so then what is the deal with a UST tyre?? Is it just cause it has a tougher side wall then??

Sp you are saying that you can seal a regular tyre on a ust rim without the rim strip?

Hi I have been using the "Ghetto" method for some time now on standard rims without any major issues. Will the Ghetto system work on a UST rim (namely Mavic XM819) Before you ask why ghetto on a UST rim?? The reason for this is to save on cost of purchasing UST tyres?

I am glad he is OK.

I thought WW is willy wonker....???

Why dont you just loos a few k's of the tummy of yours??

If it is a really wet day I carry a small can of WD40/Q20/DWF in my bag, so when u stop to re-lube chain, u give your bike a quick spray down (exept the brakes) This work wonders in stopping mud sticking to pedals and frame.

Pythons seem to be a poplar choice. What is the going price for a set of pythons? UST and Standard

I might have to look in to it!!

It would be an interesting thing to look into.

do you know the weight by an chance? Also, what is the going rate for a new Anthem?

Hi Guys Anyone on here own a 09 Anthem x1? What are they like, compared to the 07 Anthem? jughead_dave2009-02-05 23:23:35

I also firmly believe that bearings in Full Sys linkage is a bad idea. I have replaced my Anthem Bearings on several occasions. Has anyone considered machining some bushes from vesconite, or aluminium to replace the bearings??

Ghetto tubless all the way, works the same as stans/Joes/Toms/Bobs ext, for a fraction of the price!!!!

Allways a tricky one to sort out. If it were my bike, I would start with a little WD40 on all the picot points to see if that solves the problem, it could just be a tiny bit og grit and grime. I have a 2007 Anthem (RP2 Shock). It really is a great bike, but also seem prone to all sorts of strange sounds.(clicking nocking ect) When my bike starts making noises, I normally give it a lovely wash, re lube, bit of WD40 on all pivots, wipe down the frame with a oily rag, and 9 times out of 10 this solves the issue. Good Luck Keep us posted

respect for rideing a SS on the Sani!!!

nice bike the thug

The sani is fairly smooth, so if I had a decent HT, I would also proably use it over my anthem.

This is mine, Same as last year! http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v406/6/17/591936075/n591936075_1570946_2429.jpg

Thanks Johan. That answers my question. So bicycle chain are in fact "not standard" from a industrial chain point of view.

Like I said, I was just wondering?? It may also work out a whole lot cheaper

Was in Bearing Man earlier to day to pick up some bearings for my DT Swiss hub, and I was wondering if it would be possible to purchase bicycle chain from them? They supply other industrial chain, so why not bicycle?? Any ideas or thoughts on this??

there are some lovely road rides out of the SW of london!!!

Thanks P
