    It depends on the tire, as some just soak the stuff up. I base it on how much fluid is there the next day when I shake it. If it's silent, or nearly so, I add in some more. Then repeat the next day.

    And I 100% use tubeless for goathead protection! Here's me laughing at goatheads:

    They actually aren't so heavy these days. I have a set of Hutchison UST tires on the road bike paired to the Mavic UST wheels. They are, in a word, awesome.

    That's what they were. I knew they'd be infamous.

    I have an old “sport wing” bike rack if you have a hitch receiver I will give you. Help you get that bike around to all the cool trails.

    I love this thread. Started out with a guy looking for a sub $500 Wal-Mart bike and 7 pages and a few days later, same guy is buying a $40,000(?) truck to transport his new bike!!!! :cool:

    Mt. Biking, as addictive as Crack, but 10x the expense. :sneaky: :thumbsup:

    You are safe at Aliso, LCWP, Whiting, Luge......there really isn't anything in those areas that would cause a puncture(goatheads/thorns/etc.) Chances are you cut a sidewall or such....Stans may not seal it up anyway.

    I cracked open the tires on the Hightower at the beginning of the week because they were weeping pretty good. Bone dry inside. Added about 3oz to each tire. I don't carry a tube on that bike, so I was on borrowed time.

    There is no catch. Many of us upgrade at a fairly high rate. Old parts get sold off....sometimes they don't. Sometimes they just get put in the parts bin and forgotten. Eventually you decide it's time to unload it all. Giving it away.

    Wow, you guys are really stepping up here! :thumbsup:

    The camaraderie of psyche is real. I’ve put my life in the hands of people I did not know. Or even speak the same verbal language. Sometimes partners were rank beginners. It’s hard to feign a lust for doing something as pointless as trawling the backcountry. Brothers and sisters in arms have cred. :geek:

    I have plenty of tires that I need to get off my hands before they are no good anymore. Specialized Fast Tracks & Captain, Continental Mountain Kings, Schwalbe Nobby Nics, some Maxxis too but most are probably too big for what you need right now.

    I am in Orange and you could come pick some out if you want, I could also help you setup tubeless if your rims are prepped for it... got plenty of sealant to get you started.

    You can put orange seal in regular tires that have removable valves also.

    Technically, that means the tire companies paid him to display them....

    Hi guys. Do I need tubeless compatible tires, or are they all compatible? Can't find anything on my Schwalbe Tough Toms.

    Especially if you've never done it before. TR tires will make it that much easier.

    A quick Google search shows they are just a cheap wire beaded tire. It seems they are OEM on a lot of bikes.
