Review on Unlock Adventure with the WTB Riddler: Embrace Thrilling Paths and Unparalleled Versatility by Robert Buenconsejo

Revainrating 1 out of 5

This tire is tubeless ONLY. what is not in the product description

It might be an exaggeration to accuse the seller of misleading advertising as the WTB label that the tire comes with doesn't mention it either, but this tire is TCS or tubeless. compatible. But the manufacturer doesn't actually write TCS in the product description. It's on the tire itself, but a bit late when the tire is in your hands. You could say it's a big deal. Well, here's the catch. The original Riddler tire that came on my bike is a clincher compatible tire. One could argue that WTB should have called it something different to distinguish it from the original. does it matter? Oh yeah. It's real hell to install on a non-TCS rim, as I and others have found from reading other reviews. And the first time I went down the hill, the bumps made me think there was something wrong with my brakes. Upon inspection, it was found that the tire was not round. I thought the tire was defective. These can be good tubeless tires. But someone needs to go one step further and include tubeless compatibility in the product description. Maybe I'm a dinosaur and just don't know what TCS is? Maybe the WTB bay boys inhaled too much? I think I'll stick with Continental et al going forward. Good day.
