Feelin' a bit rrranty
I’m all about Rimpact. Easy to fit, way lighter than CC but still actual meaningful rim protection compared to the little flat strip style ones. I bought a mixed set and have the Pro in the back of the enduro bike and Classic or whatever it’s called in the back of the XC bike - even easy to fit in a 2.25” XC tyre.

Levin the moment
apart from weird sizes (13x15xt, 8.1x11.1xt), anything special about them? nylon?
I get mine from army disposals.

Where do you get the aglets?

Don't know, through you can buy them it seems but I'd just persevere with threading through without the aglets. Only gotta do it twice (2 shoes)

Merry fucking Xmas to you assholes
Gravel ok? If so, there's lots of good stuff around St Albans and Wiseman's ferry up into the hunter.

Bootlace crimps?
Bee this a native bee hive or paper wasp nest. I thought the latter but based on the structure leaning towards the former. Brought down in a storm this week but looked abandoned anyway.
past st albans its probably a bit much. might try and make another day out where we park at wisemans ferry and go back via webbs creek. only a short stretch of gravel that way. did a road trip down the princes hwy recently and was rather taken with the idea of the east gippsland rail trail and others for short breaks

Thanks all for the suggestions! I ended up getting a Tannus Armour, found it for $69 at bikeonline
Installation was toooo bad. Hardest part was the last few cm's and massaging the tyre+insert so there is no wobble etc

Well hello peeps, I have a couple frames with horizontal dropouts.
Would these stop the dreaded wheel slide in the frame when breaking heavily.
Qr sucks in them so wondering if these would work like better. Thanking you for any help

They're more for anti-theft, you're meant to use a torque wrench on them also as the thread strips easily if over-tightened.Well hello peeps, I have a couple frames with horizontal dropouts.

I think you need one of these hubs, they work both on QR and horizontal frames.

I used those a long time ago (there was a time when halo items were available on crc for crazy prices) and made it to the end of my street before they failed. I can't guarantee it wasn't user error, but I am pretty sure I set them up correctly. I was jibbing along the street giving them a good testing when...fuck me! Between the popping and the jamming my breaks it came real loose. I would recommend finding some chain tensioners that go in the drop outs.
