Thank you so much I bought these rims, and have been having trouble getting my Schwallbe pro one tubeless to seal. I'm going to try again with rim tape. I was under the impression these came tubeless from the factory. That is not the case.
Thanks. Yes, we all have had our troubles with tubeless installations. But I think it is well worth it. Better to spend some time for tubeless mounting at home than having to change a tire somewhere outside during a ride.
@@thenerdymamil8557 I did this as well, but it will not seal at all once I put latex inside the rim. It sealed momentarily without the latex but the latex seems to make sealing impossible
@@dulichion This is really strange- the latex is supposed to make sealing easier. I usually try to get a seal without the sealant. Then I put the sealant in and I usually do not have a problem to get a seal again. Anyway, many have troubles with tubeless setups, and there are a few good youtube videos how to solve the problems.
Thanks for your comment. Actually, I was thinking about changing the shifter-levers to Shimano Claris STI levers. They are also 8 speed, so they should fit, and they would probably be more ergonomic. Or I just upgrade the whole groupset... But, actually the 8speed Microshift setup works amazingly well for me. I just don't like the ergonomics of the brake levers because I have small hands.
@@thenerdymamil8557 if u are upgrading dont go for claris since the microshift on it is already as good as claris in terms on groupset hierarchy. See if the freehub can take 9 or 10 speeds and if yes, then upgrade to sora or tiagra since those will actually be a step up over the current microshift groupset
@@13ballom Yes you are right Claris is an 8 speed groupset just like the groupset that is already on the bike. However, the new Claris STI levers are probably more ergonomic. Anyway, I am not yet sure if I will upgrade or not. Shifting works fine, 2x8 gears are ok, and to the braking I can get used to.
Thank you for the video! Subscribed. Are these wheels still OK? I want to buy the same, but scared with some stories of their freehub failure over time
I should ask Decathlon to give me some discount on my next purchase :D But honestly, I can not imagine they have a big profit margin on this bike. They have probably much more fun selling more expensive ones.
Hello My friend :) amazing videos. I just got the same bike and with help of your video I understand that I can upgrade the bike with gravel tires. Which one do you recomend and where can i buy them? thank you very much for your time.
It seems the original wheel rims are 15C, and the manufacturers recommend tires only up to 32mm. I know there are 32mm gravel tires available e.g. from Schwalbe. The 35mm Schwalbe G One should also fit on the original rim though, but it would have a "bulb shape" and might not perfectly safe under all conditions. I am glad you like my videos- and sorry about the late answer.
Great video !! I have the same bike and just got the same wheelset however the hubs were set up for thru axle, did yours come with the quick release end caps?
Guten tag, Thank you so much for the video, I also have a RC120 (non disc) and I would like to upgrade to a 35mm tyre so I don't need to buy a new gravel bike 😆. Would you recommend which wheel/tyre I should buy? I am complete a newbie on bike so I have no idea which one will fit. Dankeschon
Great video. Exactly what i was looking for. Do you think that there is enough clearance for 38 mm tires? Triban has a gravel version of the RC120 with 38 gravel tires on it and the frame/fork looks exactly the same but i am no too sure if it has been modified...
I'm thinking of buying this bike, never had a road bike only a bmx, and was wondering whats the approximate top speed of it, it looks really promising as an entry level bike, might go to a decathlon store to try it out when it opens
I would love to see a longterm review of these tires. I'm considering them now that my old Schwalbe Range Cruisers are wearing down. I'd love to use them for commuting and for my gravel rides through forest paths around Berlin and Brandenburg. How have they held up? My biggest concern is puncture protection as the streets here in Berlin can be rather rough.
I know the forest paths in Brandenburg very well- I grew up in the Cottbus area :) You can find very good tire reviews at www.bicyclerollingresistance.com/cx-gravel-reviews/schwalbe-g-one-allround My personal experience: I had some small punctures, which were sealed immediately by the sealant. The little knobs probably are amazingly long-lasting.
There is a Hack you can do so you CAN Remove/Install Fully inflated WIDE Tires on Road Bikes. Loosen the 5mm Allen Brake Cable Nuts on Both Brakes so Brake Cables are undone, then Uncrew the Cable Barrel Adjusters up as Far as they will go (so the bottom of Cable Barrel Adjuster is flush with bottom of Brake Arm threading for Barrel Adjuster), THEN adjust you Brakes by tightening Cables back on (So there's 30mm travel at tip of Brake Lever before Brake touches Rim. Make SURE Brake Cables are FULLY Strecthed-in 1st). Then when Removing /Installing Wheels SCREW DOWN Barrel Adjuster all the way in ADDITION to Flipping up Brake Quick Release. You may need to Pull Apart Brake Pads with Both Hands (Fingers) to Open them up a TAD more. With this Hack with 32mm Tires I can remove Wheels on most of my Road Bikes ... with REALLY Compact Short Reach Brakes maybe 28-30mm Tires can be removed. You can Shove the Tires in/out (Gently) if you Insert the Tires thru the Brake Pads at the Ends of the Pads instead of thru the Middle ... with SOLID Brake Pads ONLY ... Be REAL Careful trying that with a Brake Pads that slide into Brake Shoes, or the Brake Pads may Peel/Pop Out! It looks like I have those exact Model Generic Brakes (as on this Triban RC120) on a couple of my Budget Road Bikes, and I can get 35mm Tires inflated to Max Pressure in/out using this Hack but I need to shove the Tires in gently using the technique I described. Even if this Hack Doesn't Work, you Won't need to Completely Deflate your Tires to Remove/Install them. Just Deflate Tires a Tad, which is a Godsend if you are doing Roadside Repairs and you need to pump them back up with a Mini Pump! All you'll need to do is Top Off Tire Inflation instead ... or just ride Home Carefully avoiding Potholes.
