Flat

[Don1]

I do run a tmps on my clone. It's Schrader valve though and had to drill out my rims to suit. So make a decision about how safe that might be. Buy on AliExpress for au$40. Or spend the $200 on tirewiz for French valve. Anyways it's saved me a couple times with slow leaks, information on speed for pressure and how pressure and temperature changes as you ride. Has alarms for pressure loss etc. Might have to balance the wheel with sticking weights from a golf shop....(hardest part was finding suitable tubeless valve's)

Crashing is the best training for learning how to not crash.

Crashing is a crash course.
Please don't crash!

I want a lightweight, non-bulky, and cheaper pressure sensor that delivers a loud warning if pressure drops below a set value.

Now the price just needs to come down : https://www.sram.com/en/quarq/models/wh-trwz-a1

I've had a front tire blow out on V2.0 from a sharp rock during an all-out, high speed, flat and straight sprint at night. The bike just keeled over fast with no way to control it. It was weird as it was in slo motion in my head but went down fast in real time. I think it was a few seconds from hitting rock till the crash. Wind noise was too great to hear hiss if any.

Totally paranoid after this thread. Stopped twice today thinking I heard a rupture. Nope.

My Grasshopper has Tannus. Pneumatic is definitely a nicer ride, but the one fun thing about Tannus is aiming at a load of broken glass, shouting "Bollocks to the Puncture Fairy!"

Nah, that’s just our normal bladderhead. Now if he posted something unzaney - then I would worry.

Lockdown is fine by me. Has not affected me one bit. Enjoying it.

I took the Q out for a ride through town after (tele)work yesterday. I came up on one street where there was random debris left from a fallen tree. Of course this is what came to mind as I dodged bits of wood. I didn't shout it (this time).

Of course if you here the rapture, slow down to save the paintwork....

 

[3bs]

more accurately save the skin.....lol

If you hear the rapture, it's already too late.

 

[bladderhead]

If you hear the Rapture it is too late for you unless you believe. Is the virus one of the Last Signs?

I had my first flat on my Vendetta. Front wheel, going about 20 mi/hr on a city street. A catastrophic sidewall failure on a very new tire, so more pop than fizz. By the time I came to a stop most of the air was gone. So, nothing unpredictable or scary, and no loss of control. Maybe I was just luckier than some, and no doubt ANY flat is an adventure on ANY bike if you're hammering through a curve. What it did teach me though - and others have mentioned it - always check your tires before a ride, and maybe even 'during' the longer ones.
