Maybe some, but I like them. I wished they last a tad longer, though. And they’re relatively inexpensive.Can you feel that tread on pavement?
I tried a Laam seat well. Spent a lot of time discussing what I wanted with him (flat seat that doesn't force me to sit back into a pocket) and he sent me a seat that forced me to sit back into a pocket. Sent it back to get reworked, but it was pretty much the same. Sold it and got a Seat Concepts, which worked better. On my current S10 I'm running a Terry seat, best seat yet by far.I had a laam on my fjr. It was a nice seat. I tried several times contacting him about doing one for the tenere and never got any response. That was 5 months ago. I got Terry adcox to build mine and he answers messages within an hour or so. Very responsive and a nice seat also. Just got it a few days ago.
Showed up this morning. 2217 and 2717 dates.That's what I suspected. $69 for a back tire? Holy s**t good price. Still, not a deal breaker.
As long as it works for you, who cares what anyone else thinks? Besides, you have a giant ladybug bike bell on there too, so most people will smile, not make fun.Version 2
More reaming and glue. It can be a pain to re-do a bonded in sticky string. I've just used a drill to drill out the first attempt sticky string so I could re-do it. Try to center the drill on the leak, if you can identify it with some soapy water. No need to attempt to remove it all either, just a small drill bit which will make a nice clean hole, hopefully centered on the slow leak.I plug it but with no glue which most of the times works
can you get away with using the smallest cable ties in the middle like these i think 100mm x 2.5mmWay back when I got the bike last Septemberish, I put small zip ties on the spokes, front and back, just in case they came loose.
I went in yesterday and actually torqued down the spokes, just to get them back into spec (like 2k miles since I bought it at the dealership, so not many) - two of the spokes on the rear wheel were so loose that they wouldn't even engage the stop on the torque wrench to move it in the opposite direction for tightening (think spinning in place loose). All the spokes on the front wheel were already at spec
Glad I took the time to finally check/torque them down, also really glad (no matter how many times I got asked why I did it, maybe because I used neon orange zip ties) I put the little zip ties on each spoke bundle.
I forgot I had a 1/4" torque wrench on hand that did in-lbs - so I had to get a 1/4" female to 3/8" male adapter to put my 5" ball end 5mm hex socket on.

I did it again and its holding perfectly. Sometimes the hole is at an angle so the plug might not sit right if you dont rem it at the right angle. Also the belt might get in the way of finding the right angle.More reaming and glue. It can be a pain to re-do a bonded in sticky string.

Rob, when you do it don't pull the ties too tight, just want them tight enough to stop one flailing around if it comes loose.thanks for the reply there on order

Glad you put that up. I didn't really consider the spokes need to flex.Rob, when you do it don't pull the ties too tight, just want them tight enough to stop one flailing around if it comes loose.

@yoyo is spot on. I've read some reports of stress cracks on spokes because people snugged them up tight. I put mine on just a tad loose for that reason.Glad you put that up. I didn't really consider the spokes need to flex.
