She is finally here (refer back a good few months in this thread). Now I just need to find a buyer for my second kidney so that I can get the towbar to put the bike rack on.

Finally found some Lake MTB shoes in my size and colour locally.

Initial feelings wearing them (not riding) they feel comfortable, hoping they will be a bit more comfortable for my toes compared to my current shoes.

The old Breville Barista returned a non repairable quote, has been retired and made way for its replacement…..

Trashy I am note sure. Love all bikes and gadgets, but hopeless, asked my friend, Dirk at the LBS and he did it. Will send you a PM when I have the info.

Ha ha, all good!

Seeing as it's the stock parts, I imagine he just added tubeless tape, valves and sealant.

Will give it a go this weekend.

Tyres need to support it too I suppose.

I'm relatively certain the stock tyres on the Hades SE are not tubeless ready.

On my sons, there are the Vee Tire Crown Gem, specifically the MPC compound "natural wall" variety.

Looking on their site, this is not listed as tubless ready (it's the dash in the 3rd to last column)

Does it count as N+1 if you’re buying the bike for your wife? 😜

Very impressed with the quality of this “cheap” e commuter from Titan Racing. Looks solid, and has decent components. Lots of family rides in the future 😀
