Converted to tubeless this morning. Front was a bit of a PITA this time around. I suppose just the tire being tighter. I'm sure there's some variance when they are made. But otherwise the conversion was nice and easy.
Letting the bike rest upside down to let the fork oil drain to the top to get the seals nice and saturated. I may just drop the lower this week and check things out anyways. Not sure I'll get to ride until this weekend if even then...weather is kinda nasty, work, other plans...not looking good for riding. And since the RockShox forks are kinda notorious for being dry when new, probably better safe than sorry.
And on a more interesting note...seems that there's been some sort of billing screw up or something happened with my bank account...haven't gotten it sorted yet. But my bank account was charged a second time yesterday taking $2,499 out of my account causing a $600+ overage and costing me a $25 penalty. DiamondBack claims they didn't do and and don't have my money. But it's gone.
Story is this...I purchased the bike for $2,249. Used Paypal which took the money from my bank account. Got the bike. Returned the bike. DB refunded the $2,249. I re-purchased the bike for $2,499 with the agreement that DB would refund me the difference in price between the 1st and 2nd bike so that I was only paying the original amount since the 10% off coupon I originally used wasn't valid for me anymore. Ok. Great. Got the bike yesterday. Money that was in my Paypal account from the refund was used to pay for the second bike. But...yesterday my bank account says an additional transfer to DB for another $2,499 was made. Which caused the overdraft and now my account is negative. Emailed DB. Told me to call. Called. Told me it wasn't their fault and they don't have the money. Emailed them again. Same story. We don't have your money. Don't know what happened. Have a nice day. I did at least get the refund for the difference in the price of the bikes. But I'm still out an additional $2,499. So needless to say...I'm beyond frustrated at this point and getting ready to head to the bank so see what they have to say.
