SwissVan Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 How do you flag a ride on Strava?For example when you see a ride that is simply not possible, like positions 1 and 2 in the screen shot below.
JohanLotter Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 Find the segment time on the leaderboard and click through to view the Strava Activity page that you wish to flag. (Simply click on the date link) Use the 'wrench' icon at the left side of the page to select 'Flag Ride/Run.' Select the correct reason for the flag and leave descriptive and thorough comments. When you're done, press the "Flag" button. All the public results will be removed from the Segment Leaderboards.
SwissVan Posted September 5, 2018 Author Posted September 5, 2018 I would like to put new sealant in my mtb tubeless tyres and remove the old sealant (still liquid) before putting in the new sealant. Using a big syringe and plastic hose comes to mind.... Any other tricks on how to get the old tyre sealant out of tubeless mtb tyres without taking the tyre completely off the rim?
coppi Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 Any other tricks on how to get the old tyre sealant out of tubeless mtb tyres without taking the tyre completely off the rim?Pump the tyre to 3 bar, unscrew tyre valve and booooom........................

Take hot water and squirt about 100 to 200 ml into the tyre. Spin the wheel around a few times and shake it, this is to help dissolve the old slime. Place the wheel with the valve at the bottom and pull back on the syringe that you squirt your slime in with and you should be able to suck almost all the old dissolved slime out.

Jehosefat Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 Just take about 20-25 cm of the bead off the rim and pour it out. Then you can put in the new sealant without a syringe. Easy enough to get it back on and seated then.

Alouette3 Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 If you are careful, you should be able to unseat just one bead and leave the other intact. Pour out and you should have no problem reseating with a floor pump. If both unseat, just pop down to the garage and use there tire inflator. Always remember to remove the valve core first to increase air flow rate.

Alouette3 Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 If its still liquid and you don't have time, just top it up. Only reason to remove would be to change brands or remove a stans monster.

Doc blue was the last I put in which is the same as Stans

If so then you will be in the dog box for a while

Stretch Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 Almost every single running segment I see here in Ireland has a CR that is a cycling activity. No one seems to really care... Dudes aren't too stressed with being the top knob it seems