Hello @The Nerdy MAMIL : may I have a question about those exact wheels? Breaking surface is black on this movie but on further ones it's silver.

Somebody told me that the original rims are 15C and the manufacturers recommend only up to 32mm. But 35mm should still fit. It will just have a "bulb shape".
Hi there, I'm considering this tire size (35) on my RC120, but I'd rather add some mudguards. Looks like promax RC482 stock calipers are the limiting point more than frame clearance, and larger caliper like Tektro R559 could do the trick. What do you think about it ? Thanks :)
Yes, with wider brakes both 35mm tires and mudguards might fit. Larger caliper brakes are relatively expensive, though. Since I have a decent hybrid bike for bad weather riding, I guess I do not necessarily need mudguard for this bike.
I am glad you love my videos 😊 This wheelset on this bike are relatively inexpensive "Vision Team 30" aluminium wheels. On my other bike I have Zipp 303s carbon wheels.
I really enjoy your video, well explained, and demonstrated. It's on top of my search when I try to find Triban space for 35 tyres (assuming all frames of RC520, RC500, and RC120, typically the same). However, could you please give us info on which size of your (Vision team 30) wheelset to fit with Schwalbe 35mm? And which type of cassette you install on the wheelset? If I take a zoom look into your video, it seems Shimano Claris Cassette isn't it ?
I think the Vision Team 30 wheels have an inner width of 19mm; no problem fitting the 35mm tires. Yes, first I was mounting a 11-28 8 speed Shimano cassette. But now I switched back to the original 11-34 Microshift R8 cassette because I am riding in a mountainous area. Both cassettes work equally well.
@@thenerdymamil8557 Hey thanks for the feedback. what do you think the actual size of schwalbe g-one allround 700x35c tyre? are they really 35 mm wide ? Since I might have a plan to swab to another frame as well. Many thanks !
It is not possible to get the 35mm tires out without letting the air out. The rim brakes are just in the way. No, the wheels of the rim brake version are/were not tubeless ready. Supposedly the wheels of the disk brake version of the RC120 are.
Hallo, ich habe eine Frage, das Triban 120 RC ist momentan echt ein Schnapper bei Decathlon. Momentan 379,99 euro Wenn ich Gravelreifen so wie du montiere, dann habe ich doch auch ein Gravel bike oder? Dein Bike sieht mit den neuen Reifen top aus!
Ich glaube, ein "echtes" Gravel-Bike hat eine etwas andere Rahmen-Geometrie (genau kenne ich mich da auch nicht aus) und Scheiben-Bremsen. Aber die Laufräder des Triban RC 120 sind sehr robust und mit Gravel-Reifen kann man damit wahrscheinlich auch überall dort gut fahren, wo man das mit einem "echten" Gravel Bike kann- mit Ausnahme vielleicht von langen Abfahrten.
Alles klar, ich denke ich werde mir das Triban RC 120 kaufen und mit den Gravel reifen upgraden. Danke für die Rückantwort und weiter so schöne Videos Posten. Freue mich auf weiter Videos von dir. Lg
Triban RC120 und GRVL 120 sind atm ausverkauft (online). Wenn du gravel fahren willst würd ich eher zum Grvl 120 raten. Die Bremskraft des Triban 120 hat mich schon auf der Straße nicht immer überzeugt. Im Gelände hätte ich je nach Anspruch der Strecke und Wetterbedingungen starke bedenken. Desweiteren... wenn du aufrüstet bist du am Ende beinahe beim selben Preis. Also keine Ersparniss.
@@harcor1975 Auf der Decathlon Website, es sagte dass der Unterschied zwischen RC520- und RC520-gravel ja nur in der Groupset (Schaltung etc), dem Laufradsatz (auch mantel) und dem Lenker besteht. Der Rest bleibt gleich. Also, glaube ich gilt es auch für RC120.
