You may want to put a few more pounds of air in those tires...

Nah, maybe they are tubeless.
It's not your strength or skill. It's your level of commitment.

I like to run low pressure!
Actually, my air chuck was in the garage. I was too lazy to get it. Wheels are just temp mounted anyway. Many more things to do. A chain and cog is important too!

New build all set. Went as smooth as butter. No issues at all.

Finally got a few short laps in, and so far I'm digging it. Recycled the drivetrain off my old stumpy, and have noticed some roughness. I'll get that worked out shortly.
