I ordered a pair direct from Maxxis. Going to mount them on my 29ner Stans Valor wheels. The same ones You reviewed couple years back. Will see how that goes for a Levee gravel event coming up this late summer in broward. 👍🏻
I really like these tires, 700x45C on a Giant Revolt 2. They are very compliant and have excellent grip and cornering. The issue that I am having is durability. I have had a few punctures in conditions that I wouldn't have expected. Lately a bubble has developed in the tread on the rear tire. Only have about 1,000 miles on it, 60% rails to trails and 40% road.
Hi, thanks for your feedback. I am about to purchase one pair of Rambler but I am hesitating between 40c and 45c version. What do you think about the rolling resistance ? Do you think the gap will be important between the two ? Cheers
@@lofm3992 the resistance between 40c and 45c won't be too noticable in a gravel application, but on pavement it will feel a tad slower. I preferred the extra compliance of a wider tire since I ride on a lot of loose stuff. You'll need to check clearance on your specific bike, but on my Giant Revolt 2 I have no problems with a 45c but cannot go any larger. I'd go wider if you can. Happy trails!
Clint, nice video, as always! I live in Siberia and the snow melt just a couple weeks ago, I'm really happy to start a new season and your videos helped me a lot, thank you!
New to your channel and gravel biking but I have a question...whats the difference between 700×38 vs 700×40 or 43 tires...I have a giant toughroad slr 3
You're not going to notice too much for difference between those Tire widths. If you go down to like a 32 then you really start to notice a difference. The smaller Tire will feel more harsh and less capable in sand.
Hi! How this one roll on pavement compared to WTB Riddler? I have read on forums this one is last longer (the WTB tire wear extremely fast in my opinion) but a bit slower...
I honestly don't notice hardly any rolling resistance. I think this is because the knobs are very close together. On gravel this is a very smooth tire.
Hey Clint, Im about to get my first cyclecross bike, and I was recommended to get a lighter wheelset along with the bike. My friend recommended the Stan's Notubes Grail. I noticed you use them and was wondering if you would make a review on the wheels. Thanks for all the awesome videos! Frederic Feickert
+Frederic Feickert The Grails are good if you think you may want to run a higher pressure road tire. If you don't think you're going to go over about 45 PSI then I would go with the Iron Cross. They are a bit lighter. Plus the Grail Wheels tend to be a bit more prone to bending if you had something really hard.
Hi Clint. You've mentioned a hard tail 29er. I am looking to fit a 50C to my 29er MTB 25mm inner rim. I just want to know if 700 and 29er rims fits perfect for Rambler?
+Jackson Lui I've never had to change the rotors unless I bend one. Perhaps after lots and lots of miles especially if you ride and steeper terrain you may have to change them but it's not going to be very often.
+Clint Gibbs I use ice tech rotors which are typically 2mm thick. markings on the rotors indicate a min thickness of 1.5mm at which time it is suppose to be replaced. something about exposing the material underneath.
Hi Clint do you think I'd be able to make my Giant carbon wheels on the Trance tubeless with a co2 cannister or should I try and get a air compressor ?
+skt4271 unless you plan to venture onto some single track then I would probably go with the Schwalbe G1 tires for that much pavement. Or if the 20% off pavement is smooth gravel than you could go with a standard Road tire that's maybe 28c.
@@warpampee when I run these tires tubeless I run about 23 in the front and 25 in the back. If I were going to be in the mountains where I'm going faster I would probably add about 3 to 5 psi. If I were running tubes I would also add about 3 to 5 psi.
+cook7772 I always carry a tube, tire levers and a pump when I ride. But I can't remember the last time I got a flat on my cross or gravel bike with tubeless.
Clint love your videos but just can't watch the length of your videos. I do love all the information but think if cut videos like this one down to 5 minutes would be more friendly to the veiwer. Watching a video for 15 minutes about mounting tires is just too long. That is why I know skip past many of your videos when they upload or just skip thru the videos by 2 minute segments. I do really like your channel but for the average veiwer like me the videos are to long and information is repeated. Keep them coming but this is the first video I've partly watched in a while.
+Jonathan Kaany my style is to make more descriptive videos, so that's kind of become my niche. There are lots of videos out there on TH-cam that just hit highlights for a couple of minutes for those that are interested. I tend to review higher end bikes and components. I believe that most people that invest 3 - $6,000 on a bike would want to at least invest 15 to 30 minutes watching review. Regardless, I do appreciate your feedback and will consider doing more time-friendly videos.

