A little lightning never killed anyone anyways…oh wait…maybe it did.

Lower Twin Lake is right around 7,100 feet. Those peaks are in the 12’s.

Thanks Will, it’s hard not to take great shots around here. Reminds me of your part of the world a little.

Twin lakes road heading west out of Bridgeport. We’re staying at my parents cabin between Upper and Lower Twin Lakes.

Ok, so how high is the elevation there. I can see tree-line, so I am guessing 9000ft?

Good to know. I might try this on my next tire change.

Sure Scott, I’ll keep you posted. I’ve got enough miles on the MTB tubeless to know I’d never go back, mainly because of the low pressure factors. Lower pressure is just way, way better.

I’ve replaced the tires on my MTB and the sealant is in there - I just hosed it out and wiped my rims down with a rag. There was also a little strip of dried sealant around the old tire to deal with, but neither of these things were serious impediments.

This is intriguing. Flats are definitely a part of cycling I could do without. Will you do a follow-up after a few thousand miles of road riding? For that matter, trail riding too!

This could be huge for my commuter bike. It’s a mountain bike fitted with road slicks. Conti and Panaracer make some ok flat-resistant tires but I haven’t found anything to ward off those pesky Michelin wires that work their way through the Kevlar and are close to impossible to find once they’ve been sheared off.

I’d like to know how messy it is to change a tire after it’s worn out - what happens with all that sealant?
