selling things

[RobertWichert]

This is serious. You CANNOT sell a KLR once you have been on the DSN KLR list. Not allowed. Robert Wichert P.Eng. LEED AP BD&C +1 916 966 9060 FAX +1 916 966 9068 ===============================================

OK, I forget and I'm not thinking clearly enough to reason it out... If you are going to only carry one tube, which one do you carry? Will the front tube fit on the back (too large diameter, too small cross section) or will the back fit on the front (too small diameter, too large cross section). I am tending towards front will fit on the back, but it would fold over and fail quickly, I think. ???????????????????? Robert Wichert P.Eng.

RW- one tube = the larger of the two. I recently saw what a larger tube used in the rear looks like; an 18" in a 17" K270. YIKES! IT was double dog scary looking the creases in the tube. I think you will get a near 100% unanimous (wink) heated agreement, using the wrong size tube is/should be an emergency replacement procedure and not to be used longer than necessray...though many continue to ride on it for miles and miles. As for me and my house; I carry an extra tube for each tire. If it goes flat, I (hopefully)only have to change it once, and fix the flat tube later when it is most conveinent without dismounting a tire twice to fix one flat. = replacing the incorrect tube at camp/home. Historically, I have never had a front KLR flat in some 70K miles. shrug. All the flats were rear; 3 rear tires, one of which was flat in the garage. Two nails and a ripped out stem. One last comment on carrying tubes; my Wolfman fender bag realistically only holds one tube. One significantly helpful tip (from Jeff Saline) for later trailside flats; when you are changing/instlling tires in the comfort of your garage, clean the tire goo next to the bead-seat throughly so you will have an easier installation later. We clean the rims so that with your eyes closed, you can not feel any tire residue on the rim. You can use scotch brite or a wire wheel on an electric/battery or air driven tool. revmaaatin. who hates flats, and wonders why would you want to carry only one tube? Sometimes, two is not enough!

I have known two people have blowouts on the front....possibly the stem being ripped out by screwing the stem nut down to the rim??? Or screwing tight to the aircap??? Like dirt bikers say to do as the tube moves around in off road banging around. Opinions??? Me no like high speed front air failure. Criswell Sent from my iPad
