I suppose I should have spelled out that if a piece of wire had punctured a tubed tire filled with a proper dose of sealant, and had been pulled out, there's no reason not to expect the exact same results Tom had with his tubeless tire. It's not a question of yay tubeless it's yay sealant. TT

Hello from Music City. I don't think I was aware of front duallies on a bike before. I read up a little on the Rungu site and understand the reasoning for them now. Are you mostly riding off-road? 1500 miles is pretty good for 6 months! TT

The exact same thing would have happened with a tubed tire dosed with Slime or FlatOut. or Stan's, if it has a formulation for tubes. TT

How do you tell them apart? I have no tubeless tires and no Presta valves. What is it about the OP's picture that indicates his tire has a tube? Genuine question. And since it's already a point of discussion, I agree with the others that there was no reason for the all caps and bold...

Yeah, maybe. Or maybe you get it calibrated or check it against another torque wrench. They're generally going to be at least as accurate as guessing. But, like I said, I don't think they're needed for a lot of regular stuff. At least one of my torque wrenches has about a 6-inch handle...

I dunno. A lot of people are heavy-handed. If you have a torque wrench, why not use it? But I have torque wrenches and don't use them most of the time. There are times when they're worth breaking out though. And if I didn't already have about all the torque tools I need, I might use a new...

The thing about sealants is that they can prevent flats. Who knows what percentage of the time, but many times you'll have a puncture and not know it because FlatOut, or whatever, seals the leak. You never even know. The serious punctures you're talking about, that need human intercession...

Maybe just anecdotal, but I've found that having broken a tough bead once, it's a lot easier to break the next time. TT

It can happen, but it's not common. Gravity usually directs the stuff elsewhere. And if a valve does get clogged, it will often just blow out. Worst case, remove the valve core and wash it or replace it. TT

I can't speak to some of your specifics, and I use Slime, but FlatOut seems to be a great product. I don't see why high pressures would be a problem and I don't see anything on FlatOut's website that says it only works below X PSI. I would certainly use it, or another tire sealant, regardless...

You might need to adjust the circumference of your tires in your controller. Or, it may be that your bike is only calculating moving time, not overall time. As you say, it's probably not a big enough deal to worry about a lot. If either of my ideas apply you will probably not ever get a...

You don't want to have the brakes and the motor working a cross-purposes, so pulling the brake levers will cut off the motor. I think Jeremy is cautioning you not to ride the brakes. TT

About this size?

I drove about 200 miles to see it, watching the clouds all the way. It was totally overcast off and on, so I was worried, but when I got to the centerline of the eclipse in Illinois there were nothing but high thin wisps that didn't interfere with the show at all. This was my second, and it...

Yeah, well, I understand what you're saying, but from what's visible in the pics I've seen there was nothing, or very close to nothing, between the Dali and the bridge. Nothing is going to be 100%, but in hind sight, it sure seems like some massive rock islands, or something along those lines...

The way the Dali is loaded, does anyone know how much clearance it was going to have if it had successfully made it under the bridge? Tugs seem like a good idea, but better armor, so to speak, on the bridge approaches would probably be less expensive in the long run. There are a lot of factors...

I have no help other than to suggest you edit the subject line, or at least explain what OTET means. that might explain why no one else has replied. Google maps let's you choose bikes as your transportation mode. that might be a starting point. TT

Nice, but I might have edited it a little differently. :rolleyes:

Good thoughts, but I'm not sure how many people interpret a "ding" as "get the hell outa my way!". I imagine some people do.... but I think a simple ding is mostly taken as a polite and good-natured, "on your left". As far as getting the job done, I think any old bell, including the very...

Huh? What's going to leak and make the tire go flat with a tubed tire? The tube. Will Stan's seal the tube from the outside? I'm very skeptical. And I suppose there's a way to get the Stan's between the tire and the tube, but so far my imagination is only showing me an incredibly messy...
