    Tubeless Blues

    the bad part is you ahve to remove the valve and then reinstall it. I have really lucked out with tires that are easy to seat.

    Tubeless Blues

    I have had a couple tires do that. I had to put a tube in inflate it then take the tube out leaving one side of the tire seated on the rim. then it would inflate.

    I use these pails, they work for rollers and brushes. I bought ladder hooks so I can carry two up and hook them on the ladder so I don't have to hold them. Also bought the liners. Don't even have to wash the bucket, saves a huge amount of time

    I toss rollers; they are cheap enough, even for good ones, or wrap them in plastic for the next day. I used a 4" roller that fit in the paint pail along with a brush held with a magnet. I had one for gray, one for the green, with hooks to hang it from the ladder. Did the whole house in a day and...

    Tubeless Blues

    This is what it should look like the tape should just touch the sides of the rim. Yours looks like its over 1/2 the way up.

    Got this airless sprayer for a job painting these big letters I made for a customer. But it put out so much paint that it was not practical. So it sat around for the last 3 years. I finally had to break down and paint the house. I debated on painting it and painting everything gray, but I used...

    Tubeless Blues

    You have way too wide of tape. It should just be wider than the flat part of the rim. So far, only a few tires needed a tube; otherwise, my regular compressor or even my Makita cordless compressor have been fine. I have some Schwalbe tires that could be inflated with a hand pump and hold air for...

    Any negatives to buying a Bulls older model like Bulls Iconic Evo TR 2 ?

    bulls is not great about warranty issues, they make you go to the manufacturer of whatever part breaks if its not the frame. I have three gen 2 and gen 4 bikes with no usses.

    Ode to the Trek Allant+ 8s

    I thought about it, but the only two dealers, one was 15 or more miles away by bike, so not practical The other is a high-end shop, but you can only ride the bike around the parking lot so no way to test it. Plus with two bosch bikes I had batteries that would fit it.

    Ode to the Trek Allant+ 8s

    Well, not sure you can blame Trek for your upgrades. That's a personal thing. Getting rid of the stock tires and going tubeless has made the bike a smoother ride. My bull's bike with a decent air fork is still a harsher ride. But this bike is not an off-road bike. but yes the cobi turned out to...

    That would be like using vice grips to remove a tiny sliver for what I am doing. hell, its leverage is longer than the actual part.

    The nails hold the part in place while it is cut, but they lift up easily when done.. Then I can pull the nail out from the back, the nails don't have much head on them. There are a lot of them in that sawdust. I have a nail gun that shoots plastic nails that you can just break off. But they are...

    I got the long guys for leverage. It makes the nails come out easily. I must have removed 500 nails today. I used to use flush cutters, but having those long handles makes a huge difference. I was cutting them off, but it leaves a stub. The new tool is actually less work to pull them out than my...

    Yes better than ryobi. I liked the weight better than the Makita nailers. This gun I use to nail small parts down on my cnc router so they don’t come loose while I am cutting them.
