Factory 650b wheels are pre taped with 27.5+ tires are tubeless compatible. There is a thread on mtbr.com where a few people converted and said it was the easiest bike to do a conversion they have done yet.

My alternative power “vehicle” (on the roof) going tubeless! I’ve never had a bike without tubes, should be fun.

Is this going to be the next gasoline where there are hundreds of thousands of gallons of crude available but someone will “speculate” and prices will triple and profits will break records, then they will say “oh we over estimated demand vs the shortage, sorry we ran triple profits for 6 months, here is a lower price…

Yeah my first thought was “oh look, a $100k mazda”

North Korea... I think you meant BEST Korea... amirite

Or see what an actual visit to N Korea entails by someone that is trying to assess whats actually happening vs “going viral”

Not surprised at all considering the Exelero Concept from a number of years back. Even when the first side profile teaser came out people were noting the similarities.

In the current days of internet transparency, the “shadyness” of dealers has dwindled significantly. I worked in the business for 13 months at a Luxury dealership, did about 12-16 cars a month, I probably had 5-10 “shippers/exporters” come in each month and then multiply that by 6-10 salesmen, you can see the volume…

It certainly could be, I’m just curious about the other side of the story and if this guy did some things that made them suspect since I can tell you, Dealerships do anything they can to sell every car they can unless they truly fear the car is going to export. Short of the Manager being truly ignorant/racist, it…

Well when a huge part of your Budget and staffing is based on criminalization of something, you are going to double down on holding on to that pile of cash as long as possible.

The story. Shared was of a white guy and his pregnant wife we turned away, I would say 3/4 of the attempted shippers were white. It usually came down to configuration, method of payment and trade vehicle. Like I said this guy doesn’t strike me as an exporter from his side, but when someone came in looking white/black…

Yes and no, you sign a Non Export agreement, also you can lose the privilege to ever buy from the brand again usually. That said, if Mercedes is anything like other luxury SUV makers, the Dealer is accountable if the car is exported and thus will limit sales to anyone too high risk. Wouldn’t be surprised if the…

Yeah I think you misunderstand what he’s saying. For example $1,000 in Boston will get me 2 nights hotel and a decent dinner. That same money when I visited Sorrento Italy (a decent tourist town) got me a weeks hotel overlooking the Mediterranean, eating out every day, trips to Mt Vesuvius, Guided tour of Pompeii, day…

Hi almost neighbor Justin Hughes. Your area is in fact full of great roads. Here are some more photos I snapshotted when it first came up.

I have the FB app on iOS but I have not done messenger, other than an initial prompt window saying “don’t you want the messenger app” to which I click no, the mobile site works just like the app should.

anyone who does not love that show after 5 minutes.

California also worked to reduce/eliminate gerrymandering, has been a supporter of LGBT rights, has embraced Medical Marijuana and all types of entrepreneurs/industry... California is the exception not the rule in America.

I live outside of Boston and I can say that the Chinese are flooding the private schools here with their kids. I used to sell LUXURY vehicles and would have probably 20% of my customers coming in from Boston looking to buy $70-100k+ cars/trucks cash. Biggest standout was one 20 something traded in a 2015 Mercedes S63…

Part of why the US >40 economy is so stagnant. Overqualified workforce with $600-$1,500 monthly student loan payments that is being paid to banks and universities rather than being reinvested into homes, goods, services, etc. It has been shown repeatedly, basically any excess money earned by those earning under…

And on that bombshell... G’night
