Missed tubeless chat, but I've got a question for this thread. I recently did a tubeless conversion on my gravel bike's wheelset, a pair of HED Tomcat Disc's. I used the magical green tape, and have redone the job a couple times because I wanted to avoid bubbling under the layers I put down. I eventually did a nice job with my taping, but I've noticed that they will hold air pretty well for a few days to maybe a week then just flat. The front wheel does this quicker and more often than the rear wheel. I don't think the amount of sealant is the issue since I initially poured a decent amount of Orange Seal in both tires. Now that the sealant might be drying out, I'm wondering if I should redo the taping, or just add one more layer of tape on them? FWIW, I'm running Gravelking SK 38's on them and they felt like they held air even with hard riding over rock gardens and the like. rngd in the womb fucked around with this message at 02:51 on Aug 6, 2020 |

Hmm, I'll keep the tube thing in mind the next time I do a tubeless conversion. Thanks for the tip!

FogHelmut posted:I guess tubeless is that good that it's worth carrying all the extra kit? I don't carry CO2 stuff, extra sealant, or patches. I'll consider that if I'm going on a multi-day ride though. My tire boot is usually just a $1 bill. If I double flat on road tubeless, I just call family to come and pick me up.

Doing a quick check here. I just got new wheels so I'm going through the process of setting them up. I normally ride a 11-28T cassette on the trainer and the bike, but I have a spare 11-25T cassette that I'd like to wear out. I want to slap the 11-25T on the trainer so I can have 11-28s on this wheelset and my older wheels too.Shimano posted:11-12-13-14-15-17-19-21-23-25-28T Am I right in thinking that my RD wouldn't present issues with the 11-25T for the first 5 cogs, and after that, the chain might start to rub and skip etc so I'd most likely have to adjust my RD?

Alright, thanks. I didn't want to go through all of the trouble if it meant more fiddling down the road.

Yeah, just set up a savings fund for an used bike then do alerts for your size on CL, ebay, pinkbike and check The Pros Closet every so often. You're probably the most likely to get a nicer bike that way instead of waiting for the industry to stock up on the things you want to upgrade through the year.

Yeah, it's just not a "service interval" you plan for.
