Good to know, I have some bit of play in one of them. Worst case scenario is buying the cheapest version and do a internals swap with my XC12 I guess

Anyone got where to buy new bearings for XC pedals? Got XC8 and 12 in different bikes for some years now

I always carry a small patch box with two superglues, one tire boot, several rubber patches and some anchovies.
If I get a flat that leaks I'll put an anchovie with glue, to avoid the pressure expelling the anchovie. If it's too big I'll glue and rubber patch outside to carry me home. If it's massive I'll use the tire boot inside.
Of course if you have to get the tire out of the rim it's better to have CO2 cannisters than a pump to remount the thing.
Best long term solution for any leaky fixings is a patch inside as recommended above.
Sounds complicated but I've been riding without carrying spare tubes for a year now, usually takes me a minute on the roadside to fix a flat, in many cases I don't even notice until I feel a soft tire and remove the offending glass at home. Hope this helps -
Just get rid of the gravelkings, they suck glass. Tubeless helps

It might be a good idea to strip, clean and grease the whole thing. Always worked well enough the time I had it.

You mean for spinning it? I always got some big tool in any of the holes and tapped it with a mallet. Apply grease on the BB shell from time to time

I hate that cable routing. Collects so much shit

No but I have Michelin pro 4 endurance tubed in one bike and they're amazing so far.
Don't use tubeless tires tubed, you're adding more rubber to an already stiffer and heavier tire -
They're probably some horrific joytech looseball things. Maybe you can somehow chop the axle to size
Last time I checked kinlin XR22T were 35 each at SPA cycles. That or new open pro would be my pick
