Re: I Shook it loads and loads. These are tubeless coatis though, so they should seal. the holes are actually tiny little pinprick punctures as I can see the cut on the outside. The stuff just doesn't work. Ive had a look at the Conti instructions (thanks for pointing me that way) and the revo...

Re: I’ve riden them about 10 times. They take about 24 hours to go down, so not noticeable on the ride itself.

Hi all, I've just converted one MTB to tubeless using brand new Conti tubeless ready tyres, and a Stan's conversion kit, on DT Swiss rims. All looked good, until I noticed that the tyres were dropping to 10-20psi after each ride. A soapy water test revealed about 10 tiny holes on the tread...

Re: Well it seems there isn't much choice out there, which is perhaps a good thing! I looked at the Royce ones, gorgeous I have to say, but 300 quid is a to for something I am never going to see! I've gone for a S/H XT one from allthingsbike, hopefully this will be good. I was a bit worried...

All sorted now, the new cassette fixed it, no surprise there really! Although 17 years old, it was in storage for most of that till I bought it last year, so the rings don't look worn at all, though of course they have worn to fit the previous chain.

So with a little play developing in my BB, I have decided to replace the BB on my RC200 F5. I have got the old one out, and it is a Shimano BB UN72. I thought i might be able to replace it with a new one, but of course being an old bike, they are no longer available it seems! :facepalm...

Re: Thanks everyone, new cassette ordered, only 9 quid, so it has to be worth a try!

Re: Re: The chain kept snapping, through age I guess! Whilst 17 years old, 10 of those years were in storage, so it hasn't seen a lot of use till now.

I've just fitted a new chain to my Pacey RC200 after the old one finally gave out, it was the original one I think! 17 years service! :D Everything works fine, except for the 12 cog on the rear cassette, when the power is down the chain keeps skipping. most other cogs are fine, so it is...

Re: black or chrome?

I'm looking for a 1" Chris King headset for my Pace, does anyone have one knocking around they don't need anymore?

The V's are brilliant I have to say, plenty of stopping power, as good as discs in my opinion, and lighter too. The correct decals for these are blue with orange writing, in know this as they rubbed off a few years ago. Correct or not, I prefer the simple elegant Pace wording as it goes nicely...