Yay! Remove the valve core! Great tip! Frustated me for hours with this same tire/wheel combination. Worked like a charm Big thanks!

@@pyromonster99 thanks your answer, i have à Trek Checkpoint SL and the clearance allows 45c maximum. So it should work

Just got my gravel bike . I'm getting these tyres for sure
Cool review...I am now subscribed!!! Keep it up Sir.
Clint can you make a video about pros and cons on different tyres sizes both for road and cyclocross/gravel bike
Clement does make the MSO tubeless ready version 700x36
+Hansthehorrible yep, they are out now but weren't available back when I got the tube versions.
New to your channel and gravel biking but I have a question...whats the difference between 700×38 vs 700×40 or 43 tires...I have a giant toughroad slr 3

Hi Clint, did you measure the tire's actual width? Is it a true 40mm, or is it wider/narrower than that? Thanks.
Hi I have same rims and the same question. What is the real width? Thanks
Hi! How this one roll on pavement compared to WTB Riddler? I have read on forums this one is last longer (the WTB tire wear extremely fast in my opinion) but a bit slower...
how much does the rambler affect your average speed on tarmac/pavement compare to a slick tire same size?
I honestly don't notice hardly any rolling resistance. I think this is because the knobs are very close together. On gravel this is a very smooth tire.
@@ClintGibbs thanks. I guess i've made my decision then. This will be my all-terrain tire.

so you had non tubeless clements with a wirebead mounted tubeless ? if so lemme know i was thinking to do mine the same.
Yes. They did not work well with those rims.
Clint Gibbs I have tubeless ready alex xc23 rims
Thanks the information and could you please make a video on 'How to protect bikes from scratches'.
Thanks Clint 👍👍👍
Hi Clint. You've mentioned a hard tail 29er. I am looking to fit a 50C to my 29er MTB 25mm inner rim. I just want to know if 700 and 29er rims fits perfect for Rambler?
Yes, usually a 700C tire will fit a 29er rim.
Mine brand new leak through the sidewalls. Frustrating. They leak from the the little rubber nipples on the sidewalls from manufacturing.
off topic. was wondering when you change rotors
+Jackson Lui I've never had to change the rotors unless I bend one. Perhaps after lots and lots of miles especially if you ride and steeper terrain you may have to change them but it's not going to be very often.
+Clint Gibbs

Hi Clint do you think I'd be able to make my Giant carbon wheels on the Trance tubeless with a co2 cannister or should I try and get a air compressor ?
+Stewart Summerside CO2 actually works better than an air compressor to get the initial bead to seat.
Are you going to be putting the G-Ones back on the RLT or looking for something else there still?
+Shelby Powell the G-Ones are back on the RLT and will stay there until they wear out. Then I'll decide whether I go with Ramblers or G-Ones again.
Have you tried out the WTB Byways? Do you think those side knobs would make a difference?
Have not ridden those yet
The mso is better than anything else, it will tubeless no prob on lot's of rims, great for everything even mud
Would you recommend these for 80% pavement riding? Or would it be a waste?
+skt4271 unless you plan to venture onto some single track then I would probably go with the Schwalbe G1 tires for that much pavement. Or if the 20% off pavement is smooth gravel than you could go with a standard Road tire that's maybe 28c.
Do gravel riders do front and rear tire combos like mountain bikers do, or not necessary.
Not really a thing in gravel riding from what I've observed.
2:25 What bike is that? That has clearance for days!
+sabamacx Niner RLT 9 Steel
What does the 40 c at the back mean ? 40mm?
Do you ride Panaracer Gravelking SK ??
Not yet but I hear so many good things about it I'm sure I'll try it sooner or later.
Can I use inner tube with this one?
Yes. You can use an inner tube with any tubeless tire.
@@ClintGibbs Thanks!
@@ClintGibbs do you have like recommended PSI?
@@warpampee when I run these tires tubeless I run about 23 in the front and 25 in the back. If I were going to be in the mountains where I'm going faster I would probably add about 3 to 5 psi. If I were running tubes I would also add about 3 to 5 psi.
Rims 29?
Yes, 700c rims are pretty much the same diameter as 29 rims.
You don't worry about getting stuck somewhere with a flat?
+cook7772 I always carry a tube, tire levers and a pump when I ride. But I can't remember the last time I got a flat on my cross or gravel bike with tubeless.
+Clint Gibbs I thought it be too messy to do that. Looks like I need read up more on them. Thank you.
