Bike Work Update

The wheels are awsome! Granted I was running some pretty crappy wheels in the past, but these i9s are very impressive. And the Weirwolf, it's everything the exiwolf wasn't. Repeatedly I through the front into hard turns the exiwolf could never hold. Everytime the Weirwolf tracked true and sped me on down the trail.

Also Scott, who's had experience with NoTube's rims before, found a neat little trick on the Arch 29er rims. There are a series or pairs of tiny holes on the inside of the rim, probably used for assembly, that his previous NoTube's rims didn't have. After filling these holes with silicone, his sealing process went a lot faster then mine. I'm assuming now the seeping air I heard, was air traveling through these holes to the inside of the rim. Sure the liquid latex will fill and seal them eventually, but prefilling them helps the inflation/sealing process go faster.
