[Mr. Kurtz]

I'll make a video once my wheels come in.

That's exactly how easy it was for me as well. Honest.

[Rada]

He sure makes it look super easy

Wait til you see my video.

I notice too that he is not running rim locks in those tires either.. That helps.

Will there be blood?

Hmmm...I wonder if that's gonna come back to be an issue, or if the tire being so heavy with the liner and screws will mean it doesn't need them...

Will there be blood?

Haha, not even close. The video is going to be me, wearing a GoPro, loading my Fourniers and wheels into my truck, driving them to a shop, a nice lunch montage, then picking them up.

[nhbubba]

What kind of pressures are we supposed to be running in these things?

Methinks the rimlocks are there to help running uber-low pressures in the dirt. Seems like less of a concern on the ice. Jack up the pressures and go lock-less.

Nice to see you getting a head start on your cheating.

Love the hard plastic knee pads to save the knees from screws.

That room must be warm to keep the tires as ductile as they appear to be in the videos.

Cool trick to put the valve stem through the way he does, that was always the thing that gave me the most trouble. I would put the tire halfway on then insert the tube and try to get the valve stem through the rim. Doesn't work so well that way.

[Kurlon]

I bought a stem puller tool just 'cause I hate that part.

That's how I do it...
