There’s a nice price discount for the Roval Terra CLX EVO. Very tempting to me for my new gravel “adventure” build. The wheelset comes with 30mm internal and weights 1350g.
I’m planning to run 44mm tires. This will allow me to run about 1.5 psi lower pressure, and will have more tire surface surface. The alternative for me would be Berd wheels, which get the improved compliance with their spoke system.
Wonder what people experiences and thoughts are with this set up.
I have the RH 44 Snoqualmie Pass EL Tyres on GVX25 Berd wheels and love this combo for allroad and light gravel riding. I personally don’t see any benefit in going wider rims if you don’t plan on running 2.2“ tyres on the same bike/wheelset as well. I tried the RH Fleecer Ridge on 28mm id rims and they get too squared for my liking. Besides, they wouldn’t seat tubeless wheras with 25mm id it wasn’t a problem. Might have been the rim not the inner width tough. My 2 cents
Hard to say whether it’s the supple tyres, the low pressure, the wheels or the steel frame. They are crazy light though. Both the wheels and the tyres. I‘d buy them again if I had to decide anew.
Kinda off topic but when I read this I thought you were incorrect here because I just got a pair of CL’s that are listed as having a 25mm internal width but also, in Specialized’s words… the new Terra CL utilizes the same super light, incredibly tough rim as our flagship wheel.
And when you look at the specs for the CL it shows… Rim: Terra CLX Carbon Clincher
Guess I should have measured my wheels before I threw tires on them. Not sure whats going on here
EDIT, I missed that they are CLX “EVO”, not normal ones, 'doh
