All Things Bikes and Tacos! (...and every vehicle imaginable)

Fret not, post-GWOT, all extrajudicial killings I assist in are purely consensual.

 

I think we can be best friends

 

We'll find out soon enough

 

I really am limited to like one beer, maybe two max a day, I use the other natural green stuff. good for pain, inflammation snares and snags too and makes led zeppelin better than they are. MF jimmy page is the man!

 

It's all good homie. Nobody's judging. To hell with em if they do.

 

I agree. Maybe we can get a group photo too for tw, that is pretty cool, tw members coming here to NV for a bike race. that's what community is about mang! connection, hell maybe we can do the first TW nv ride, there are some other trails out there.

 

I might be able to hit a quick lap on Blue Lake or whatever that area is called on my way outta town. Time will be a little tight, but I'll try to make it work.

 

Bought some muc off tubeless valves and sealant. Tubes are cool but I wanna try it out. Plus they have some pretty Gucci colors, me like

 

Once you go tubeless, you'll never go back willingly. Its so nice, esp here out west where there's lots of pokey things.

 

I went tubeless. and then I went back.

 

I will carry the 29er tube with me on the bike JIC, but yeah so fart its nice. too much snow on the ground here to ride, thought about trying to do a 29+ tires, 29x3 or 29x3.5 make it to ultimate rolling machine, even putin would be scared.

 

but now I'm not sure it was an issue with the tubeless. I've still been having issues with that wheel, and it's bothering me a lot...

 

swap it? maybe needs more sealant? @Gunshot-6A what pedals are you rocking dude? I really wanna pickup a set of crank bro flats in oil slick color. got any time with these? I had a pair of the hybrid ones on my old bike, they were ok but these flats look perfect

 

Deity Bladerunners are my jam, but they earned their name for me. FB banned me for 24hrs for a picture of the damage from my last crash involving them

 

really? I am gonna check them out right meow.

@Gunshot-6A dude, those deity's are really sweet. Love the color choices.

 

that's what we (me and the bike shop) thought at first, but they re-sealed it, basically re-did the tubeless set up on it, but it still kept going flat. so I ended up reverting both wheels to tubed, but the back wheel still goes flat after a day or two. even replacing the tire a couple times, it still slowly loses air. it holds pressure long enough to do a ride (even a fairly long one) but I every time I put the bike away, and then look at it in the next few days, the rear wheel is flat, and the front wheel is still holding pretty much the same pressure as when I inflated it.

I'm guessing its just something with the wheel, but since it holds through a ride, and I don't have the cash in hand for new wheels, I haven't bothered taking it to another shop for work/replacement.

 

Yeah, that sounds like either a leaky valvestem (I've had a stealthy one that didn't hiss or anything) or a teeny crack in the rim somewhere

 

yea I thought about the valve stem, but I don't think its that, since it still happens despite changing it, and the tube several times. Hence why I think its the rim, and why I'm just procrastinating on doing anything about it.

 

yep...many times...it is AWESOME!! Probably gonna be packed on weekends now, so if you can get out during a week day - when everyone else is in school - you might have the place to your self.

Where are you coming from?

 

i was having an issue with my rear wheel slowly leaking. id have to pump it like every ride even if i rode the day before. kinda just accepted that was my life from now on.

then i went out with a friend and he rode it. he didn't do anything but ride it since it was his first time on a mountain bike.

now the tire holds air.

no idea what happened, but ill take it.

havent been on that bike in a couple months, but it has more air than my front tire right now
