Thanks so much! This is very helpful. Is putting the tubeless sealant in a tube somehow better than those slime-filled tubes? Or the same?
I am doing a tiny amount of moving things around and then will take and share pics of the Hunq. It is orange! At first, I wondered if it is real because I don't really see many orange ones in online photos but every other thing about it says Hunq. The paint seems fragile, though. It came with the Atlas rims, an SP-dyno hub in front, a White industries hub in the back, RTPs, Sugino double crank/chainrings, a 12-40 cassette, VP grippy pedals, Paul canti brakes, Tektro drilled alloy brake levers with gum hoods, Berthoud saddle (which I am swapping to a different bike in favor of an Imperial Flyer), Chris King headset, Nitto dirt drop bars and stem, Nitto seatpost (the longest I have ever seen! It bottoms out in the seat tube.) And the Nitto big back rack and big front rack. Plus a nice dyno light and usb charger device. I'm swapping the big front rack with a different bike and putting a mini-front rack plus wald basket instead. He said he's only had it 6 months and ridden about 500 miles. All of the components are all ones I like and would have chosen.All of that for 2k. What do you think? Seemed like an amazing price to me but I suppose these assessments are relative to the person and the local market. And I realized after I hit send on my last messages that I keep forgetting to delete out the prior text when replying -- so sorry for the extra space in your inboxes. I use the web interface and so I forget it comes by email to many/most people. On Monday, September 26, 2016 at 8:08:43 AM UTC-6, Patrick Moore wrote: > > Valerie: Yes, your floor pump will be fine.
