I do that with my wheels, but I can remove the core of the valve. On this kids bicycle the valve core can not be removed. So I assumed it would not work. Do you manage get it filled with the valve core in place? Thanks.

Thanks. Yip. I have checked on YouTube how to get slime in presta tubes with non-removable valve cores. Was just hoping to be able to buy the right tube. I just like it to have right. Not always a fan of my back-yard hacks like drilling the valve hole, making a hole in the tube to add slime or other similar things. I like hacks if they get me home, but mostly my hacks fail and strand me far from home.

The "duwweltjis" is ensuring I'm patching tubes after every ride.

Hi. I need some help please. Bought the eldest a new bicycle. The 20 inch tires (20x1.75) that came with the bike is really crappy. AND For some reason I seem to have bought the only 20 inch MTB bike in existence with rims that take presta valves , but the core can not screw out. ALL my local bike shops (including the one who sold be bike) is of no help. SO Any shop in Cape-Town area or online shop that stock. 1.) Some decent fold-able (possibly tubeless ready) MTB tires 20x2.2 or something. 2.) And 20 inch presta valve tubes with removable valve core. Any other suggestions would also be appreciated.

Is it the right size for you?

Or Salsa ? Or Contraband?

I honestly wish I had such BBB.

One of aspects I like the most about my "gravel bike" is the simplicity. When I ride it, it reminds me when I had one bike for everything. If I want linkages and shocks, I'll just take my MTB standing next to my "gravel bike."

Ooooohh. That Eddy Merckx . . . . . . .

Are you going to tell Mike Hall (founder of TCR) , Josh Kato, Leal Wilcox and even Mr. Munga, Alex Harris, that Tour Divide they did was not a race? The Munga is ultra distance for sure. But compared to TD and TCR and TransAM it is definitely not unsupported. "Race village" and "Water point" and "unsupported" does not go together. As soon as something is created for the race, that is not there for everybody on all the other 365 days of the year, then it is no longer unsupported. Nothing against the Munga, I love it and watch the dots every year and dream of maybe one day . . . . My 1000th post . . . . finally I can get to those classifieds . . . .

Reflexes and self preservation are greatly impaired when drunk/high.

I'll take the 34T without thinking twice . . . . but that is just my 2cent. Good luck.

I know it not even possible for most of the participants in the DASH. Most does not live in Windhoek. But this is why we do quite a few rides in the middle of the day on Kupferberg a month or two before the Dash. Some really good riders, very well prepared, pitch of from a totally different climate and on the day, the 43 CDeg and 2000 meter elevation of Kupferberg just "blkesems" them.

Eish . . . . I'm sure the tent would do better if the got another voice to narrate the advert.

Saw the pics on IG. It looks stunning!!

Not this year . . . sorry. Live has just been happening in to many areas at once. Bicycles been standing with flat tires for months now.

Sias never ever cry . . . ever.

Aaaaaahh . . . . so that is whats needed to get the medals . . . . Very smart setup I'm jealous.

Can't help thinking this is going to go the same way as F1. With rule constraints on like weight and power , then clever engineering to get the edge, and then new revised rules to get stuff in check again, and then more engineering and then new revised rules and so on and so on and so on. . . . The team/company with the deepest pockets and brainiest engineers wins. Will they bring in tire constraints?

Some these bottle holders for the rear of the seat can complicated with hinges or made form plastics. Will be crappy to find out in the middle of nowhere that it does not stand up to a Munga stress test. I have one of these. Very simple and elegant solution. (in my opinion ) There is nothing to it, nothing to fail. A small saddle bag can even fit underneath. (Will obviously not work with carbon seat rails.)

The Hub very rarely ever solve anything. To the contrary, most things goes on ad infinitum. .

I had some sentimental medals form my school days for Jnr SA athletics . Then it got stolen during a house burglary. Had a bit of satisfaction because other than sentimental value, I think they a worth nothing. Bastards. Any medals I got as adult and from cycling . . . . my kids play with it and it gets lost.

I have also contemplated going drop bars, but my lower back has some issues and I am scared that the reach and drop might be to long and low to be comfortable in looooong rides.
