Definitely. Foul weather is perfect for my physique

Weather looking very similar to the UK this time. Bit damn around the edges, but still nice enough to ride and not get completely filthy.

Bike still looks 👌

No more messing around now.

Hubbahubba.
A fine choice.

Oh yes.

Fanboi!
I am slightly jealous. Those are good looking tires.

Don’t be jealous of the hole in my hand.

They do look quite good though.

Pictures or it didn't happen (please)

Of the hole in my hand, or the tyres?

Planning on mounting them tomorrow.

Na it's more that I would feel self conscious with such good-looking/non black contact patches.
They might look incredible on my pale purple polyvalent though.
Unfortunately I bought rather nice but boring black terrene tires before the sex symbol of recreational cycling started designing tires.

Tyres, really. Definitely don't need to see the hole in your hand, that sounds uncomfortable.

They're on. Tubeless setup was super easy (especially when you have a friend do it).

We did a 60k loop after fitting them, and they ride really great. But would I ever admit otherwise? In any case, I'm very happy with them!

Lovely jubbly

Popping!

Spot on!

The tissue around the valve trick is great.

Is that a personal workshop or retail workshop?

I've not heard this trick before and am having my first go at setting tyres up tubeless tomorrow. How does it work?

First picture here, poke a hole in a tissue and put it around the valve to save yourself cleaning off the sealant you spill.

I’ve found a large syringe with a short tube attachment that gets dunked into the valve stem is pretty spill-resistant.

@PhilDAS: Starts googling. Thank you!

@Josh: His personal workshop. Very envious.

@Tijmen: "There’s more to the tissue trick.

Before putting the valve core back in, roll up a corner of the paper towel to wipe off the sealant on the inside of the valve. Otherwise you will get sticky valve cores (applying a little grease also helps).

And you can make the hole with the valve itself."

And thanks all, for the nice comments!

Simple but effective! Thanks.

Looking great. I really like that tread profile.

Great workshop setup too!

Proper job that
