    Goatscaping and Multi-million Dollar Landscape view of the Bay Goats clearing fields at Woodside Priory School, in Portola Valley. Earlier, I checked out a potential new climbing workout loop route, in a quiet fancy neighborhood, but the RWGPS maps is incorrect, it shows a road which dead ends...

    ...Rás, Funny that you write that, because, even before reading your comment, I actually saw vehicles in a few of the photos in this set. AND... there is a person too ..."Where's Waldo/Where's Wally?" FWIW, I am on a 27" computer monitor.

    Anyone converted their Turbo Vado to tubeless tires?

    Stefan, it is so great that you ride so much, to have stories!! Love it! I am trying to do that myself. Flats happen. Regardless of tire set up. Your post made me realize I have so many unused tubes that I need to hand over to friends. I have tubes from my skinny tired road bike which is only...

    Anyone converted their Turbo Vado to tubeless tires?

    Stefan, you and Ollie can make a Tube Team. I get it. But I am also a bit surprised, as I am a mostly incompetent mechanic and have employed tubeless since my first tubeless set up with with my Santa Cruz Tallboy in 2015. and on a scale of 1 to 10. I rate my own mechanical skills at a solid 6.75...

    Anyone converted their Turbo Vado to tubeless tires?

    Allan, to prevent a potential mess, I seat the tire to the wheel before adding the sealant. The sealant can be added through the valve, with the valve core removed, with the sealant small plastic injector (Stan's), the short tube (Orange Seal) or injector tool (Park Tool, or alternative). Your...

    I wanted another cappuccino, after my own, at home, and a pastry too. Was surprised with a bit of light rain drizzle at the start. Nice uncrowded cafe. I tried the Pistachio Kouign Amann - very good! Then on the way back I see a crowd in the lot where I sometime park for road rides... I found...

    Anyone converted their Turbo Vado to tubeless tires?

    Ah, you did mean the shop-sized version, the Airshot is just a compact portable version. The key is the tire to rim combo as already mentioned above by others, and solved by the OP with a new rim....Hahah, not the solution I was expecting, but problem solved!

    Anyone converted their Turbo Vado to tubeless tires?

    I had to look up "Portable Air Tank", as the only ones I know of are connected to a large floor compressor. Though, I do not own a compressor. It seems you mean something like an Airshot tank which you fill with a regular bike floor pump? https://a.co/d/0c0A9Yhm I have been using a Lezyne...

    Anyone converted their Turbo Vado to tubeless tires?

    Let's hope you'r not jinxed DaveMatthews! Today, I pulled my manual MTB out of the garage, to prep for ride. I have tubeless tires and the front Schwalbe Racing Ray had 8 wet spots or sealant bubbles (Stan's sealant). I am not even sure where I rode it last, but thorns, cause these types of...

    @Jeremy McCreary, likely just that we are riding so much that our pads get worn quickly, and the system gets dirty. you can see in my first Before photo of my rear, the pistons are compensating for the thin pad material so, that can cause some drag. The funny thing is my rear pads in my photo...

    Haha, what a coincidence Chargeride, I was just coming on to post about my brake pad swap yesterday. But you ride through some rough stuff, so I am not surprised by the wear. My brakes were screaming like a banshee. But I also changed the rotors too - transferred from another bike. And, I got a...
