^Experience man. Still a struggle for me every time. It’s not easy that’s for sure.
Good to see you back on here.
1) Yeah it's been awhile. Really have little to say on the car front..
2) With the tire thing the key and only key is to keep the opposite bead of where you are spooning in the center of the rim. Do not let the tire bead migrate to the edge of the wheel. Look at a moto wheel, in the center the circumference is smaller than the edges. Use a bead buddy or vice grips or anything to keep the tire bead from seating.
3) I had some old ISDE riders show me how and those guys could move. 5-10 mins from wheel on bike to wheel back on bike.
4) Tubliss vs UHD tubes vs mousse. I like UHDs for most applications. Tubliss are OK and handy if airing down etc but field repairs are sometimes more challenging than repairing a conventional tube. I carry a 21" tube to use in front or rear and a patch kit and a bike pump. On a long adventure multi day ride I can handle endless flats lol. With the tubliss sometimes finding the puncture in the tire is the issue, or a torn tire. Either way hard to plug. The tubliss guys I ride ride with carry a tube on multi day rides.. The mousse is great for a specific application but they do not like sustained speed. They get very hot and can break down.
