Greg Spalding Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 I won't give you my immediate, pedestrian, naïve impressions, except: 1. It's very heavy 2. The tire really smells ... I was obligated to enter that information from my wife who told me I could sleep with the MSuper tonight... Of course, I told her, "thank you!" response after that I will withhold at this time 3. I will just keep charging you while, I suppose. I am very excited but filled with a healthy amount of fear, and nausea Thanks to each and everyone of you for your encouragement 5 minutes ago, 16bitSprite said: So jealous.

Donafello Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I have my new wheel in another room as I read about the tire I could smell mine. Lol. It's really is a strong smell but I can tell you the quality of this tire is so much better the my V2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I was saying to @Marty Backe A moment ago I know that in a month I'm going to be fairly comfortable riding both of my wheels will have to tell you that at this moment that particular accomplishment seems like years away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you could show me a picture, please thanks, in advance I'm a service manager at a car dealer so I just use one of the techs air hoses. I have to bend the tip towards me (don't be nervous about moving it) and then I hold the hoses on it and he presses the button and stops at 45 psi. Also you can try and get your hands on one of these. It was giving to me when I bought my 2nd V2. I've never used it as I just fill up at work but it I ever was to use my pump at home I would deff connect this because without it it would be almost impossible to pump with my pump I can't for some reason upload any pictures from my brand new iPhone to the site or I would post a picture of it. If you want to pm me your email I'll send it to you that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with my technicians air gun it's so small it fits right on there as I bend it. What I usually do is let a lot of air out so tip is easier to bend.

Donafello Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I just emailed you. With that it makes it so much easier cause once on there's not going to be much tension and moving around on the nozzle. With a pump it's going to bend that nozzle and the more air you put into it the more tension there will be. This avoids that. But I do recommend to get yourself a extra inner tube at minimum and a extra tire. I always buy a extra inner tube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll make things easier and help to not mess up the valve. And mine sits exactly like yours on the rim so do t worry about that. Also make sure to let out a lot of air to make valve easier to bend to fit on adapter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Spalding Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 Happy to say that little used attachment to my air compressor had just the perfect angle so that I could pry up the valve stem and get a good seal and fill the tire which was at 38 pounds, by the way.

Citi Wheel Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 1 hour ago, Greg Spalding said: the tire is at 43 psi Keep it on the lower end of the recommended PSI (20?), when you're first starting out. It'll give the tire slightly more surface area, which will help a lot when first learning. Just don't hit any big bumps when the tire pressure is low because you risk popping the inner tube.
