As we left the gym I looked at my partner and blamed him for suggesting we come to this lousy joint in the first place.

Q for the tubeless gurus -
I'm losing large amounts of air in my tubeless tires, both lose roughly 50% in 24 hours.
I know the likely culprits - stem o-ring, tape, bead seating. The beads are well seated. I'm using the Trek rim strip that came with the wheels. Same with the stems.
Any troubleshooting methods other than taking it all apart, replacing items on a shotgun basis, and reassembling?

My partner and I walked into a gym one day looking to just shoot around a bit. We found 2 other guys there already, just shooting around a bit. Heh, that automatically calls for a scrimmage game, so we face off. Turns out the guy I was checking, because he was my height, was some kind of serious ballplayer because he hardly missed a shot. There was little I could do to keep him from scoring, I mean the game wasn't even competitive, it was embarrassing.
As we left the gym I looked at my partner and blamed him for suggesting we come to this lousy joint in the first place.

I mentioned this to another clubmate who told me the guy is a retired MLB player. He clearly had superior DNA, at least for sports.

Forgot to mention. The quadzilla I rode with this morning brought me a pair of brand new GP4000 for The Lance. Super nice of him, I havnt been riding it because I don’t trust the R3 tires that I had on it, and I didn’t want to ride in my neighborhood unless I had too.
Now I just need another set of pedals. Preferably a power meter but regular pedals will do. I don’t like constantly pulling pedals off bikes. I know it should be fine, but still gives me the jeebs

I want a new pair of GP4Ks. Best tire I’ve ever had (I had the S2s).
Couldn’t even get the 5K on my wheel before giving up. I still have the other one that never came out of the box if anyone wants it. My second favorite tire is the Michelin Pro 4 series but I can’t find them anywhere.
Hopefully the Schwalbes I picked up work well.

This morning I rode around the neighborhood and went to the model airport. A guy drove in with 2 planes in his truck and I chatted with him a bit. It was windy and he said he would fly his foam based plane because it's easier to repair than the wood framed one. He said the wind at ground level could be different than higher up, especially with the runway being shielded.
He said most of the people who fly there are using electric but there are a few still using gas. One day I rode by there and there was a jet flying and the sound it made had me thinking it was electric. He said there are people flying electric jets, too.
Anyway I watched him fly for a few minutes and it was impressive.

I really don’t need a second divorce on my resume. In all fairness, all of the above were pre-marital interests (and assets?) and she knew what she was getting into, but adding to the mix would just spell doom.

I’ve always been interested in model planes. It’s quite a black hole though. Like bikes. And cars. And shotguns. And HAM radios. And golf.
I really don’t need a second divorce on my resume. In all fairness, all of the above were pre-marital interests (and assets?) and she knew what she was getting into, but adding to the mix would just spell doom.

And what a boring, one sided game.
