Nope

I have had success with tape a bit wider than the rim inner. It spreads up the walls at touch. If you are looking at "proper" tubeless tape you can buy similar stuff from ebay for much less. Look for yellow Tesa tape in 10m rolls.

But electric eels would be fashionable nowadays.

In theory 8 equals 42 and each Euro size is 3/4 of a UK size. In practise it means stuff all so don't buy shoes you can't try on. That can be tricky as we all want a big choice so all you can do is find shops with free o cheap mail order returns. Don't believe your mates or the web , at best its a v...

You should have seen the size of my mates hand!

Tried an extender just to see what could be done. It worked but wasn't as good as without. I suspect that it was just one more thread in the system and thus one more weak point. MTB mech was no different. That are cheap so may be worth a try.

Much better that way. I remember a visit to Maine in the early 90's when English pubs were trendy over there. You could buy beer by the pint in handled glasses. Bar staff were not happy when I pointed out that a fifth of the pint was missing. All very amicable though.

Was reading an article in "The comic" about an winners hill climb bike. String spokes in the front wheel!

Decades ago when I was doing an Outdoor Education degree we were shown how to abseil from a glove in hard packed snow. Last resort sort of thing. Taking it one stage further we wondered what else from the rucksack could be used. Frozen Mars bars proved darn tough. We suspected that a Curlywurly migh...

Stuff something in the gap.

I assume that you are doing this with the wheels on the floor. If not do that. Of course it may be that the guards were put in with crooked wheels! Equally if the clearance is tight you may well have knocked the guard at some point. Bend it right.

The important things, draught beer and cider and miles are Imperial. Vehicle fuel is litres. Milk can be either. Canned and bottle booze is mostly metric as well. Food is mostly metric but sometime a metric version of an imperial measure. Cycle tyres are either depending on your bike. MTBers like in...

I have the plastic things but a hub works better.At the back a large sprocket keeps the chain tidy as well.