Freut mich, dass Dir mein Video gefällt. Mach' doch auch eins, wenn Du Dein Bike umgerüstet hast; interessiert bestimmt viele. Die Shimano STI Levers sind ganz sicher besser als die Original-Levers von Microshift (aber leider auch relativ teuer). Der Claris Kurbelsatz mit dem Tretlager ist wahrscheinlich leichter als der verbaute Tourney Kurbelsatz. Aber die orginal verbauten Umwerfer und die Bremsen sind wahrscheinlich nicht schlechter als die entsprechenden Claris Komponenten, vermute ich. Aber so kannst Du vielleicht die Original Gruppe komplett bei eBay verkaufen und holst einen Teil der Investition wieder rein.

@@harcor1975 Auf der Decathlon Website, es sagte dass der Unterschied zwischen RC520- und RC520-gravel ja nur in der Groupset (Schaltung etc), dem Laufradsatz (auch mantel) und dem Lenker besteht. Der Rest bleibt gleich. Also, glaube ich gilt es auch für RC120.
Schönes Video.
Ich rüste meins (Disc Version) komplett auf Claris um.
Karton mit allen Teilen ist schon da :-)
Freut mich, dass Dir mein Video gefällt.
Mach' doch auch eins, wenn Du Dein Bike umgerüstet hast; interessiert bestimmt viele.
Die Shimano STI Levers sind ganz sicher besser als die Original-Levers von Microshift (aber leider auch relativ teuer).
Der Claris Kurbelsatz mit dem Tretlager ist wahrscheinlich leichter als der verbaute Tourney Kurbelsatz.
Aber die orginal verbauten Umwerfer und die Bremsen sind wahrscheinlich nicht schlechter als die entsprechenden Claris Komponenten, vermute ich.
Aber so kannst Du vielleicht die Original Gruppe komplett bei eBay verkaufen und holst einen Teil der Investition wieder rein.
STI gerade bei Rose für 90€. Geht meiner Meinung noch…
Video wäre nicht verkehrt 🤔
@@bikerunner-ry1ju Ich bin gespannt auf Dein Video!
Danke! Freue mich auch auf das Video! Servus!
Is the Vision Team 30 Wheels even tubeless ready wheels?
I think so.
I do not have any problems with my tubeless setup.
Nice one....
Where did you bought the wheelset and tyres? Thanks!
I don't remember where I bought them, but seems the Vision Team 30 wheelset is still available e.g. here:
www.mantel.com/de/vision-team-30-laufradsatz-rennrad?spec%5B%5D=2599&spec%5B%5D=3329&gclid=CjwKCAjwtJ2FBhAuEiwAIKu19tz7YLv1JpxZgB8yHr3FP92Jp1TMqTHh0ew5IF66ZwZHkYv_94E1LBoCA5MQAvD_BwE
The tires are Schwalbe G One- they are on sale im many stores
Does putting a more agressive tire tread pattern decrease the speed of the bike?
On a smooth road, a slick tire would be the fastest.
So the bigger/more aggressive the pattern, the slower.
Off-road is a different story.
Hi which cassete did you get? HG50-8 ? I can't really find if the spacer is included in those.
Yes hg50-8. But the original MicroShift cassette was also not bad.
You need a 1.85mm spacer vor the 11 speed Hub.
It came with the wheelset.
@@thenerdymamil8557 hey, ich habe die selben Laufräder, woher hast du die Adapter für den Schnellspanner? Bei mir waren leider keine dabei! Deine Videos sind klasse!
@@xfridix wenn ich mich richtig erinnere, waren Schnellspanner bei den Laufrädern dabei, es passten aber auch die alten Schnellspanner
@@thenerdymamil8557 hmm bei mir waren leider keine Adapter für die Schnellspanner dabei, nur verschiedene für Steckachsen, ich schreib mal Vision und den Händler an! Danke fürs so schnelle Antworten!
What width tape did you use, i have these wheels and wish to convert to tubeless.
21mm
@@thenerdymamil8557 Danke
Hi
Can this tires be fit in the original wheels?
Thank you
Yes I think so
Do you think this Hub can take a 7 speed cassette with spacer?
I don't know- why would you want to downgrade from 8 to 7 speed?
@@thenerdymamil8557 it would be an upgrade for me. I'm trying to put these wheels on a vintage that had a 5 speed. Trying to see if I can keep using the chain and derailleurs by going to the minimum of 7 speed.
@@franknhan5207
I understand.
The 8 speed cassette seems to be wider than 7 speed. So you would probably need another spacer.

Have fun with your vintage bike!
Thank you!
Did you change the headset of rc120?
No, I did not
That must be the only thing I did not change 🤣
Так интересно понимать английский не от носителя языка, видео классное, я подписался даже просто для поддержки канала
Спасибо!
Разве заметно, что я не носитель английского языка?! 😂
What size of tyres is it?
What size of this bike? S or M?
Size is S.
I am 165cm tall (or short).
I didn't know my rc120 had sufficient clearance for 35mm!
Yes, that's not a problem.
As I said it is just not as easy to take the wheels out as it is with smaller tires (the pressure has to be reduced to squeeze the tires to get them trough the brake pads).
Thank you for the movie i might do the same!
