Ghetto Tubeless...take a 24 inch tube and split it down the molding line. insert the valve through the hole in the rim and install the tube on the rim like a rimstrip. Install your choice of tire (michelin) and add sealant-Stans or Orange Seal-and then pump up the tire as per usual. Remove excess tube as close to the rim as possible and viola! You have a burp proof tubeless conversion that even the heaviest g's can't burp.

If you own a Lefty fork, remove the top cap from the steer tube and insert it on the bottom, viola! Now you have a mini trash can for Gu wrappers or a mini flower vase.

If you use a wax based lube I recommend that after you lube up your chain you immediately light it on fire. It bonds better to the chain and removes all the excess without the need to wipe.

Do they realize that the seat Ratboy runs is just a WTB Hightail, and not a custom, one-off one?
