@@thewinsty Then I suppose, just roll with it if it works for you. Thanks, buddy! Stay safe!
That look so effortless. I fought my Schwalbe’s Pro One TLE for 3 hours. always Great to see non mechanic DIY videos, especially well edited ones!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Did you see the size of his bicep😁
Same here, at the end I took the wheels and the schwalbe tires to the bike shop and the mechanic did in 5 minutes :D
"1 long stroke right" HAHAHA
That's right
Were you invited to TH-cam Creator Day?
I wasn’t, nope!
