I picked mine up last week so I don't have much experience on it yet.
It's also my fist 36'er so I can't really compare it to anything apart
from a few short rides on other people's 36'ers.
The tyre seems to roll easier than the TA, I think the Nightrider has a
higher pressure. I'm running 65 psi in the Nightrider, I don't think
the TA is supposed to be pumped up that high.
Turning is getting easier but I would put that down to experience more
than a lighter rim or wheel. I can ride it through deep gravel without
getting bogged and have managed to get it to slide sideways on sharp
corners on gravel. I was trying to find the limits of traction so if I
took a more sensible approach to the corner it would of been ok.
Riding up steep sections of gravel is not a problem, I think my legs
would run out of strength before losing traction.
I haven't really taken it off road yet, I'm still getting used to the
big wheel. Mainly sealed and gravel bike paths along with a bit of
road riding.
The seat is fairly comfortable although the longest ride I've done so
far is only 65kms.
The only fault I have found so far is the paint job is a little
fragile.
In summary I would just like to say: 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
