definitely, though if everything didnt go the way it did you guys wouldnt be where you are now (i.e. kicking copious amounts of ass)

least you guys moved on before stuff got real weird like it has

I scored a set of tubular 404's as my race day wheels, they're lighter than shallower clinchers and the ride is super nice, even on the cheap Tufo tires I put on. Was concerned about prepping and gluing them myself for the first time, but it wasn't bad at all...hooray YouTube.

nice. maybe I will glue these ones myself as well.

Gluing tubulars is a lot easier than you'd think, the difficult part is motivating yourself to clean the old glue off.

Be sure to get some of these if you're running tubulars:

I'm lazy about that, only clean the glue off after 3 tires. I'll probably die on a corner someday...

I only do it with my track tubulars cause I don't want to roll a tire out there. I probably need to reglue em soon speaking of, it's starting to get nice out.

How much sealant will this leave in my rim cause of my valve extenders lol.

Could use plumbers tape to get a tighter seal and not as much leakage.

Products ? Effetto Mariposa

They make one of the nicest torque wrenches out there.

I am in Gran Canaria (off the coast of Morocco).

The fish selection here is somewhat scary.

Ample choices for Jamon Serrano (like Prosciutto)

The Carrefour Supermarket even features fatbikes.


Don't know what this means? This Tattoo parlor will send someone to your house?

Teflon tape is a must. I still imagine a bunch of dry sealant on the inside of the rims.

Did a training today for over 200 people in my specialty area. I am an introvert functioning as an extrovert, and this makes me more tired than a day of MTBing. Just spent!

But, one cool thing, one of my kids was there in the crowd today, getting to see his old man standing and delivering.

Today I: decided that I should finally get around to getting an air compressor.

Anybody have suggestions for a compressor and inflator chuck to go with it?
I've been eyeing the park tool shop inflator. Are harbor freight compressors good for non-standby occasional use?

Harbor Freight is total junk and very dangerous. For cheap stuff get Husky at Home Depot or Kobalt at Lowe's. Make sure the tank is ASME certified.

I've got a harbor freight that works great. Only really use it for seating tubeless tires.

Sold the Enves, so today was my last ride on them. 87.5 miles of whoosh whoosh to send them on their way.

Picked up a Viner Special Professional track frameset. Guessing 70's/80's.

Paint is a bit dull and some nicks in the paint...but no dents. Can't wait to build it up.

Pic...

You have to appreciate a culture that carries disposable shot glasses at the supermarket. (With the label in five different languages)

Craftsman Air Compressor
Air compressor . Craftsman 4 gallon twin tank
Craftsman Air Compressor 125 PSI 7 gallons

I'd get one of these if i was looking for something like that. CL is yer friend

Thanks for the thought and efforts!

I ended up getting one of these guys off of there:



Def not as clean and paint chip free but it was rebuilt rather recently with a new motor and had the tanks borescoped for rust.
Overkill? Yes of course but it was cheap off a guy moving across the country!

are there small compressors that arent powered by a gas motor that i can use inside?

From my looking around, there's more than plenty.

It's actually the latter, a small gasoline compressor, that's very very uncommon.

With the rol air wheelbarrow style compressor I scored off CL, they're usually used with honda gasoline engines and actually can be retrofitted if I so choose to with motor mount drillings already there on the top mounting rail.

TIL that my headphones totally died in one of the pockets of randobag. oops.
