Few questions

[Mbot]

Hi guys

 

Please help me with a few things I am still in the dark about....

 

Whats a good weight for a mountainbike, not just the frame, a ready to go bike.

 

How often should you clean and wax your chain, and with what?

 

Tubeless tyres - how do you fix the punctures?

 

Thank yous

My 2c

1. Anything below 10kg for a hardtail

2. I clean and lube my chain about 2x per month on the rd and mtb. Use a chaincleaner with prepsol to clean.

3. U buy a tubeless repair kit. Think it about R110. It looks like the gators they put in your car tyres

OOOh now I made a mess of the tubeless tyres. I got a puncture, and I have those racing bike valves. So I poured the new slime just in at the side of the wheels. But now it doesnt want to inflate again??? What am I doing wrong?

below 10kg is very light for a ht.

 

Have seen R25000 carbon ht's thats 10.5kg. Silverback surplus

[stewie911]

you can lube after every ride. If u use a good lube you don't have to clean the chain that much

Is there a limit on the weight?

[stewie911]

not that i know of.

 

95% sure there isn't.

 

Cannondale makes a 7.5kg ht
