ANYONE ABLE TO HELP PYRO NOW, ON NW..??

[pyrocam]

woots

ok im jsut about to find out if im a success or a failure

crashe turned up outa the blue and gave me a pump (missing a part just fixing now) and some levers


ooooh the excitement

[bugjuice]

mind the rain! Just take it easy, and good luck!

[pyrocam]

woot
as you know I did get it done


and did a burn out the driveway thanks to texmo and damon.

shit I sucumb to peer presure to easily.


still I have to pump it past 10psi and tighten the chain
ill proberly need a new on in a couple months




edit:


its not 'true' its got a lump in it
am I going to kill myself If I just pump it up and let the bump sort itself out?
its proberly still got a serious amount of dishwasing liquid on it so it might move around

[eliot-ness]

Let the tyre down. Squeeze in to the centre where the bump is and work around the rim until the tyre is true, There should be a guide line around the tyre to help. Inflating may work but only if you have the means to go to 40lbs+. Don't forget to deflate to correct pressure afterwards. Whether it's safe to ride depends on how far out of true it is and how fast you ride. Not worth the risk for something so easy to rectify.

hmmm for my tire. I think ill deflate it and re inflate

see if it works itselft out. ill take it up to BP on its 10psi and pump it up and down a couple times


futher. I have 3 bolts on the tube. I left one loose on the inside of the tyre and 2 are on the outside just to hold it on..


I think a new addition to the mega maintenance thread is in order

Im pretty dissapointed at colemans for telling me that the shit would work on a tubed tire when it obviously is NOT going to work on a tube.

What was the name/brand of the product you used?

[pyrocam]

FUCK ARSE CUNTY MOTHER SHIT COCK GAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!


ok.
im better now

i think I used my entire repertoire of swear word combo's this morning

woke up. rode it on 10psi to my BP running a bit late for work
spent about 10mins trying to pump it up before I realised the pump was broken
_insert various swear words relating to genital regions_ rode it with NO air in the tire to a mobil station about a k further down the road
sign on it 'broken' so I _insert swear words about sexual intercourse' really loudly_ oh look theres little kids about. dont like swearing in front of them. swear some more cos i swore in front of kiddies. sigh.

ok so ive got no psi. its wobbling funny but I can move.
took it to the bp at st lukes. you know what? It was fucking broken as well.

DO PETROL STATIONS NOT GIVE AWAY AIR ANYMORE! FFS!

lukiliy ther was a tireplace next door. coolies. they pumped it up. nice guys. and there was a bike out the front which I recognised from the tire place outside my work.

so anyway woohoo Im not insanely late for work

I go about 150m down the road and it starts slipping and shit all over again. im rooted. I cant really even go anywhere cos the wheel spins but the tyre stays still

with a bit of effort I managed to go forward
get to motohaus with alot of effort but kerry hasnt opened yet. _insert swear words about gay people here_ (no i wasnt swearing AT kerry. swearing at the situation)

get it back onto the main road. hear funny noises like the chain has come off.
well no the chain hasnt come off. just my new inner tube has wrapped its self around my sprocket _blah some more swearing_

pull the thing off. ride it tubeless to colemans with ALOT of effort and greif.
the rain and wet roads made for a fucking fun time. get it in there and say ITS FUCKED. they say too bad im too busy. _some more swearing. they say they will do it before 5 since its only a tube change.

walked to work

done

[texmo]

LOL get a vespa takes me under 5mins to change a tyre less than that to put the spare on.... but if you have a blow out on the motorway its a whole lot more exciting

[pyrocam]

motul i think
gold can with red on it

[bugjuice]

lol.. sounds like you've had heaps of fun today..
get a bigger bike and as a benefit - loose tubed tyres!

Motul tyre repair.
On the can it says it's appropriate for tubed and tubeless tyres. I'd suggest to you that Colemans sold it to you in good faith, and didn't misrepresent their product.

[crashe]

Pyrocam - Now if you had of listened to me in the first place this wouldnt have happened...

Did I not say earlier, to take the wheel to Motohaus first thing Saturday morning and get the wheel fixed there for a few dollars.... and did you listen...
NO.

Ok said my piece... now I am

did he maybe put to much in considering its enough for 200mm tires as opposed to the rg's 120?
