Review on NoTubes Flow 29Er Front Wheel by Andy Baker

Revainrating 4 out of 5

This is a great wheel, I use it for aggressive trail riding

This is a great wheel, I use it for aggressive trail riding. Lots of roots and rocks and a few small jumps. As long as it's flawless. He looks strong and light. With the Schwalbe Nobby Nic tire it is easy to mount tubeless with a floor pump. I first tried the wtb Weirwolf tire but it wouldn't mount on the rim. My only complaint is that it claims to be QR, which I take as the default, which appears to be 9mm. But that's not the case. It is configured for a 20mm DH fork with a thru-axle and also comes with adapter bushings for 15mm "Maxle” type axles. Why they couldn't sell it with the included 9mm jacks I don't understand, I would have paid an extra $20 to have them in the box. It was inconvenient to buy them separately. The description made me think it was QR (9mm), 20mm or 15mm. Maybe I misunderstood, but it should still contain 9mm.

Pros
  • Includes yellow rim tape and valves
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
