    I fitted my surly dirt

    I fitted my surly dirt wizards last weekend, mud specific and a pig on tarmac, doable.  When I put a new front on over the summer I needed to retape the rear, discovered I had two and a half wraps of tape, which explained the impossibility of moving the bead and the deafening noise when popping in place.  Removed all and replaced with one and a half, wrapping being a nightmare of course.  Tyre popped on with much less terror and no need for the soap, and I had some scwalbe stuff specific for the task too. Changed the tape off the front, after removing a wrap last year and found that the lbs  had used Lecky tape, little more flexible and big dents in the spoke holes, but nice to know, understandable as 50mm tape is very specific.  Might even use a bit on the valve hole under the tubeless tape to add a little more strength, later.

    It is a learning experience and I can now laugh at hedge cutting season.

    It’s painted white and it marks the corner of the pavement.

    Drive on the road, don’t cut the corner then there is absolutely no problem.
