I bought mine today at a Big 5 store for $5. Only took a couple of minutes. Since I will have to miss this ride due to business obligations and will not be available to cover @abinder3's six,I just confered with the Wheel Gods and they have decreed that the job falls to @Marty Backe.Yes Allen,this means that @Marty Backe will cover your backe.

Marty Backe Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 @swvision, I hope all is well. We waited about 45 minutes for you but then gave up and started the ride. Hope you didn't eventually get there to find us 'gone'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noisycarlos Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Here are the VR pictures I took. Viewable on all computers and mobiles. But for the full VR effect you'll need the free app on the link (Cardboard Camera) and a viewer like Google Cardboard or Daydream. They're not just a 360 degree panorama, there's actually depth to them (3D) and I think it looks nice with the big mountains :-) https://goo.gl/vrphoto/WE4IrDxijqjBeJcH3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that it arrives before summer Well, I got it through aliexpress and china post for only $20. What I really need is a second wheel. The Gt16 Rockwheel looked great but from what I'm hearing about it on this forum is just bad news. I also ordered a co2 quick tire and tube patch kit. So, if something happens by myself or in a group ill be more equipped to help anyone with their wheel. https://www.amazon.com/Innovations-Tire-Repair-Inflation-Wallet/dp/B00JL90KR4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I discovered Slime and have since put that in all my tires which gives me a lot of peace of mind. But you've actually replaced the tube on your wheel once already. Do you feel confident that it wouldn't be too difficult to patch an EUC tube in the field? I was excited about the GT16 too but I'm not overly impressed from what I've been seeing. Since I own an ACM the GT16 has to offer something better and I'm not seeing it (yet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
