But there wasn't much wear on the tires. The front wheel didn't seem to be sitting right in the fork when I took it off. I figured he had tried to remove it and then gotten scared off by the motor wiring. But when I went to snug it up properly after putting in the rim tape and tube I discovered it needed a washer or two on the inside of the fork so the hub wouldn't bind up.<br /><br />I don't see how the tube could have withstood full inflation, let alone riding, with no rim strip at all.cafiendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05749761363337659545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9241204.post-33505838063201079802014-07-12T20:02:07.396-05:002014-07-12T20:02:07.396-05:00How far did he ride without a rim strip?How far did he ride without a rim strip?Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13313339952032622637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9241204.post-60280135926432931962014-07-12T14:47:56.139-05:002014-07-12T14:47:56.139-05:00On my own initiative I peeked under the rear tire....On my own initiative I peeked under the rear tire. Inexplicably, it HAD a rim strip. I just forgot to mention it as I pecked my hurried post. Work day blogging ends up pretty sloppy when there's actual work. ;-)cafiendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05749761363337659545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9241204.post-14925112812273477782014-07-12T12:50:14.701-05:002014-07-12T12:50:14.701-05:00lolWUT???
