Default Tubeless Nightrider Got Run Over... Still holds air!


Well, my mom backed up over the rim and tire of my tubeless Nightrider
today, and guess what, it still holds air! A bit of sealant leaked out,
but not too much. If anything, it took some extra weight off .
However, the car did manage to take my rim out of true... Looks like I
need to figure out how to true a 36" wheel.


I think this says something about the durability of the tubeless
setup...

Haha, be honest.

You meant to have her run over the tire so that you could show off the
durability of your sweet tubeless set-up.

Hey, if I meant it to happen I wouldn't have had her take the rim out of
true .

Are 36" wheels really difficult to true compared to smaller, wimpier
sizes?

Hey Eric,
If you are going tubeless, do you really need that tube you won at
RTL?
I wouldn't mind an extra.
