Speaking of tubeless, I am going to replace the valve on the wheelbarrow wheel, but will need to find a way to re-seat the bead. No way I can do this with my bike pump or even with a C02.
I see some pretty cool YouTube videos that involve lighter fluid and a match. Anyone ever try this??

Saw this on Vintage Philly. Brought back memories. I worked in a cart just like that during the summer of '82. $25/day in cash at the end of each day. Usually all $1 bills. That was good money back then. Mom didn't even mind if I dropped a few dollars at the arcade after work. I believe Bil Keane was from Philly.

But it’s America’s team, man. What kind of New England transplanted commie are you?

I saw that too, but the explosive pyrotechnics seems more trick.

Most of the carts were owned by Greeks. Many of them would smuggle cash back to Greece in the summer and eventually retire back there. They would sell the “business” to another Greek who would come over and run it, or their kids would take over. My boss did the latter. In ‘91 I stopped at a cart for a pretzel. The guy working the cart said “You used to work for my dad.”

The silver lining was that the timing wasn't too bad. The low pressure light came on, but I ignored it because it has a history of false positives. A few minutes down the road, the car started to noticeably drift to one side, but we were less than a mile to our destination - the bike shop. The wife needed a helmet and I needed some new tubeless valves, so she did a little shopping while I swapped the wheel in the parking lot.
you just can’t catch a break from essential things breaking.

So if I may brag on AG for a bit, for the techier-minded among you, this is what she's been working on for over a year:

I can try, but if I need 1 hand to squirt the fuel and 1 hand to hold the lighter/match I won’t have a hand to hold my iPhone. And if I ask mrs datlas to help she won’t let me play with fire.
