You cheated with the towels under the bike.....

If you are going to do a lot of trail riding then consider flat pedals like the saints if more XC then clipless.

Flats give confidence and helps with skills and no your feet won't slip off

Too Late now. The Shimano M8000's arrived Yesterday. Not going to spend another cent until next month. Budget is gone... 

[DieselnDust]

Argh flats look too bmx anyways. Clipins are perfect for the kind of riding you want to do

Jirr. For 36k you won't do much better than that.

 

Off to Witfontein to get her dirty, I hear it's prime right now.

Congrats on the new bike! Did the dealer include all the bits and pieces with it (sag guides, manuals etc?)

Yes they did. I only changed the wheels

Hi guys, need some help. Since I have tubeless tires/wheels, how do I pump up my wheels cuz they have liquid in them? I dont know how it works. 

 

Can I just pump them up with a normal pump? 

 

Also, I have this one > https://bike-addict.co.za/products/ryder-st-3-0-floor-pump

 

What bar or psi should they be? 

[Captain Fastbastard Mayhem]

Yes, normal pump is fine. That Ryder floor pump is great for the purpose. 

 

Start at around 28PSI rear and 25PSI front and fine tune from there. You may need to go slightly higher at the rear, depending on what tyres you're running and how strong the sidewalls are. 

 

Generally speaking, higher volume & stronger sidewalls = lower pressure.

What Myles said. Just to add to that - before you start pumping the tyre just let a little air out (press the valve for a second), just to get rid of the few mills of sealent that may be in the valve). Once you have pumped the tyre up and removed the pump head from the valve just compress the pump a few times to get rid of any sealant that may have gotten into the pump head - gets a bit pesky if sealant gets stuck there and clogs up your pump.
