069 – Nipple management… and other annoying mountain bike stuff. (Part 1)
Manage episode 407720396 series 3396642
In this episode Josh and Dane discuss and debate (argue even) about annoying mountain bike stuff. Some of the topics we debate on include…
- Presta valves + chunky sealant.
- Dunlop valves.
- British brake lever setup (rear brake on left / front brake right).
- MOAB closing its lift (yes, they had one).
- Spoke holes inside rims (requires rim tape = tubeless system failure point).
- Nipple management.
- Rim tape that won’t stick.
- Overwhelming # of mountain bike tire variants. (width, tread patterns, compounds, casings).
- YouTube “expert advice” on mountain bike tires.
- Microscopic sized rotation indicators on mountain bike tires.
- Accidentally putting tires on the rim, backwards.
- Flat mount disc brake caliper mounts = frequent alignment issues.
- Monster gravel bikes.
- Mountain bike standards constantly changing.
- Press fit bottom brackets.
Here’s some links & corrections from the episode…
- WTH is a Dunlop Valve? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunlop_valve
- BTW… brass is not magnetic. (but brass plated could be).
