Hairy Posted May 30, 2019 Share The other night I started fitting my bike with the new wheelset (the aforementioned on that started off as a dinged rear rim, and I rationalized my way into purchasing a whole new wheelset). Well... When removing my tyres off my previous wheelset, I noticed all the gunky dried tubeless sealant around the beads. I started pealing it off, then the rationalizing started once again... Like surely these gummed up beads won't seat properly on the shiny new wheelset. And surely it will take me hours, maybe even weeks, to clean that gunk off. Not to mention the bead may get stretched from my efforts... ...and before I knew it, my debit card fell out of my wallet, and I had clicked purchase on a set of these: Michelin Wild Enduro.PNG It's a slippery slope I tell you! A very slippery slope! ...good thing I procured some grip I am just waiting for the new frame and fork to strap those wheels to.........

patches Posted May 30, 2019 Share I am just waiting for the new frame and fork to strap those wheels to......... I think I have the situation under control now. It was touch-and-go for a minute there, but it seems the new wheels & tyres will fit on my old bike. Any potential frame and fork budget allocation is being diverted into Bike Room funding, starting with a few of of these: http://cyclesportsilkeborg.dk/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/DfnCv-_XUAsF77r-e1532005645416.jpg No not the Spaz 'tricity bike, or the kids bike. But some Steady Racks, to wall mount the current stable. Edited May 30, 2019 by patches Andrew_Smith, KingZA and Red Bird 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebob Posted May 31, 2019 Share And it rides so smooth Route that brake cable on the inside of the fork leg! Don't want it getting it caught on a branch or a rock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Bird Posted May 31, 2019 Share Route that brake cable on the inside of the fork leg! Don't want it getting it caught on a branch or a rock!Thx!! Will check it! Strangely, it was fitted the exact same way on previous fork. Better to not try and test its fate... Edited May 31, 2019 by Engel-a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
