Tubeless tape isn't very expensive. As mentioned I'd use it over Gorilla.
And inflation can be difficult with a standard pump. I have a small
compressor, and I also have a Topeak Joeblow Booster, which allows you to
pump a chamber to high psi and let it out in one blast to seat tubeless
tires.

i would say make yourself ready for asking yourself why you decided to go
tubeless :). the learning curve in my garage was hours long. get ready for
tight tires (Conti 5000) that are impossible to get on rim. or get ready

I will say that if you use Gorilla tape, it is a bitch to clean up the rim
when you remove it. Lots of residue left on the rim that will need to be
stripped off with acetone. Analog sells tubeless tape at a very reasonable
price. One roll will do at least a dozen wheels.

Yeah, Riv switched most of their bikes over to 26.8 from 27.2 a couple
years ago. Really limited the seatpost options.

Hi Linda,
I'm just shy of 5ft 6 and going with the 50 Platypus. Will said he errs on
the side of smaller and Grant would err on the larger side. I have no idea
how it will feel as I have never ridden anything like this and also never a

Thank you Marc and Tom for your responses. The feedback is helpful.

Yep, build your own. I'm somewhere north of 100 wheel builds (not pairs),
for friends and family, and self. I've used Brandt's method and over time
picked up a truing stand, tension meter (both Park), and dishing tool
(Minoura). My first wheels were done using the bike for a truing stand, and

I'm glad Joe mentioned this, because I've been trying to solve this exact
problem. The Avid SD-7 levers (which are my favorites) interfere with
Riv-versed shifters no matter how they are swapped around, because the bolt
part of the clamp always points to the inside of the handlebar.

Yes, everyone needs one. I bought the smallest one on sale and it's

Depending on what brake levers you have, you may not have to reverse them,
too. My Paul and Shimano short pull levers don't jut out but my Sunrace
linear pulls do so they kinda get in the way with the Riv-erse shifter set
up. However I was able to scooch the shifters up the bar enough to clear

Robert, I dig the multi-use table. Nice job with your first bench build! A

Yeah, Max, lubrication is critical! I've never had Pliny, always run into

I know, I started at flex to cover that base, then addressed the size/wheel
issue you have with the Platypus. I rode the 50cm prototype (I'm 5'-6") and
it fit great as well as being a noticeably smaller bike overall than the 55
it was parked next to.
On Friday, March 5, 2021 at 12:16:25 AM U
My question was directed to Tom or Marc about the Soma Buena Vista. I do
not believe the Platypus would be flexy because it has a different top tube
design. Same with the Handsome She-Devil. I'm looking for everything I want
in one bike and it is very difficult to find! That's to be expected.

I had a 55cm Cheviot and it was one of the stiffest bikes I've ever owned,
I think the mid-stays in the rear triangle contributed to this..I would be
very surprised if the new Platypus (updated Cheviot) is flexy.
Also I recommend comparing the sizing of your V-O to the 50cm Platy, it's
