Yes, probably the seat and maybe the InSync fork. Also, after some use, the chain started to make strange noises, because of disadjustment of the shifting group. This after normal ridings, not too hard. Also, I would like to know if there is an advantage changing to tubeless (less punches). I would like to see an user review of this bike. thanks "Huw Pritchard" <bounceCHECKSIGBEFOREMAILING@pritch.co.uk> wrote in message news:b47pvn$1t4q34$1@ID-159391.news.dfncis.de... > On Thu, 06 Mar 2003 11:24:04 +0000, R.

If so, try pumping your tyres up to a higher pressure (~45 psi). Once I got 6 holes at a time. Will try more pressure.

Tubeless won't help you with puncture flats. If anything, it'll make it worse for you - it's easier to patch a tube than a tire, and tubes are much cheaper than UST tires. I don't use it, but everybody who's ever used Stan's sealing system raves about it. That could be your answer for numerous puncture flats...http://www.notubes.com/pages/about.htm Chris |
