Yesterday you didn't have a repair stand or a way to keep air in that tire. Today there's a video of you with a repair stand showing people how to properly add sealant and air to a tubeless tire. Nice work!  Joe Bernard On Wednesday, January 20, 2021 at 2:39:00 PM UTC-8 Bicycle Belle Ding

Oh neat, looking forward to hearing feedback on that setup. I would have probably gone the other way with some knobby tires and keeping the upright setup (upright for me is swept bars but I like them ~level with the saddle), but it all depends on what you've got available to ride on! -- You

I"m disappointed, but not surprised. I'm hoping to get mine Mermaid Blue by springtime in the east, and if I love it as much as BBDD, it will be my retirement bike. I'm working out the last details with Analog Cycles this week, so they can start ordering parts. The plan is already-anodized

Thank you so much, everyone! I’m set, and it feels so good. I went to REI today and got the Feedback Sports Sport Mechanic Repair Stand. It’s quality, as best I can tell. Got home, ripped it out of the box and set it up so do a tubeless sealant refresh. This was what went disastrously for me

Efficient Velo Tools makes a stand with a pulley and counterweight that allows you to put the clamp on the bike while it is on the floor, then raise it. Down sides - $2750, eight month wait, and NOT portable. https://www.efficientvelo.com/tools/ez-lift-repair-stand I want one, but will have

I have 2 stands - a Park and an old Blackburn. Currently each has a bike in it, and that's true more often than not. But I also have 2 short loops of sewn webbing (rock climbing slings, actually) hanging from eye bolts in my basement ceiling joists that get as much use as my stands. I use 2

Hi Leah, I am currently selling my two bike stands: one is the one Riv sells (about 2 years old); the other, a Feedback mid range model (about 6-8 years old?). I'm selling them locally because shipping would be a downside (I would think at least $40), but I'm open to negotiation. They're both
