    Your Opinion Of The Ventist Seat Pad

    I have used two Ventisit Comfort pads, one sized for the Vendetta stock seat and the other for a Thor seat. Both have been very comfortable and provide excellent ventilation, winter or summer. Shorts and tights do tend to wear more quickly.

    Yesterday, with both Schwalbe Pro One tires at 90psi, I was on a ride headed north on Bosque Road, out of Canutillo, Tx.. My attention wandered as did my front wheel and suddenly I was riding in dirt and weeds. Both wheels were covered with goat head thorns. Each tire had 3 or 4 punctures...

    Question about mounting tubeless tires

    Concerning the seating woes with your tubeless tires. Hang the wheel a short distance off the ground with a bungee cord so the tire is not distorted by contact with the ground. Since that discovery my tubeless tires seat easily. These boards have reports of using inner tubes to help seat...
