I sanded a few burrs off the plastic on Bumblebeena’s jockeys and they work very well (Same 600 EX).
Everything looks like it arrived well.
they seem to spin well. I will clean them up and grease them. One of them has a split tooth and i didnt know how much it was going to effect its performance or how long it would last so i figured id start looking for a backup.
I got the new tires on. These skinny tires are a much bigger beast than my MTB tires....i actually needed my levers on these. Really nice tires, i think they will do very well where i ride....thank you dave, I really appreciate these. Hopefully i got my valve just off center enough to drive someone nuts...
My hand pump wont fully inflate it...time for a floor pump.
Does the rim tape on the inside keep the tube from being popped by the spokes? I thought the tape was for tubeless setup, I guess it is just on all rims. when i removed the back tire the rim tape came off with it in about 15 peices, should i make sure to tape that back up before inflating and using the tire?
