What have you done to your bike today?

[Steve Vai]

Or will it?

I did something else. I ordered the weird Vitoria foam noodle insert kit thing. That plus the Armour 2 tires should be the fix of all fixes.

I just had my mower tires foam filled. I know a guy!

Interesting, I have tubes in order for my riding lawn mower, I guess yet another case of unnecessary tubeless setup by JD.

You assume when it all goes wrong I'm not just going to throw the entire wheel into the ocean?

You got me, I confess I did not consider that outcome.

The ocean is earth's dumpster.

And you’re a plant-a-tarian. By GOD, you need to eat a pea for the porpoise!

Just about to turn 50 and have come to the conclusion that the Trillion Dollar Corporations using the earth as their personal dumping and pillaging grounds will always undo whatever good a pee-on like me can do. And like 90% of the population believes going vegetarian does nothing for the environment so, I just give up. No more recycling, I throw trash on the side of the road during rides, put my used motor oil in the normal garbage, what's the point at this point?

That is outrageous when with little effort you could be making a big difference...it's science, Popular Science.

If we all dump oil into the ground doesn’t it become a renewable energy source?

 

[scott62]

I thought you were supposed to use your old oil to burn Teslas🙄

Takes less time to get tires delivered from England than the store I work at 😂

Yeah, you’re right. And a buzz-kill. Come on man!

The other one I remember in that magazine was how to control mosquito population near the pond. Same,
pour som oil in the water, it floats and kills bugs.

Not to turn this into a tire discussion but I’ve had great success with Hutchinson Fusion 5s. They not a cool enough tire?

North nj eats xc tires. Trail or enduro tires are all that works for me. My current tires of choice are wild enduros from Michelin. Set the tire pressure and pound rocks. Btw, try this tire sealant…

It claims to seal holes up to 6mm and I have seen it work on a buddies bike.

I have one of those, the OG version, in one of the rear tires. I find I need to put twice as much sealant since about half of it will be sticking to the insert while the other half does the actual intended work.

My grandfather used to dump it around the foundation of the house, told us it kept bugs away.

Curiously enough, I ordered two tires and one pair of pants in Italy on Sunday and they were delivered yesterday!

No, it's basically round with channels cut on the outer and inner radii of the foam with holes drilled through at multiple locations for the valve to line up with.
