Making it Work (on a vintage mtb)

I needed to get Erin's broken wheel to Dirty River Bicycle works so I decided to get creative with my MODL Infinity Tools. On the way home I needed to bring a bunch of new t-shirts for my shop - so I decided to get creative with the Velo Orange Utility Rack. All this on my 1989 Team Stumpjumper.
I love using what I have to get the job done.

👏👏👏to both you and Sir Edmund Fitzwater....got close to 130 last week. Roller coaster weather patterns. But no matter, trails are dry and clear of snow/ice. 👍. Enjoy the weekend Tim....The Ides of March have past....Full steam ahead to April

Bought a six of Edmund Fitzgerald in honor of Edmund! I'm finally getting out too- about 70 miles last week. Seems like it usually takes about 200 miles until I feel "in shape". Thanks for the continued entertaining videos!

Our second bikes, or "heavy-work" cheap bikes are always more funny and relaxing to pedal, despite the lower quality parts.

Edmund is looking his best in this one! You should do an Edmund inspired bandanna.

[Foinnse]

A lovely meandering little Vlog. Thanks!

[jake_k]

I’ve been out on my bike every day this year so far trying to keep that going cheers tim

[silvercamp]

The best way is to mount it on the handle bar.
100 times I done it.
just put the wheel vertical -through the horizontal handle bar. it's the best way to do it.

2:31 can vouch for brass nips. As cool as it is to have color options(not that Erin was going for that), they don’t hold up nearly as well as brass.

[johnmartin]

Your videos are interesting and you have good music.

[mrmrlee]

LOL at everyone asking why not such and such instead? Well sir, as a relatively new subscriber, I am enjoying your channel and have no suggestions at all😊

[Cycling_Brian]

I’ve built a few wheels and always used brass nipples. Brass nipples make it easy to get things right for me as a hobbyist wheel builder.

There are a lot of Homeless Black cats in your area!

[Teddybikescape]

Edmund must be wondering where you have been the last few days.

[rocketjim]

thanks for the infinitytool hack....just ordered a set 🙂

[donttouchthisatall]

Have you tried doing a spoke repair yourself? It's fairly easy if you know the correct length of spoke and weave it in properly (assuming you have a n-cross lacing pattern). Having it set up tubeless before is a hassle though, I admit.

[jacobferrante]

If wheels don't drain water correctly, it will get under the tubeless tape and corrode the hell outta alloy nipples as well. Happened to a set of becky's wheels like 3 or 4 times.

[Sapoguapo]

I’ve seen those straps a few times and was always curious what they were. Also, not feeling good about my aluminum I’m nipples now!!!!

[billincolumbia]

Aluminum nipples are so silly. I have a Specialized Allez that has AL nipples, and I have broken several, and not just on the rear drive side. I'm not tubeless, so it's not a big deal to replace them, but they never should have been such a silly material anyway.

[AmusedDaffodils-mzrw]

I have a Schwinn mountain bike and I can't stop the disc breaks from squeak ing Tim I've tried what I could do I've taken it to the bike shop they said my break pads are fine any suggestions Tim getting frustrated with this bike and it's a cheap one to

[petrosspetrosgali]

That tune you used on this video sounds vaguely familiar. i cant place it.
