My sons been riding his bike a heap lately now we've moved closer to his school mates. I know the old reba's are way overdue for a service and noticed there's a bit of slop in the bushings. Can anyone tell me if these are the ones that you can tap down a little in the lowers to tighten them up?
Also I noticed he's lost the rebound adjuster, I know I can adjust them with an allen key but it would be nice to replace it. Is this a unicorn part?

New bike time.

What tape are people using for ghetto tubeless setups?

 

[dirtdad]

^^ I use ye olde blue bear tape for any tubeless setup. More layers if you need it.


Anyone used invisiframe UK for decals or frame skins? Or know of a good local decal maker (looking for 240 EXP in different colour, maybe dpx2 shock)

Invisiframe frame skins yes, they're quite good. Well cut with minimal gaps. Gloss ones seem marginally tougher than matt finish but show minor scratches/swirls more.

I've wondered about using similar (Mylar) material for rim-tape, but suspect it would be too thick (and be an absolute turd to remove!).

For rims that aren't designed to be tubeless. I can use the word 'hack' if you like..

Tape it up well, shouldn't be an issue with good sealant and TR tyres. Only asked, coz back in the day, true ghetto used an old tube, cut, and lining the rim. Some now call ghetto just cutting out a valve from a tube and using that, stuck in instead of a tubeless valve.

So...is there a little no of some sort between DHL and Australia Post? Chain reaction sent a parcel via DHL that I collected from the post office that had labels from both...

The crank bros ones that I have dont use any tape, soooo easy to tubeless them.
Who said that crank bros are no good.
And super strong, haven't bent them in the first 2 rides
