Time ADHX 45
“Riders that spend the majority of their time on unimproved roads will appreciate the volume and traction offered by a 45c tire. Gravel-oriented frames achieve the necessary tire clearance by thinning and lengthening the seatstays and chainstays and widening the crown of the fork. The resulting increase in frame deflection paired with the vibration absorption and traction of larger tires make light work of rough roads even as they render the ADHX 45 less suited to asphalt.”

In this video, JOM Of the Gravel Cyclist crew presents his long-term, real-world, no BS review of the lovely Time ADHX 45. Ridden extensively in Australia and the United States, JOM put the ADHX 45 through the wringer across every terrain imaginable, including good and not so great weather.
Continued from Above:
ADHX 45 COULD BE YOUR TIME IF
- Google Maps can’t figure out where you are most of the time
- What appears to be a vicious sock tan wipes off with a wet washcloth
- You know exactly where that Forest Service road connects, and HIGHLY recommend it
- You don’t own a pump gauge that goes past 60psi
Reminder: ALWAYS BE A STEWARD FOR GRAVEL CYCLING: Respect the roads, respect the locals, respect the land, respect your fellow cyclists.

As regards the press fit BB I make an exception for Time. Their build method and QC are best in class meaning the BB sheel is actually round, in spec and properly finished so the BB will press in as designed and not creak.
Absolutely 100% no creaking during the review period, I expect that will not change any time soon. Thank you.
Great review! It’s insightful to see how the Time ADHX 45 performs over the long haul. I appreciate the detailed feedback on its ride quality and durability. Definitely considering one for my next gravel adventure!
