All that is needed is to drill another valve hole in the rim one spoke over. Problem solved.

Inflation hassle fixed and grams lost. Win, win.

Regarding the stem length debate:

All that tall stack/ short reach mumbo jumbo does not matter on the streets.

I had wondered about all that tall stack crap, until I saw some of the bikes ridden by those who always always bring it up.

That's why Cheryl was the first girly name to come to mind, haha.

I mean, I couldn't have called him Angie. :lol:

The old adage about sleeping dogs is perfectly applicable to wives.:p

These things are putting a real damper in my active lifestyle. crowding the bike paths with people who have no idea how to ride. I'm sure there will be a death soon.
I am glad people are getting into it, but some people just shouldn't. You don't own a bike for a reason, so don't rent them and cause problems.

Ok, done venting. Anyone try these? how do they ride?

They weigh like 50 pounds and ride like ****, but I'm not really bothered by them. I've actually seen, on occasion, some people blasting what seemed like 35 kmph on those.

My question is when is some hipster gonna steal one of those and make it a sweet fixie.

Consider the alternative--them in cars.

Consider it a move toward a paradigm shift. The shop I work at is a city subsidized commuter facility with a bike share and bike rentals, it really helps to get people out of their cars. Cycling isn't only for "cyclists".

Craigslist is giving me winners this week. I did see a kilo with b43's for 600 today but that's just a jackass owner, not a JA bike.
