They gripped well on the dry loose terrain of the Sussex trails, but also on the somewhat soggy paths of the Middlewood Way in Cheshire, and the nearby Longdendale Trail in Derbyshire. On the subject of simple and reliable, the Nuroad WS comes fitted with 35mm Schwalbe G-One Allround tyres which never let me down during my week of riding on trails. I also went off-piste on grass in a local park, mind you that was unplanned.Ĭube’s own-brand RA 0.8 CX wheels use a thru-axle are fitted and removed using an allen key, which for me is a bugbear, as it means the wheels are not aere easy to remove as quick-release, and I generally like things to be kept as simple as possible. So that’s what I did when I tested the Nuroad WS during my Festive 500 ride over forest trails, canal towpaths, and rail trails around England.
