    As a cyclist on a budget I have for some time embraced the theory that if you can't be stylish dress for the amusement of those who love to spend their money on fashion. It also has the advantage of embarrassing your children. My daughter understood this though when she bought me skeleton and iron man jerseys. Certainly when you are the shape I was and probably still am, lycra has to be worn with tongue firmly in cheek. I'll never be fast but I a;ways have fun on the bike!

I would ride my bike from the "flight line"after a day phixin Phantoms and have a few beers with the guys but, a couple of times I had to "happy" happy hour and kinda got pulled over by the SP's(I was passed out on the curb half way home) they loaded me and the bike in the cop car and drove me home, at least that what my buddies told me.

  • @WildOutdoorLiving
    @WildOutdoorLiving 2 года назад

    I uploaded a video on how to seat tires using the strap method a few years ago. Id had great success with it and while it’s well known in the automotive world it’s less known in cycling. It absolutely works and my commenters have also had great success with it.
    I personally prefer to use a rubber rim strip/liner or an inner tube as the stretch to get out of the way and I usually have one lying around. A strap like that works well but anything you can find will do the job.
    Yes it can slip off the side of the tire but it’s not a big problem, just put it back on and try again.
    Some tires are more difficult than others, you may still need to remove the valve core, spray soapy water, use an air compressor or all of the above in extreme cases. I started experimenting with the strap method when all the traditional tricks had failed. - Hope this helps. I’m glad to see others will be adding it to their bag of tricks.

    In Hack/Bodge, for the bike stand that had a base of a car wheel on a board with casters, the shaft part looks like it was the base of a barber chair. The bar at the bottom looks like it is the foot pump that raises the chair, which is now replaced by the horizontal bike rack. To lower it, it looks like the small handle at the top of the shaft would release pressure.

    The strap around the tyre to help inflate it. I've something similar 40 years ago to seat tubeless car tyres when they would seat.

    Good news Si, one does not need to buy a strap to seat tubeless tires. I have been using the same piece of duct tape, doubled over on itself, for years. Works great.

    Si's eyewear looks like a throwback to 1984. (large lenses) They remind me of the original Oakley and Bollé edge sunglasses. The newer Oakley Mumbo and Bollé micro edge destroyed the "bad taste" of those sunglasses.
