I'd be keen to get tubliss "tubes" but they dont do a 17". I did enquire to the manufacturer and they didnt see a market for that size - considering the number of DR, KLR, BMW, what have you that run 17s i thought that was a bit odd. Might have to lace the spare hub into an 18" rim
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

Hmm but you are thinking Adventure bikes. If you let the tyre down to a suitable pressure to really grab off road, you may exit onto tarmac on you 100hp 230kg bike, do 120kph and after a few km turn a corner with 4psi on board.
Lawsuit.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

Next time you can show me how it is done........
Re Tubliss, I love it. I run 3.5 PSI in my rear. Never had a failure on the track but recently had a tube fail around the base of the valve stem at home. Not enough for me to be worried however. Great system. If you are all organising a ride at the Waimak, let me know. What side? I have some lovely wee gnarly tracks on the south side.

I had the same type of failure, it probably had 100hrs on it by then and I've read of others
Gnarly to me is not a selling point

For once, I approve of this message.
Compare Pornography now to 50 years ago.
Then extrapolate 50 years into the future.

Mendip wasn't a bad ride, pretty slippery even with 4 days of good weather but still good traction, good terrain mix except the first farm road section, quite a few people missed the turn through the gate to go down the first creek crossings, the last two crossings were pretty rough and I walked them rather than take a chance on drowning the bike, one of the people with us did drop it but lucky it wasn't far enough under to need drying out
Another one of our crew came away with 9 fractured ribs and a punctured lung
Some dickhead had buried his car in the guardrail one the bridge at Parnassus on the way home but the worst part of the day was the 3 vehicle accident at Greta Valley which blocked the road for fucking hours so only got home at 11pm, apparently people with Boats and Trailers tried the Kaiwara road and were getting towed out from being stuck by a tractor and the one-way bridge at Waiau was a cluster fuck with all the diverted traffic

Tyres, I dont mind fitting up the occasional one for you or just go to Precision MC in Rolleston. Tyre types-you ride on stones mostly out there, so a softer carcass should be the go-Michelin Starcross 6 mediums perhaps?
I missed Mendip-just finished a ride at the bike park last Wednesday and my knee started hurting real bad. Dr Google and I think it is bursitis. Hopefully it will settle. A friend of mine was caught in that traffic on sunday. They ended up going back out and up the Leader to Waiau and then Chch.

Bursitis was my first motorcycle injury. I got it from kneeling on concrete working on the bike. You shouldn't get it from riding i would have thought.

Yes, my leg had been feeling sore on and off for some time, but the trail ride was when it really set in.
