Same here,
I don't mind the extra time playing with magnets:
no more tape!

But being unable to see where the end of the spoke is in the nipple gives me cold feet.

You can't beat an mtb thread in mud ,
but I wouldn't use a tyre with less than 4/5mm left of knobs mtbing.

I was wary of them initialy,
I venture far too often in mtb territory,
go mountainaring and skiing regularly biking up.
They 'll be hard to beat.

A glowing report on Schwalbe all round tle.
I have just retired the rear,
700x35,
rider 70kg,
35 psi
no visitations.

The way it wears out is surprising,
the 2 central knobs just vanish,
the wear then slows wayyy down.
The little knobs offer incredible traction even on snow,
and icy roads.
There are 14 knobs along the paper in the picture ,
when the 4 central ones are gone,
traction then drops sharply.
Cuts are rare ,
I have pictured the worst.
I could use them on the road a little more.

Son answered,
they are ok with the use of adaptators to convert from 15 to 9mm.
They recommend Ritchey and Nukeproof.

Yes,
I have written to Son about it.

Lots of end caps,
adaptors,
to be fitted on each side of the hub by reputable companies to cater for the ever increasing variety of axles.

Are there any 15x100 to 9x100 adaptors?
I found only 12 to 9.
Anybody hoarding a Son 28 disk ?

This thread was supposed to slow down, allowing more time to a young family.
I see no such thing.
As others said,
I'm in awe each time it pops up.
Many thanks.

I bought a big bottle of stan s more than 6 years ago.
Started using it all this year,
no problems ,
no visitations all year.

The guy riding along all the tube lines!

Tonton is always a good place to start from ,
when you dig out something old.

Thanks all for all the ideas.

Usually people put the skis together,
stuck with Voile straps or similar.

Stuck to the frame,
with a good part hanging at the back to avoid banging the knees on bindings.

My set up is shorter and slimmer than skis,
with no bulge from bindings,
just minimal inserts.
I want to leave the Carradice at the back to stick the rucksack on.
The boards have to come forward
on each side of top tube,
with the edges inward to avoid injuries.
It s more balanced,
and the Carradice is interfering with the usual rear placement anyway.

I m not desperate,
I just have the skis on my back tied to the emptied rucksak.
All the stuff goes into the Carradice.
15 k max cycling.

That's what the loops for skis look like.

I 'll have a look.
I ve asked a local mountain bag company.

There are textile loops on rucksacks to hold skis,
I don't know what they are made of.
That's the only material that resist.
All the diy lines I've used gets eaten away,
even in a vertical position,
with skis stuck together.

I d like to carry skis along the top tube of my bike, making a kind of sling.
One on each side.
What kind of material will be able to resist ski edges?
How difficult is it to sew?

The sticker ,Pithioud ,
is from the biggest 70's cycling shop in Lyon.

Cap justed landed , in France.
Thanks all.
Suits me well ,I'm 57.

Thanks.

Any Euros got theirs already ?

Thanks again.
I knew Velocity had that market cornered.

Velocity is spendy!
If that s the only solution,
I will try to run the keba confrérie,
they should be ok on roads.
On the narrow side with 42 tyres.

Any suggestions for tandem 's rims.
650, 42 tyres.
Day trips.
The keba above might do,
I d like something a bit sturdier,
to be able to venture on canal path without too much worries.

Ambrosio Keba la confrerie des 650
Non tubeless.

Heavier than the VO.
Cheap and very strong.
I pushed them well into mtb territory on 32 tyres.

Only ever had 2 dogs as passengers on a bike,
both were lively,
but would chill immediately once on board.
They weren't puppies though.
This one is 11 kg,
inside a repurposed supermarket basket,
2 bungees to keep it stuck on the rack.
Lots of fast twisty descending,
and very slow uphills with this set up; never had anything to worry about.
Try things out at low speed,
in crash friendly surroundings.
@M-V forks looks ideal
