Looked like plastic, but will have a look again tonight when I get home. Thanks Minlak :) With the gaffa, are you meant to strip it with a blade so its width matches the internal diameter of the rim, or just wrap it first then cut away the excess later? Thanks 101 :) Also, this is a general...

Hey guys, Sorry to rehash an old thread, but I've recently gotten a XTC 29er with the pxcr1's, and would like to know if anyone has successfully converted to tubeless without the rim strips? I didn't get any when I bought the bike (not from store). So, that is, just the tape, Stans goo and...

Thanks for this post Rotorfreeze! Had Monday off, so thought I'd check out the trails you mapped out, and I must say I was pretty impressed with the singletrack, especially given we're in the middle of suburbia. The 2 downhills were pretty fun, and I didn't really see many walkers around in...

Gday all For the last 3 months, I've been riding a borrowed 07 Avanti Vivace, and I have just today had to return it.. I'm on the market for a similar bike, as I've become quite used to it, and was wondering if there were any equivalents in the same price range.. (approx $1500).. I've...
