I rode to work on my LHT with the VP pedals yesterday and they were
excellent. It was a cold rainy day and my feet felt firmly planted on the
pedals with know worry about slippage as with the un-spiked Grip Kings. I

Now there are new photos of the Nitto Factory. Now I need a Nitto Factory
shirt! That would be dope (as the kids like to say).

I just got a Nitto T-shirt. Very nice. The hat is a little too square/odd

I am in the very fortunate situation of anticipating the present
(adverbial) arrival of a 58X57 cm Ram, offered rather unexpectedly and
very graciously at poor-boy's terms by listmember Tim Whalen (thanks,

Patrick,
As you live in goathead country trying to run tubular tires (which, as you
know, have tubes) with or without Stan's sealant may be an expensive and
frustrating experiment.
I am curious about how tubeless Hetres (with Stan's) would perform in your
area.

I mounted Grand Bois Cypres on 700c A23 rims and it definitely

I'm getting mixed signals on this -- partly scuttlebutt, partly via
Google. If Stans can work off road, why not on road?
In any event, if I do try tubs, it will be on the cheap with a
scavenged or at least used wheelset.

You are confusing the terminology: Stan's is tubeless, not tubular.
Tubular, aka sew-ups, are a tire sewn around a tube.
Stan's has road tubular, but it's expensive and tire choice is
limited. It is intended for racers who will run high psi. You can read
about it here: http://www.notubes.com/Road-

Thanks. But really, no terminological inexactitude at all; I've read
about using Stans (and other new-tech sealants) in Tubs (tubulars, sew
ups) with good results.

*One* more remark here: someone -- Stans? Vittoria? -- actually makes
a "per dose" sealant for tubular (sewup) flats. Stop, add to flatted

I have used tubeless MTB and 650B tires with sealant, and tubular
cyclocross tires with sealant. My impression is that tubular cyclocross
tires with sealant are more resistant to pinprick-style punctures compared
to sealant-less tubulars, but are nowhere near as flatproof as true
tubeless tires. In

Perhaps I missed something. You are not planning a 650 conversion so i'm
not sure why all the input around that. I run my Ram with open pro rims,
which have been very good to me for many years. I bought the Grand Bois
Cerf Green tires this year and they have been fabulous. They fit nicely

I ordered a B&M Luxos dyno light that should come before year end.
Unfortunately I snapped my IQ Cyo off the mount in a minor spill :(.
Well, the new light has a wider beam and more illumination, so I'm
very hopeful that it will do everything I want. It might not be as
good jewelry though :).

Thanks, David. The punctures I have in mind are pinprick goathead
holes. I understand that bigger ones will entail the usual tubular
flat hassle.

I see that we (y'all and I) have completely different universes as are
points of reference.
Here, flats are a way of life: a flat per ride, at least if it is a
slow leak due to a goathead, is acceptable to me (better that than
some of the "flat proof" alternatives I've ridden). Given that

Hi Toshi,
Does your Cyo still work? I want to try to put one inside an old French
headlight housing, so if you just snapped off the mount, I'd be interested
in buying it from you.

I ended up,ordering a SON Delux. Tonight I put the SP PV-8 on and did a quick
mounting of the super nova version 2 with the brighter 3 led tail light. I
didn't feel any drag there either and at was after a ride on a Phil front
before the switch.
The PV-8 has been a plesant surprise.

I used sealant in a tube - Joe's, which is more available than Stan's
here for some reason.
No flats for many months, then a big surprise when I did flat.
The sealant glued the tube is to the tire - a year old 32 Supreme with
plenty of life left otherwise.
Not sure is that means the sealant did its
