[RBW] Perplexities regarding flat tires

Learning to change out an inner tube after flatting is definitely a high value skill to learn for any cyclist I think. That's probably one of the main things that would be included in a basic bike maintenance class. A bit of practice after learning the basics should serve you well.

Thanks very much; those show me what I wanted to know. And thanks to the person who posted the Crust photos -- the bent stays are exactly what I'll need to do. On Sun, Jan 6, 2019 at 3:45 PM Jacob wrote: > The close-ups aren't great, as there are so many variables, but I tried to > hold a

[RBW] Re: Mismatched tires

My SE Bikes F@e came with a 100 mm front rim, 80 mm rear rim for the 26x4s for the same reason, the wider front rim makes the front tire a little wider and gives it more flotation on the soft stuff. On a road bike, I would put the wider rim/tire on the rear. Laing Cocoa, FL On Friday, January

Honjo H95s. I bought two pairs, one for my Bombadil, one for my HHH. They are listed a 65mm wide and rather flat. They are noticeably wider than the stainless steel Berthouds (650bx60) currently on the Bombadil. The Berthouds are being transferred to the Clementine and the Honjo H79s

Jamison, Did you get a Quickbeam. I’m also looking for one. If anybody sees this soon, please give him first shot at a 60. I would also be interested in a 58. I would also consider similar riv models, such as the Simpleone or 59 Frank Jones. Cheers, Matt B Oswego, IL -- You received this

As someone who really loves dogs but who recently took an unexpected header on a slick wooden bridge, I'd also recommend that you think about how a dog in as basket would fair in a crash. Kevin Lindsey Alexandria, VA USA On Wednesday, June 20, 2018 at 1:46:28 PM UTC-4, Jim S. wrote: > > I'm

Re: [RBW] Re: Perplexities regarding flat tires

Actually, unless we're talking about goathead country or roads completely covered with broken glass, an uncontrollable string of punctures points strongly to one of three things: an embedded sharp still stuck in the tire, causing the same flat time and time again (and wires are particularly

Re: [RBW] Re: Perplexities regarding flat tires

“I’ll check out the tires liners, Lester. Thanks so much. ” My very limited experience with tire liners is that they cause more flats than they prevent. I wouldn’t resort to them before having an uncontrollable string of punctures and even then, I would consider better tires first. Bill S --

Re: [RBW] Re: Perplexities regarding flat tires

I have had only a few flats that were unexplainable after having the chance to do some after the fact inspections. They mostly involved suspicion of the integrity where the tube and the the integral skirt around the base of the valve are joined. It's bad when you become critical of inexpensive

Try no baselayer tops at all PM, just regular polyester fleece. My favorites are basic fleece like Polartec's 100, 200 and WindPro of varying weights. I tried this on a whim one cold 20 degree winters day, wearing both a 100 1/4 zip and 200 full zip jacket with a LL Bean supplex nylon 1/2 zip
