Tubeless conversion
Ghetto conversion with
Alex DP20 rim on rear with Kenda Small block 8 folding 2.35. - the bead set as soon as I put it on at the servo.
Kmart $4 20" tube - was cut down the middle for a rim strip.
Nitto electrical tape 18mm - spoke tape. wrapped nice and tight.
Brushing Latex $40 mixed with Windex and water.
Running 35psi on the back with tube, so wondering how low I could go for a 95kg rider + gear.
DIY Servicing
Not to sound cheap (because really I am) but the cost of servicing my beloved is more than servicing my Subaru!!
Without mentioning LBS names, but some places charge up to $230 for a full service and thats without brake, drivetrain and shock servicing, which is all I need really.
So my question is, is whether there is anyone out there that has converted the garage/shed/outback loo/treehouse etc to a workshop and knows enough of the know to help service a few of our rigs and also teach us some jedi mind tricks in the process involved with it.
All for a competitive fee of course ...
DIY Carbon Fibre
This is a bit interesting... how to build a carbon fibre frame. Not sure it's worth it, but interesting all the same.
