That's a pretty decent 6-er. Mine would have all Torpedo and Ruination... 
right now i'm drinking....
Ruination is great, I actually haven't tried the Torpedo yet (that's the next one). I just wanted to be adventurous tonight. :biggrin:That's a pretty decent 6-er. Mine would have all Torpedo and Ruination...
I better slow down though, I have to get my bike converted to tubeless tonight...:biggrin:
Fug. I'm starting to think I should abandon it for the second time...Yes.
Maybe I'll give it one more try...
A Coors light, and a shot of gin because I was in a ****ty mood. Then I went to the store and got coffee and realized I had to do a presentation in 5min for a stupid fvcking online class. I get more coffee, get home, and realize it's on monday....

I'm gonna get into some Titan very shortly...
Samuel Smith's, old brewery pale ale.
Coffee.
Well I was last night, going for more in a few hours.
Organinc lemon ginger tea.
What problems?Am I the only one that has problems with tubeless?
That night was the first time I've done a ghetto tubeless conversion. Picked up some 20" tubes, cut 'em, stretched the around the rim, pop the tire on, Stan's, air compressor. Boom, no prob.
Although I should have probably done it before I started drinking.
In the past, I've used the Stan's strips and the Mavic UST system. I think ghetto was far easier than the Stan's strips, I can never get them to seat in the rim correctly.
Held up to about 9,000 feet of DH, including a pretty good crash, Saturday so I guess it did it right.

wolavers, pat leavy's all-american ale.

First time I gave it a go I got a pinch flat... that pi$$ed me off as did the price of tubeless tires. So I went tubed for a bunch of years.
Recently I got some tires from a buddy - first off I had a b1tch of a time getting one to hold air until I put some of that expensive latex $hit in it. Then the other I had a b1tch of a time getting the tire seated (I don't have a compressor). Then I got a thorn that flatted the tire before it sealed itself. Then I got a small-ish sidewall tear that the latex could NOT seal. So now I'm running a back tire with a tube AND with a bunch of messy latex $hit in it.
I'm not sure I'm gonna try again...
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale...
Last night a Lakefront Bock & a Furthermore Proper.
What'd you think of the Lakefront Bock? The whole Bock/Maibock/Dopplebock/Einbock category is new to me since we came out to WI, but it's probably my favorite style right now.
I like it better than most of the other Lakefront stuff. It is big & sweet with a heavy mouthfeel. A good Bock IMHO. I like Sprecher's Mai Bock that is out right now too, in fact I may get some tonight, since I am having trouble remembering it.
The NG Uff-da is my favorite I have to say.
A couple of good German dopplebocks are Paulaner Salvator Doppel Bock & Spaten Optimator.

I'm going to assume these are UST rims and single ply UST tires. Correct?First time I gave it a go I got a pinch flat... that pi$$ed me off as did the price of tubeless tires. So I went tubed for a bunch of years.

If they are old tires, they probably won't seat very well.
Best thing to do is get new tires. I don't know what your terrain is like, but here its very rocky, so I only use double plys.
Unless its the UST system, you're going to need to use Stan's (expensive latex stuff). Its not that expensive...
I used it even with my UST wheels/tires, just for extra protection. Its like mega-slime, it will seal up just about any hole.
And some people can seat these tires with a floor pump, but I use a compressor. Way easier and the only sure way to make sure the beads are set (that loud POP POP you hear when inflating).
Last night Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald Porter, Fruthermore Proper.
Shiner Hefe.

So with all this nonsense the advantage is....
Just finished a stellar night or at least I think so. Home brew funky saison, DeDolle Reserva '07, Lost Abbey Proximus, and 3 Fonteinen Schaerbeekse Kriek '06. One of the best Krieks's I've had. And these were shared, I'd be wasted if I drank all this myself.
this is what i'm drinking tonight .

Fat tire tonight, and tommorrow, and Sunday!!!!

It's finally available in WI. And by "available", I mean $3.99 for a 22oz. When it wasn't available it was something that was forbidden, and part of the fun was trying to figure out how to get it (shipping a 6-pack, drinking it while traveling to Colorado, etc). Now that it's actually available (and overpriced), suddenly the mystique is gone and I'm choosing locally brewed beer instead. Might pick up a bottle at some point, but definitely not really that thrilled about it anymore...
