Hulsroy's Hustle

@AlexD I do not want to risk our brand integrity ;)

Don't sweat it. This is why I share my work.

I need a 35mm Salsa Lip-lock.

Any Finnish friends know if this website is ok to order from? https://www.velobia.fi/salsa-lip-lock-35-mm-seat-collar

Yeah it's good, I have friends working there.

Thanks dude. Ordered one.

So good.

cor, that's very brilliant

So Basicallly I want to do the same as I did on Jesper's but where I don't fill it up completly and file it flat (see attached photo), but rather leave the "fishmouth" open like on my MTB Konga yoke:

Yeah, that @Hulsroy guy does pretty decent work...

Sometimes I also do weird wonky work

Edit: who is that character @spotter?

Weird, wonderful, wonky work

Excellent!

Thanks. Fingers crossed it works

Ah, Pob, strange program, saw one with Brian Blessed in it, surreal Sunday morning TV, and that's before I started with the weed.

The resemblance is truly uncanny, isn't it?

Last night I managed to setup some Conti Speed Kings tubeless.
They are not made for tubeless and the super light casing doesn't hold air at all. But they pop on the rim alright and gets seated quickly so I thought it was worth giving it a shot.

Basically I painted two layers of natural latex to the insides and let cure before mounting to the rims again. Then filled it with 75mm sealant and boom. I got tubeless tires. Very happy as I absolutely love Speed Kings and find it sad that they don't come tubeless.
Hopefully the latex doesn't change the feel of the tyres too much.

deep wheels looking banging

That looks bonkers (in the utterly positive sense)

Thanks. Yeah it is a bit silly. Rear rim is @hippy 's old from TCR maybe? So a bit of a spirit animal

Ha, I tubeless'd a set of non tubeless Conti tyres a couple years back by just pouring sealant into the valve and taking them for a quick spin until they didn't go soft overnight. Took a week I think. Great tyres, really miss that bike.

TransAm and a TCR.

Spirit animal?

I had a good 65km test ride two days ago. Tarmac gravel 50/50.
I felt fast on the tarmac and like floating on the gravel.
The front mech band on and the lack of clearance on the rear wheel created some issues when it got muddy at one point. But it was aneasy fix.
Think I'll go for 32c tyres next time or find a way to move the rear wheel back a bit. But that requires me making a new chain tug thingy.
