Re: Question from a newbie to tubeless
Thanks all. :-bd I got a big and a small bottle of stan's (as that's the brand that was in stock). I plan to use the small bottle to dispense the sealant into the tyre via the valve. There's not been sealant in the tyre before so mixing brands is no issue. If that fails when I try tomorrow, I'll get...

Question from a newbie to tubeless
So, my fat bike has come from the dealer set up as tubeless. Getting it out of the garage for a pre- gravel dash fettle I find I have a flat front tyre Having removed the valve core there is, as expected, no sign of sealant. I'd rather not break the head of the tyre as I'd struggle to get enough air...

A tow. Now there's a thought. Goes off to consider how to fit it to self and/ or bike.
I did ponder the tarp option whilst purchasing it, but decided it'd probably try and take off in any wind

Re: I need volunteers to tell me about off-road cycling even
Matt's post has set me thinking.
If anyone lives in the SE but happily travels to other ares of the country then please volunteer
I'd originally been asked to exclude people in the SE, but if you ride in other areas, than that's good enough for me
Thanks,
Nick

I had a little bit of bracket slippage on the WRT. Nothing a regular slight reposition and re-tighten didn't solve. But to make it a bit better-er, and because I noticed one of the threads is a bit iffy, I'm going to drill out the threaded holes and use longer bolts (just going through the bracket a...

Everything including quiet lanes, gravel, mud, bog and tussocky dea...
