Tubeless conversion
Ghetto conversion with
Alex DP20 rim on rear with Kenda Small block 8 folding 2.35. - the bead set as soon as I put it on at the servo.
Kmart $4 20" tube - was cut down the middle for a rim strip.
Nitto electrical tape 18mm - spoke tape. wrapped nice and tight.
Brushing Latex $40 mixed with Windex and water.
Running 35psi on the back with tube, so wondering how low I could go for a 95kg rider + gear.
DIY Servicing
Not to sound cheap (because really I am) but the cost of servicing my beloved is more than servicing my Subaru!!
Without mentioning LBS names, but some places charge up to $230 for a full service and thats without brake, drivetrain and shock servicing, which is all I need really.
So my question is, is whether there is anyone out there that has converted the garage/shed/outback loo/treehouse etc to a workshop and knows enough of the know to help service a few of our rigs and also teach us some jedi mind tricks in the process involved with it.
All for a competitive fee of course ...
DIY Carbon Fibre
This is a bit interesting... how to build a carbon fibre frame. Not sure it's worth it, but interesting all the same.
Craig's DIY Lights
Here are the sneak pics of my new lights that are in practical completion and very very close to a test ride. Well they are in the lighting section in the gallery once moderated.
There are so many new parts and construction ideas that the final completion tends to drag on.
I know I know, incorporate the fixes into second set.
I will give details of the parts and build process in later posts.
Cheers
Craig
