They do! I can't wait to get the gavel bike built so that I can go for a 
long ride on them.

Re: [RBW] Re: Shellacing the Neubaums

[JohnS]

Joe,

I have a pair of the Rat Trap Pass, file tread tires that I'll going to 
first try. The gravel roads around here aren't that long, so I ride from 
one section of gravel to another on paved roads for more that 1/2 the ride. 
But if I'm not happy with the RTP, then I would like to try the Humptulips.

 Better your bars than a furniture project! 

 It depends on the project but I typically like three coats of shellac.

If they are the knobby RH tires, then they will probably grip better on the 
dirt than these tires. I have the 26” RH Humptulips on my Bstone MB2 and they 
are so nice that it doesn’t make me feel bad for what I paid for them, 
especially in comparison to what I paid for the bike! And they roll nearly like 
slicks on pavement. And are pretty nice sounding too!

Thanks Joe, I may consider them for a gravel bike that I'll be building 
from a M2 StumpJumper. I have a pair of Rene Herse tires for it (from a 
list member) that I'll start with and see how they do. I've had good luck 
the RH tires and have them on most of my bikes. The '82 Stumpy will have 
Fat Franks, bullet proof, reasonable price, fun, but not a performance tire.

Almost done with the rasket, will post a pic soon.

Re: [RBW] Re: Shellacing the Neubaums

[Joe Mullins]

The Ultradynamico tires are nice. They are very comfortable and the bike feels 
great (and fast) with them. I’m running the Rose up front which holds fine on 
the loose dirt around here. On pavement it rolls fine with a bit of a whirring 
sound that’s not as distracting as full on knobbies but also not silent. I have 
a Cava in the back which is way too loose on the trails we have around here. 
Makes me ride much safer yet also makes me want to practice my drifting skills. 
With Mini-Motos it’s WAY to easy to skid. 

I have them setup tubeless since they have zero puncture protection and I live 
in Los Angeles where the streets (and trails) are sadly always covered in 
broken glass. My next set of tires will definitely be something cheaper and 
more durable mainly for peace of mind. With Pasela’s I don’t even bother 
swerving around glass! These were fun to try though!

Nice looking mounting of the basket to the Nitto rack. How do you like the 
UltraDynamico tires?

My plan is to cut down the Wald struts and use a couple angle brackets 
along with aluminum bar stock to make a "rasket". Finding a long strut to 
go from the fork to the rasket isn't going well. Riv has a rear one which I 
may use or I may fabricate one out of the bar stock for the time being.

[RBW] Re: Shellacing the Neubaums

[JohnS]

Thank you for the advice of using lighter coats, that should help prevent 
runs and drips. I put two coats on this time, so should be good for a 
while. Now onto mounting the Wald basket, always something.

[RBW] Re: Shellacing the Neubaums

[Eric Marth]

JohnS: It sounds like you have too much shellac in your brush. Submerge the 
bristles of your brush only about a half inch and then lay off the brush by 
wiping the end of the bristles on the underside of the rim of the can. You 
only need enough to get a single even coat. Shellac dries quickly, it won't 
be long until you're ready for the next application. 

As Jstern mentions denatured alcohol is great for cleaning up any shellac 
that ended up where you don't want it. Just dab a bit onto a rag and then 
wipe the rag over your trouble area. 

I don't cover the bike, sometimes I'll mask my bar end shifter pods with 
blue painter's tape but I usually don't bother. 

I haven't had any trouble handling the shellac, no issues with runs or 
drips. I use a 1" wide chip brush and always lay off my brush on the inside 
edge of the can. I clean my brush with denatured alcohol and have used the 
same cheap brush for many shellac applications over the last several years. 

Be warned! Shellac can and does go bad. I pulled an old can of amber 
shellac out of our warehouse for my handlebars once. It never dried and was 
still tacky and goopy days later. I removed it with denatured alcohol. 
Better your bars than a furniture project! 

It depends on the project but I typically like three coats of shellac.

[Johnny Alien]

I never do loads of coats. I like just enough to provide some protection 
and keep the twine in place.  Usually just one coat honestly. I never cover 
anything. I am a rebel.

[J S]

I always apply in very light coats. I end up using 6 or so coats.  Like you 
I cover the front of the bike.  I use plastic drop cloths and lasting tape. 
 Alcohol, denatured Alcohol can take the shellac off of the places you do 
not want it.
