just messaged you.

How difficult are they to mount? That's what is keeping me running tubes at this point; way too many stories of the countis and other tubeless road tires being next to impossible to get on the rim

Supposed to be thunderstorms sat

The only thing the OP could have said to get even more abuse would have been to say he was going kayaking on the Rockaway River after the garage sale... Good luck with the garage sale!

Got in Saturday from 630 to dark. Beautiful sunset. Went in from Canfield gate and went down white. Stream crossing was passable and then hit 3-4 muddy spots before crossed stream again. Went up white and did a loop on blue. Everything else was dry and firm.

Good vibes going out to everyone dropping alcohol or sweets or whatever else. I fortunately never had issues with drugs or alcohol but I was addicted to soda for most of my life. Kicked that 4 years ago. Was literally drinking at least a two liter bottle of diet mt dew or cola every day for...

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone! I'm getting a new wheelset for my road bike (2011 Surly Pacer). I'm 6 ft 200 lbs and usually do 15-20 mile rides 4-5 times a week March thru November on my roadbike. I'm a masher not a spinner. This will be a tubeless ready wheelset. I usually...

Is DM open or closed?

Are they really gonna order us not to leave the house? This does not sound good.

The last two weeks I have seen more bikers than I ever saw in DM. I pulled off and tried to give everyone 10 feet or so to pass. Hopefully this will only be for a month or so. I would echo the above sentiments about any continued riding in closed parks - it's only gonna hurt us if there is...

I think it is inevitable that the local parks will close. I hate this. I really don't understand how hiking or biking in the woods is putting people at risk, but seeing how overloaded some parking lots have been the last two weeks it is understandable that the govt has resorted to these...

So open?
