Must Start to finish

[trplay]

Pretty simple. Lay the bike on its side. Sit down, remove the skewer, remove the wheel, fix the flat. Stand up, ride home and switch to tubeless.

Has anyone tried those Gaadi tubes?

really miss the type 2 sram rear mech with lockout. it was much easier pulling a front wheel out with the xo mech compared to the new shimano ultegra long cage i have now fitted to the new bike.

I also do miss that type#2 RD lockout. It should just be standard on every derailleur in my book.
But since I wax my chain now and don't have all that grease to deal with, I don't hesitate just to pull the chain off first when I am taking the front wheel off. It makes it so much easier.
With taking it on and off the trainer so much, I can swap a wheel pretty fast now, even with pulling the chain off and putting it back on.

Remind me, which wax are you using. Thanks.

Pretty sure it's https://moltenspeedwax.com. Which reminds me I have to rotate the chains on the trainers; 1000 miles on them; and just a little wax on the floor.

Correct Ratz!
I don't rotate or re-wax mine until I hear then squeaking a little - maybe that's bad, but it's hard for me to keep track of the mile.
Plus outdoor miles I think are a little bit harder on the wax - especially when it is either raining or really humid.
I think the MoltenSpeed wax folks say to rewax every 400 miles for training chains and 200 for race chains, but I spoke directly with the owner and he pretty much said it needed it when you could hear the first little squeak.

They must be good, as they are an AUSSIE product! or at least sold by an Aussie!

They only come in 700 * 32-37, 700*38-47, or 26"*1.9"-2.1" so for low pressure MTBs, or Ebikes!

On Amazon they are also available in 700 28-35, so it would appear they may be suitable for at least a 'get me home' tube for my 28mm tubeless tires in case of a flat, which I hope never happens. They seem to be made by a European company called Rubena, from what I can find out.

I am wondering if anyone has experience with them. They have delirious reviews on Amazon.
