It is almost before the pop up cycle lanes existed there was no congestion, I mean ever.
Stuck in a jam on the M25, bloody cycle lanes…

My POC pads fell to bits, replacements unobtainable.
I have sown them up and they now still work. New ones would be more comfortable, but they are enough for the scratchy velcro not to get me sore.

And unfortuantely todays standard will not be THE standard in a little bit.
When I chose 27.5×3 it was already becoming a redundant format.

Reasonable prices and very customisable.
Obviously not meant to be, but wouldn’t something second hand have sufficed, you could have upgraded and made it hers together.

Something to do with the diamond frame, every noise seems to come from the bb area.

I have often had threads come off the bead area like that, never caused me any problems.

I have pulled over 20 of your finest british thorns out of each of my 3 inch Maxxis Chronicle thorn magnets, and the satisfaction of seeing the wonders of Orange Endurance seal up those ride ruining nasties is very smug inducing.
I run very low pressures so cannot possibly comment on road tubeless tyres.
I like running quality rubber, and latex tubes in my other bicycles, punctures are part of life. The nastyness of puncture resistant tyres, let alone Tannus, fills me with horror.

Their little bits take at least a week and a half, maybe two. If I remember correctly.
I think with the current bicycle boom, if you were to get it in only four weeks you may ba a fairly lucky person.
You lucky people!

Until it’s ripped out for potentially causing congestion.
A tire boot wouldn’t hurt,
A tire boot wouldn’t hurt, even over a thin glued patch, but if it’s very long term it will eventually hurt the inner tube. The boot eventually disintergrates, causing edges which dig into the tube. But it will give you more life in the tyre, wear it out quickly.

Last week I encountered an oncoming pedestrian who appeared to be watching a video on a large tablet. He of course could have been reading and lisening to music. I did manage to attract his attention with light ring of my bell (Crane Riten, brass, Japanese, beautiful tone and sustain) and we passed safely on the relatively narrow shared route. I was of course prepared to stop and I had already slowed in anticipation, though I do find the unavoidable small skid on the rear can scare the poop out of unaware walkers.
I am sometimes suprised by the publics demand to be constantly entertained, I do like to try and be aware of what’s going on around me.
Quiteish bicycle, but I find the crunching/rumbling of my tyres does detract from the birdsong and other sounds of nature.
