Gotta make sure the wife doesn't have anything planned for us, but I'm down. Where do you wanna go?

Made it to the top of Potato Hill before I turned around. Sweet Holy Moses but I'd forgotten how brutal the climb on that service road is.

I'm available tomorrow afternoon if anyone wants to go for a scoot

I know it's short notice and a weekday, but Josh and I are going to shuttle laps in LCC tomorrow morning.

Not until I get my tire replaced. I patched it again, but I'm not going the do anything fast with this

Bike shop right at the mouth of little Wink

I have a tire for you, Eric. If you can ride, I'll bring it.

by TRD270 Tue May 29, 2018 6:42 pm

I'll pull the tire off my 29er if you can ride

by frieed Tue May 29, 2018 7:46 pm

What time? If you're thinking 8am or earlier I can go before work. If so, Kevin, bring your tire.

by **Kevin** Tue May 29, 2018 7:54 pm

We're meeting at 0800 at the parking lot at the mouth of Little Cottonwood, planning to shuttle Quarry until our legs fall off. I'll bring the tire.

I'm almost tempted to try my fix. I glued a piece of inner tube to the sidewall and then reinforced with 3 layers of fiberglass strapping tape. So far it's held 30 psi.

by frieed Tue May 29, 2018 8:06 pm

Oh, and I'm in for tomorrow.

by **Kevin** Tue May 29, 2018 8:40 pm

Try it. It's on the rear and you've got a tube inside, so it won't be a disaster if it lets go. Quarry is right on the road the whole way so if it blows you just hang out and we'll come get ya.

I'll know in the morning, but I think I finally got a tire to hold air, ghetto tubeless. Trick was tubeless-ready tires and a little grease on the valve stem cork.

by frieed Tue May 29, 2018 8:57 pm

ok, so school me again. Why is tubeless so great?

by **Kevin** Tue May 29, 2018 9:19 pm

Self sealing but lighter weight than a slime tube, run lower PSI without risking a pinch flat. I'm going to add a ghetto CushCore setup which should strengthen the sidewalls and let me run an even lower PSI.

by **Kevin** Wed May 30, 2018 2:03 pm

Quarry is fun. Chunky AF with some sandy flat-out sections to spice it up. Lots of hiking and biking traffic, we'll start earlier next time.

by TRD270 Thu May 31, 2018 11:59 pm

Nick is threatening to ride Saturday morning, so probably go break him in on Ann's if anyone wants to come enjoy an easy climb. Though i'll probably be without Nick Razz

by **Kevin** Fri Jun 01, 2018 8:48 am

Ian has his team practice out at Eagle Mountain at 0900 Saturday, so if I ride that's where I'm going to be.

by **Kevin** Sat Jun 02, 2018 1:42 pm

I made this triangle bag yesterday, and I rode EaMo this morning with nothing on my back and nothing in my pockets. It was awesome.

by **dutchman** Sat Jun 02, 2018 7:01 pm

You stitch that together?

by **Kevin** Sun Jun 03, 2018 7:25 am

I have a benchtop thread injector, yes. I even almost know how to use it.

by frieed Sun Jun 03, 2018 7:50 am

My wife has an embroidery machine, you should come up with a good Olaf Logo. I suggest a bicycle with a large band-aid on it.

by **dutchman** Sun Jun 03, 2018 5:26 pm

Kevin, I think I might need one.
