Cool. So you disassembled a freewheel and removed its cog along with the internals, then you brazed on a coaster style cog. That is a great way to make a fixed cog when you can't source one. I learned one more trick, thanks.

just cuz its not UST or TR dont necessarily mean you cant tubeless the tire, im willing to bet you could tubeless a pasela or any other simular panasonic mold tire, you just need a good bead lock
i have panasonic col de la vie gumwalls rockin on tubeless right now, and theyre basically a pasela with different tread and more volume

The reason you can do this with MTBs is because of the differences in air pressure.
You CANNOT use a nontubeless road tire as a tubeless tire. You're gonna blow the bead and die.

you think it will be strong enough without a fillet bead? I'm thinking about possible lateral flex causing a problem.

That would be rad but I don't have a welder for myself or a frame fixture. A lugged frame would be doable.

Also, I might have been yelling "ahhh, go Rohan, omg omg, you got this!" or some other gibberish. I imagine it was a bit surprising for some of them to actually hear a fan yell out their name, I got a number of looks that day. Ted King came pretty close to running me over.

Today I'll stop by my local library branch and pick up the book that I've had on hold, Grant Petersen's "Just Ride". Maybe I'll discover what all of the fuss is about...
