[RBW] Re: steps to mount a tire / tubeless is easy?

Tom, you could ride around on granite tires and be fine. You're super fit and probably think stumps make good pillows! I hope to see you this summer, I'll start carving some new tires for you. -james On Friday, April 17, 2020 at 10:56:54 AM UTC-4, Tom Horton wrote: > > all this tubeless

Should have added: Low gears for exploring, wide tires for taking the road less traveled, fenders if it's gross out, good tool kit, good first aid kit. On Monday, April 20, 2020 at 12:00:19 PM UTC-4, James / Analog Cycles wrote: > > I find it's pretty easy (ok really easy) to ov
