Re: ever wish you were strong enough to ride single speed ?

I think everyone is strong enough to ride single speed! Just that the less fit you are the more walking you do.

Re: Tubeless - An idiots guide

5 years tubeless, 5 years since my last puncture! :-bd
Not sure if carrying a spare tube (just in case)is ever worth it, because when I look inside a tyre that I have been running tubelessly it is usually full of thorns sticking through the casing

I am planning to build up a 26" full fat front , the other hub is going on a shelf!

Nice.
