All i know is its hot as fcuk in the mountains and when I got home from doing my fitness activities i was super happy to lay down and take a long nap.
She told me she did 5 tire changes yesterday and this morning and feels like shes pretty good at it now
What tubeless setup is she running (brand, etc)? I’m not familiar with the bike side of things, but I run variations on my dirt bike. The tubliss system is what I used to run - it’s not the easiest system to change in and out. I run Mousse now and it’s the best thing since sliced bread - zero possibility for flat (install difficulty level 8/10).Point being tubeless stuff is a pain to fix on the fly.
From what I’m reading about bike tubeless some are harder than others to seat on the rim. Most need a high pressure air system to get it seated. Is she carrying a standard pump, co2 cartridges, or?? Also, is she adding the sealant to cover any punctures along the way?
I’m trying to figure out what the advantage is here? Is she running lower tire pressures? (Sorry lots of questions)
On a side note…. GOGOGOGOGOGOGO!!!
