I just posted in another thread about the same thing so: Answer is: Tektro 1272AF front cable hanger (if you have a hole in your fork to mount it to). More info on my experience here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Pittsfield-ME/The-Bicycle-Guy/631…

what i've seen is that over time, it may slightly eat at the casing, but continues to heal itself. that is until you dry out the tire and try to reseal it. I've been amazed at how many little holes have developed, and it takes quite a bit of time to…

Andrew (or anyone else), any feedback on the use of non-ammonia based sealants such as CaffeLatex? I'm just starting to try it and don't have enough time to mouth off yet, but so far it works as good as Stan's. At interbike and on their websites, y…

dave sheek tried to seal the challenge tires a while back, and based on the pic I saw, i trust him that it's a no go. it basically fell apart, and ate up the skinwall polyester casing. ask him to post a pic. it's not a nylon casing - perhaps the thi…

I thought there was an issue with bead strength of the tires. I'm not too worried about getting the sidewalls to seal, that's just a question of time and sealant, I'm worried about the bead spontaneously combusting when I'm cornering hard at 20 mph.

so the fango and grifo are a no-go for tubeless because of their very permeable sidewalls? just how bad are they? I mean, sealing conti supersonic mtb tires is a few-day process due to their superthing "sweaty" sidewalls, are the challenge tires tha…

in reply to your comment regarding black on black text: what browser are you interwebbing with? It's supposed to be white on dark grey.
I'm rocking the Safari and Mozilla browsers. Curious to know and thanks for the heads up.
BTW, yes celeste Michilin Mud on a celeste Bianchi Cross Concept Race is how I roll.
