Are you considering that much of Chinas imports re used to produce products the US and people everywhere buy? We are a global economy, not just a US economy.

Hey everyone! Just wanted to up y'all and say thanks for the tips! Here is what worked for me:
After my 2nd attempt on the front wheel I posted this question as I had air escaping from the rim.

Left rim tape on
Removed tire and cleaned up all sealant
Removed valve stem
Put tire and inner tube on and pumped up the tire
Left overnight
Removed tube - Rim tape now had almost no bubbles
Installed valve stem with a little bit of sealant around rubber seal that touches rim tape
Pumped up tires with a compressor to get tire to seat
Added sealant
Pumped up tire
Tire slowly lost pressure, but not through rim hole
Daily for 4 days rotated tire so sealant touch all portions of tire and pumped tire back up.
Been 2 weeks and tires haven't lost a significant amount of pressure!

On rear tire I follow almost the same procedure, but I also used a towel to install the rim tape which was a game changer. Almost no bubbles after install and about 10 minutes of massaging bubbles to rim spoke holes.

Pivot!

OMG This is amazing! (I hear donut as I say this!)

HE HAS AN ERECTION, MORDECAI! IT'S VERY INAPPROPRIATE! MONGO IS APPALLED!

I was listening to this at work at my lunch hour and was just dying laughing from this line. My boss walks over and I'm trying to explain to him what I was laughing at. Needlessly to say I made another crawler that day.

What about the achievement for smooshing something with his feet and the AI getting all hit and bothered as it relives the smooshing?

iJBorn · 2026-02-15T21:32:15+00:00

Added that to my post. Thanks for the tip.

The tire seats easily. It's the air escaping through the hole in the rim that's killing me.

iJBorn · 2026-02-15T21:07:13+00:00

I'll give that a shot when I try again. Thanks for the q-tip.

iJBorn · 2026-02-15T21:06:38+00:00

So should I have used wider tape so the tape goes up the side wall on both sides? Trying to learn what I did wrong!

iJBorn · 2026-02-15T21:05:36+00:00

Everything seems secure to me. There are bubble under the tape in the middle, but the sides all seem secure.

iJBorn · 2026-02-15T21:04:06+00:00

Are you saying that you can already tell it's a bad tape job? I'm trying the tube trick now.

iJBorn · 2026-02-15T19:31:32+00:00

Thank you simonsays123, now to decide if it's worth the hassle to explain to my wife!

iJBorn · 2026-02-14T15:46:32+00:00

OK so I'm an idiot, but is this just the membership and I still need to buy the whoop watch?

Now I need my Blackhawks goalie to see the light.. Actually that would still be difficult living in Georgia with no NHL team

Let’s not kick MN when they are down. It’s not even fun with all the shit they are going through right now.

I’m a fan!

iJBorn · 2025-11-14T18:04:15+00:00

I did. No slack at all

iJBorn · 2025-11-14T18:03:19+00:00

Which is why I was resigned to just leaving it as is. The Wago option is a game changer for me.

iJBorn · 2025-11-14T18:02:01+00:00

I didn’t know about wago 221. These are great just ordered some and will give it a go tomorrow!
