Mastery. Stop making me laugh in the office.
-
A nice surprise to see you too after such a long time. Sorry I couldn't fulfil the skid request, but this a temporary issue, normal service will be resumed soon. Hope you enjoyed the rest of your journey!
-
Good call. Will dig mine out later #ithankyou
-
Maybe
-
No way. Does look good though, and Drummond rarely does anything near LDN these days 😪
-
@Velocio black logo time sadly
-
Can we have a national fixie day?
-
Hello! It took me a second to twig what the whisper was, before you'd RLJd off, although kudos to you for trackstanding a Boris Bike.
-
What tyres are they, and more importantly, are they tubeless capable?
-
Cheers. Had seen that thread, but wanted to have a centralised reference thread, but will give it a shot.
-
Cheers, been on Knog's website, somewhere nr Tower Bridge Road is a stockist, so will have a gander there. Cheers for the info.
-
Where in LDN actually stocks Knog lights? Evans etc. list them on websites, but only have pretty much their own range in store.
-
There are few threads on here regarding making deliveries for Uber Eats, Deliveroo and the like, but none have had much recent engagement, so I thought it easier to aggregate opinion in one place, and hopefully, given the recent changes in the pay structures etc., get a more accurate idea of the state of the industry and its potential as viable employment.
Please leave your experiences here, as I'm keen to consider it as a potential 'nice little earner'.
Cheers

Cool.
Yes, I tried everything else. Glue, anchovies etc, but nothing was straightfoward (IMHO), but the patches work great because the pressure ensures a perfect seal. Just make sure the area is clean for a good contact.

And if you're not using this

You should. Much better at filling holes at high pressure. I understand your frustration, but sadly with the whole tubeless thing still being in its relative infancy, it's very much a learning experience for most of us. -
Brompton update; Turns out the air escaping wasn't down to my shonky taping. I stanley-knifed any tape that was creeping up the rim so there was no chance it could be preventing a good seal, but still the air seeped out through the tyre bead. So, next course of action is another tyre, maybe a non-folding variety this time (in case that's the problem).
Yeah, CSB. -
Yeah, I don’t think daily pumping up is an option I want to persevere with. That said, at least once the sealant has dried, it’s a touch more airtight. Still not ideal though.
-
More like a forensic examination. Need to work out where the leak was coming from. Am hoping it's quite obvious/straightforward and not something as lame as a porous tyre.
-
I went for the A23s as they're sold as being tubeless ready, although I think that's more applicable for the 700c market, though I'm hoping the rim design is still the same. One day in the future maybe Schwalbe will come out with a tubeless ready Marathon Plus, but for now it would be nice to see if I can get away with a semi-ghetto workaround.
But yeah, without sealant it's a no-go and even then, there just isn't the familiar 'pop' when the tyre inflates, even with a compressor. I'm really hoping the autopsy points towards bad taping on my part.
(edited for poor grammar)
-
Yep, I hoped they'd be a good fit. Not so sure now. Even if it holds, it looks like I'll get about 100 miles before the first puncture. Might try a Marathon Plus instead.
-
Not well. Was flat the next day. I think it's probably more to my taping qualities, though it did seem to hold well at the time. To be honest, it was only the sealant that was making it anywhere near airtight. Without that, there was too much seepage around the rim. I think my taping was a bit shite in places, which might have resulted in a bad fit on parts of the rim. I need to have a post-mortem, but I was quite gutted next day to find it flat. Hopefully I don't have to resort to a tube.
-
For the benefit of any other curious early adopters, this is a Kojak on a Brompton Velocity A23, holding 100 psi. Am yet to test ride it, but if the next update comes from hospital you can come to your own conclusions.
Edit: Was flat next day (see comment further down).
