Remove tire, tube, and rim tape. Unscrew nipple with appropriately sized flathead screwdriver.

This has me thinking. A solid CX bike would be great for a zombie apocalypse. Keep a pair of folding slicks for the road.
I must prepare!

Hey Scrod,
This might be borderline RG thread so if I should ask in RG let me know.
I'm curious about the Cane Creek 110 headset. That 110 year NQA warranty is appealing to me. Is the performance/durability worth the cost? I don't mind shelling out now if I'll have to replace an FSA Orbit or Technoglide 5-10 years down the road. How long does a headset like the Orbit X typically last with moderate use?
Thanks.

I've never had any trouble with the Orbit-X and think it's an amazing headset for the money. I've only had my Cane Creek 110 headset for about a week on my BK so I can't really comment on how it's going to hold up but it's design seems to be pretty damn good and you can't beat that warranty.

Problems may arise if spokes are a little long, ie poking up a bit into slot.

I always have to deal with the wheels that come through the donation box and a lot of them have stubborn spokes that stick out.

How does the ride feel with 23c's? I wanna try out the 23 rim 23 tire thing but I feel like the ride would be too harsh. Right now I'm on 25's.
