Pimpbot and I are working for now. I think we're going to split and go ride somewhere - perhaps China Camp. Son-of-Dan'ger is in town, and he's beginner/intermediate so should be a good place for him to ride with us.slide mon said:
OK. So 'splain me. What's the point of running the Nevegals tubeless? Were you getting pinch flats? We have no thorns in the area. Stan's goop, in the quantities necessary for Nevegals isn't much different than a light tube in weight.smw said:
Not a weight weenie thing at all. I hate flats, and to be honest I havent had one in over a year. I had friends getting pinch flats, and didnt like waiting all the time to replace tubes. Now I run tubes most of the time, but I also run high volume tires instead. Most of the tires I run are anything but light. I dont just ride in your back yard either, and if I am riding somewhere with thorns, I run tubeless. St Park and surrounding area's have alot of thorns. I ran the Nevegal tubeless last summer, then realized I didnt like the tire anyway, so I have just been riding the Adrenaline's since. The Niner I run the WTB's which tend to be rather heavy. So you have no thorns in the area, but I do, Ill bring ya some next time I come over your way.Blue Shorts said:
Oh and to answer your first question, I personally see no reason to run a Nevagal at all, but thats me.
I bought the tubeless rim strips and stems for my Bontrager rims and was debating wheather I should convert. I managed 2 pinch flats and a torn valve flat at D'Ville the other weekend, and that was making a case for conversion.slide mon said:
Whew. That was close. All's right with the world, now:thumbsup:smw said:
