this. my favorite kind of trail. also referred to as blown out. frequently occurring on fall or ridge line tralls.
what about CHUNDER?

what about CHUNDER?
Janky, to me, was always slower, hard, and mostly awkward technical riding that was mostly a factor of riding on hiking trails that were never really purpose built, let alone purpose built for mountain biking. Seems these days most newer riders call anything remotely technical "jank".
Yes, my friends and I were listening to NWA, etc since it came out. And us skaters always spoke street slang at that time, as the skating was in the cities and streets.
When I designate a trail as janky, it's because I have been convinced that whoever built it was high on crack.
Wish they weren't so expensive, but these are genuinely awesome.

Just saw those, great idea. Other companies may come out with similar designs to bring price down hopefully.
Weren't we just talking about this? How we have to maintain our presta valves for tubeless applications. It's almost like someone was listeningWish they weren't so expensive, but these are genuinely awesome.

Still, tho, how is that popet valve going to NOT get clogged as it is facing the sealeant like all the time?
With current presta valves, the thing that gets clogged is at the top, furthest away from the sealant. Not taking a bath with it. Perhaps I'm missing something?

The opening is *way* bigger than in a normal presta valve, and the stem physically pushes the top part open with quite a bit of movement, so even if some sealant builds up around it the seal should get broken when you open the valve.
When my Presta valves get clogged, it's usually first the bottom of the valve core getting buildup on it, followed by the lower part of the stem getting clogged. I've got a couple pairs of fancy high end valves (Peaty's, Industry Nine). They resist clogging better than cheap ones, but it still happens eventually if you change tires and are adding fresh sealant frequently.
This design looks like it'd work well, but they look like they'd make doing Cushcore even more of a pain in the ass. Plus, most importantly, they only come in black. I think I'll stick with my Peaty's.

thanks for the explanation on the design & how it works. i saw another "review" that did not.Wish they weren't so expensive, but these are genuinely awesome.

do these work with tire inserts? or are there plans for a version that is compatible?
mid season price hikes
what were you saying the other day about a 1/2” drill bit?
way too big for schrader valves.what were you saying the other day about a 1/2” drill bit?
listen, you all know how much i love bad ideas. but even i wouldn't drill a carbon rim. carbon frame is a different story.Only if you're a bitch.

Obviously not for me, as I've not had a problem with valves getting clogged.
Being picky about the design, does the air pressure in the tire hold the valve shut? We all know what happens when you drop the valve cap on the ground in a forest. That thing is gone son.
And if you're a hamfist who bends the tip of the nut thing, I can also see these things being a bad idea.
Is there any possibility that the caps will get stuck to the rod and not be able to spin off?
You guys have trouble seating tire beads these days? Is that an inserts thing?
I run Maxxis, sometimes Spec / Michelin / Schwalbe, and they all seat onto DT and Stans rims with my $20 nashbar floor pump and no sealant. Maxxis is the best in that regard.
Also, Orange Seal brand valves are bad.

Internal air pressure does hold it shut, but you can bump the tip and let some out, just like a regular presta valve with the nut loose.
And no, the internal valve piece can't spin inside the stem so there's no way for the cap to get stuck.
Yeah, in case you haven't noticed, there's an incredible amount of variability in tires and rims. Some combos mount ride up, some leak through the flexible bead, some are just loose before they lock into place. Just way too much variability.
I have no issue mounting tire with a floor pump but the clogging can be irritating

I always heard it (or interpreted it) to mean poorly built, marginally dangerous man made trail features, using things like pallets, hay, nail and not screws, that sort of thing.
Also "grom piles"
Over the years, I have come to understand Janky is like Wonky on 'roids.
My personal definition would be wonky is sort of weird, not necessarily wrong, but definitely someone's unique take on something. Often an acquired taste.
Janky to me is more improvised and slapdash. Redneck - the more pallets and old tires the better. Put together with whatever was available, aesthetics or quality be damned.

Shoulda saved that for the GMT constitutional check in
