    Hope you're enjoying the wheels! I also have the 51s, bought mine last summer. Drove 5 hours to get my hands on a set. Love them- instant love. I couldn't believe how quiet they were on my first ride out- just the hum of the tire. Converted them to tubeless for this riding season with the Bontrager R3 and upgraded to the 36T ratchet. The lower pressure soaks up all the imperfections in the road and gives you a buttery smooth ride.

      The GP5000 is such a good tire!

      @RobbArmstrong1  2 года назад

      YES!! I have some new tires that will be here this week. Once I get them installed I’ll do a follow-up video and talk ride/road feedback. My wheel build has the 54T 🙂though, Vs. the 36T ratchet.

    Excellent review. I have a question though regarding the ratchets in the rsl series if you know anything about those ones? Would I need to upgrade the ratchets in those so the wheel would catch quicker?

    • @RobbArmstrong1
      @RobbArmstrong1  2 года назад

      Do you know what kind of hub it has? If it’s a DT Swiss I believe the stock ratchet is 18T. The 18T has 20% of play before engagement.
