Tubeless

Actually, for scuba you want to stay away from pure oxygen. For deep diving they will remove oxygen from the air mix.

Thanks for all the advice. Crackerjack, where are you located and what size is your bike?

Hi A 2011 X2 will trade for +- 21500. I can get a 2010 model for +- 19200. 1. Would the difference in price make you go for the 2010 or am I loosing out on future trade in value? 2. I was never sure about that light blue, but equally unsure about the 2011 black. Your thoughts please? Well looking at them again, the black looks kind a cool............ http://universal-bicycle.com/products/20100909122917.jpg http://www.everndencycles.co.uk/smsimg/92/3393-12497-main-giant_2011_008-92.jpg

Thanks A quick search on the www for "reviews" has the XT as the overwhelming favourite. I wonder if this is real or a fan-boy thing.

I am researching brakes and have this noob question. What are they referring to when they talk about: better modulation O, I am researching XT vs Avid Elixir R. Comments welcome. Thanks

OK I will go first. Tygerberg MTB - R300 ish currently. Great vallue as we have some great tracks on the local farms taking a lot of work and money; and its expanding.

What are your annual club fees? State if road or MTB. And maybe what you get for it.

This is a huge problem for me as well. Time passes so slow..............

What is the best price locally?

The weather................ they want their money up front. Financial business sense.

If under age....... fine, he will be given a lesson (f...that) he will get moered. One thing is for sure, he will be back.

Today By someone else, just posting.

I come from an adventure (motor)bike background. The camaraderie there is great. Greeting, helping......... I was quite stunned and saddened by the lack of that in this community. Not everybody, but generally there is a lack of "feeling" together.

Most coloured alum doors are powder-coated. Including all the doors and windows in my house (black). No problem.

And the 500........... The 705 is just too big for me.

Are you a mac or pc type of person.

Thanks, and I am then supposed to clearly hear it? Will go and do it again now. I have done it before and had to use my imagination to make me hear it.

few hours (1 day) later......... and the 100 km's was not in one go....... I will get there

Help..... I have heard that putting air into a tubeless tyre could be difficult and you might need a bomb or whatever. This is due to the sludge. I understand this. What bothers me that, after riding with the new tyres for 100+ km's, if I unscrew the valve thingy and push the other thingy in with my finger the air freely escapes. 1. Should this happen if they have indeed put in the sludge? 2. Is it easy for the LBS to check if they have put in the sludge. Please, thanks.

Is it my imagination or are your brake levers pointing very much downwards?

I second that. The effort of the three guys mentioned is unimaginable. Well done Braam, Adrian & James.

Hi As stated elsewhere I installed a tubeless kit on my mtb. (Stans) Now as I understood it, as part of this conversion they put sum sludge type stuff in as well. I have not ridden yet, but noticed tonight, 2 days after installation, that to my dismay the one wheel was loosing air. Loosening the valve, letting sum air out, I expected some sludgy stuff to escape as well. None did. Could it be that the stuff has not spread yet? How would I know if they put the stuff in? Please help K

But I would then just fit a new tubeless tyre. Or what am I missing? Newbeeish.

I've had the name for a while, but now eventually I have gone tubeless. Went for the monorail/crossmark combo. It looks good. Will only be trying it out the weekend though. I was certain that I will get rid of my old tyres. They have plenty of thread left over. (newish) But the people in the shop told me to keep it for in case. In case of what. Any reason why I should hang on to it?
