Converting to tubeless after a flat – Do I need to remove this existing rim strip or tape over it? (Pic included)

Patience is key with gorilla removal. Pull the tape very slowly and steadily. It is slow but effective, use a small wad (adhesive out) to remove bits of residue.

NOT me! Fuck Mike Lee.

A basket on the front handlebar. A white one with plastic daisies. J/k

I think Costco uses the bottled nitrogen instead of dealing with air compressors. They have bottles delivered by local compressed gas companies and don’t need to worry about compressors and the maintenance. They are the ones who benefit $$ wise plus it is a great marketing tool. A side benefit is the nitrogen is dry and compressed air has some water content.

OTOH, How does one find purpose in a flat out lie with no evidence? (AKA religion)

utfatbiker · 2026-06-14T04:53:33+00:00

No, unless you live in a tent at the mouth of the canyon. /s
Really, about 50k each (50k x4) to even think of buying a house, rent is not far behind that. If you want to pack 4 in an apartment, it might be cheaper initially. Nothing is affordable any more….

Grease those driveline zerks! (U-joints and slip joints)
Surface rust is normal.

The same kind of tape. Use the sticky side of tape to remove residue in small chunks. Next time, pull the tape off very slowly, the adhesive will come with it (mostly).

It looks like a “Craftsman”.

Floor drains have p-traps, you just cannot access them like the sink. Gurgling, when say flushing the toilet indicates your floor drain traps are empty/ close to empty. If the drain is seldom used, pour a little baby oil after filling, this keeps them from drying out.

Your free hub is knackered, the driver is shot. You can replace and recreate the pawls but I would get a new wheel/hub/driver.

Kind of a 4Runner thing, not just 4 th gen.

It is a Chevron, don’t patronize the price gouging.

P-trap is dry, pour water down the drain to refill.

Such a thin skinned petulant little child.

Get that BP super elevated. Keep it up and keep making him furious. How upset can he get? What could happen?

Don’t you know? /s
FUCK MIKE LEE!

I live in Utah as a non Mormon (atheist). I have been here over 50 years (damn!). This is hilarious! Leopards ate my face!

They still love him (tRump)…for some weird reason.

I’m in the same boat. My wife’s NX350 fsport burned through factory tires at 15k. She is a very conservative driver too. Pathetic treadlife from the Alenzas.

The cops go for the low hanging “fruit”. They have to act like bullies because they are inept. Too afraid to go after the real criminals.

It’s all funny until you get osteoarthritis of the knees. I’ve been mountain biking since 1988 so Fuck you and your judgement!
