Tubeless for the win! running UST wheels with regular tires. Crossmark F and Small block 8 R. Ran out of stans after one wheel, used acrylic and whole wheat flour in the other. the flour filled the pinholes in my sidewall that were leaking before with stans. tires lose about 1-2 psi a week.

for $300 I want a 250gr, bombproof pedal that is super thin and has good concave shape
