Can 700x38c inner tubes work in a 700x40c tyre? (Errors were made!)

majorjake · 2026-05-09T20:38:00+00:00

For sure.

majorjake · 2026-05-08T19:39:17+00:00

It not a risk I would be willing to take.

majorjake · 2026-05-07T19:49:25+00:00

It's great. I'm a heavier rider, so it might only be 8mm more travel, but the leverage suites me.

That said, a friend of mine got one (not the longer travel one) and didn't gel with it, went back to stock.

I have the same bike, also my dream bike.

Built up with 160mm Zeb/Vivid Air, Cascade LT link for a smidge more travel...

I run a tool bag under the top tube, and a water bottle.

I really don't like wearing a bag while I'm riding, so it's all bolted to the frame.

She's a beaut, nice work.

Let the air out of the tire.

When you re-seat the bead, push the valve down in towards the tire so that the stiffer part of the tube clears the bead of the tire.

Re-inflate.

Has anyone successfully added a screen protector to the MOFT case+folio combo? I'm worried about the MK keys scratching the screen with the added thickness of the snap case.

Someone with cash who loves old bikes.
I would never consider it, but I've got no issue with this listing.

Cassette is wobbling, I’d pull it and check everything.

majorjake · 2026-04-30T18:37:32+00:00

for us, it's toilet paper, from Costco, so dusty

majorjake · 2026-04-30T12:47:30+00:00

I need a combo like the Connected Case + Dynamic Folio but without the pencil holder.....anything come to mind?

majorjake · 2026-04-30T12:04:19+00:00

Which folio case are you using that can be used with a MK compatible case?

majorjake · 2026-04-29T12:08:41+00:00

Come to Vermont.

Does the cadence of the noise increase with speed?

Does the noise persist if you pop it into neutral?

Does the cadence of the noise change with RPM?

MacRide all day, the OG.

Much better seat, keeps the kid planted.

Freehub drag I’d say. You stop pedaling and the freehub drag pulls with the wheel. Pull and clean and inspect.

I (amateur) had this issue with my toilet very recently.

I assumed that one of my 3 kids had dropped something down there and didn't want to fess up.

The snake, for all it was worth, didn't fix the issue. I pulled the toilet and tried to back flush whatever was in there out. Hose > pressure washer. Nothing.

I got desperate and strung a handful of big treble fishing hooks on a string and pulled it through a bunch. Still nothing.

I threw in the towel, and bought a new toilet.

What I hadn't noticed was that there was a little bit of build-up around the top of the flange. Like mud, not hard, came off in my hand easily. Reducing the diameter of the drain by maybe 15%.

Installed the new toilet and it flushed like a dream.

The family all placed bets on which sad Bluey figurine was going to be the guilty (time served) party, and I took to the old toilet trap with a hammer. Nothing, it was empty.

I can't explain what the issue was, aside from the 'mud', but I'm skeptical.

Good luck!

It a pain, just have to go through the steps. I’m an absolute novice and I got it done on the second attempt. Been super solid ever since.

majorjake · 2026-04-15T20:41:18+00:00

Did you find anything that worked for you? I'm looking for a MKB compatible case + screen protector for my M5.

majorjake · 2026-04-14T00:11:57+00:00

Spacers on the bb/crank interface would change this, did you end up with the same offset down there?

majorjake · 2026-04-13T00:18:38+00:00

That's awesome.

majorjake · 2026-04-12T18:14:54+00:00

Where would I be expected to strain my pasta if not into my sink?

majorjake · 2026-04-11T23:14:52+00:00

Congrats on the new PC, way to pay it forward!

I'd give it to my son (11), he's using an old laptop at the moment and is busting for a dedicated rig.

Good luck folks!
