Save $ - Go Tubeless w/ Gorilla Tape

My friend Andy mentioned the "ghetto tubeless" concept of using a $3 roll of 1" Gorilla Tape and a old tube valve stem instead of an expensive tubeless conversion kit.

The MTBR discussion on Ghetto Tubeless covers the details and links to a few youtube videos.

we are the robot pirates...

stolen bike!

fellow pirates - I had my commuter / bar bike stolen on campus tonight in the 6th street garage around 7 pm. yes, lesson learned...use a U-lock and not a cable lock. guess I had a false sense of security because I was getting pizza not 30 yards away. I'll be trolling craigslist and I did file a report with the local police. it's a Cutter Bones fixie (I don't have any pics available):
cutter bones

I changed a few parts so it has a distinctive black and white checkered flat handlebar, GX1 Ergon grips, a New Belgium bell, and a sticker that says "Ride a Fucking Bike" ...pardon the expletives.
