  1. I ordered the new Nimbus 36 Pro with new rim and nightrider tire.

    Not sure how long till I receive it.

    Anyone received a new one yet and want to post a review?

  2. 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: 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

    Don't worry about your jewels. Once they've been worn away by the

  10. The cranks are 152mm, they came with the uni. I taped up the rear of
    the handle to stop it getting scratched every time I park it.

    I put the light on there in case it got dark before I got home. I
    didn't really know how long the ride would take me.
