Pam,
I enjoyed the article and you are inspiring in your ability and willingness
to ride most any road. I'm curious about what lights, reflective clothing,
etc. you use to be seen by drivers? I ride on roads often but there are
some that I avoid for fear of being hit or honestly being a nuisance

Here's an article you may enjoy. My Betty can do it all - ably. Try it on
your bike.

As for toxic fumes leaked by sealant into the atmosphere, I'd bet a dollar

Sealant is wonderful and something you really don't want to avoid if you
live in goathead country, since it lets you ride wonderful light and supple
tires that, without sealant, would get literally a thorn flat every 2-5
miles. As I've rep

Grant made a big mistake saying in the video they were going to price them

140 is very long. If 80 is only "a little too short" then 120 is probably
more likely to work than 140.
I agree the quill adaptor and stem could give you a lot of flexibility for
trying the different length out.

Tubeless is a good choice if you ride often enough or are disciplined
enough to keep your sealant circulated and the tire is an appropriate size.
