Wahine - are those tubeless? I haven't tried that yet, but am thinking about it...

I'm embarassed to say I'm not sure about the tires but I believe they have tubes. It doesn't say tubeless anywhere and when my friend and I went over all the details, I was a little overwhelmed. I don't remember any mention of tubeless though.
Some of the specs have already changed a bit depending on parts availability. But that's it in a nutshell.
The frame hasn't arrived at my friend's shop yet so the rest of the build is on hold for the moment. I am soooooooooo excited.Last edited by Wahine; 03-17-2009 at 11:01 PM.

I am soooooooooo jealous. That will be one smokin' hot bike.
I'm lusting after one of its less expensive cousins at the moment, but, alas, I'm many dollars short of that dream.

Wahine, that is a B E A U T I F U L bike. I can't wait for it to get built! You are going to have such a great time with this bike and it will help restore and heal you.
SheFly, I have Kenda tubeless tires and I won't go back! I don't have to air it up as often and I don't get slow leaks from the teenie thorns that puncture the tires. Go with Stan's. Originally Posted by SheFly
