I might have to put the tyres on without a tube a couple of times to loosen them up so this doesn't happen again.

Got caught out on the trail on the weekend. Schwalbe Marathon Pluses. They're cows to "feel" the presure through due to the reinforced tread. Started with a pinch flat over roughish ground... obviously a bit under inflated. One snapped valve & another pinched tube later ... the 3rd and last spare goes on OK - without levers... my cold blackened hands were the only fitting tool required.lunar_c wrote:I just popped a Continental race tube putting the tyres on though. Pinched it when mounting the tyres (Continental Ultra Race) they are new folders, very tight. Haven't pinched a tyre in years. It went BANG.
I find I have to revise my fitting technique with each different tyre I try.
Hit me up via the BNA dm; I'll get an alert. If y'know, you know.

Now that your 'friends' have locked you into Campagnolo - Veloce or Centaur?

I'll be ordering my groupset soon .. Can't wait! I prefer Veloce because of the polished aluminium finish. Jumping to modern wheels and groupset from my previous road bike build (6 speed with downtube shifters) is going to be quite an experience, and given it's on par with Shimano 105 it should be all I ever need.
I'll grab another tube today so I can put the front tyre on properly!

Anyways heres a proper pic .. because I wanted to ask you guys what colour bar tape and cable outer do you think would suit? I'm tossing up between yellow or red .. white won't work unless I go with a white saddle as well. I'm happy to keep the black Selle Italia Flite on there but am trying to work out what bar tape will make it all work.

It matches.. and it's practical. Unless you want to pfaff around with yellow cloth tape, layers of shellac and thereby making them the colour easily cleaned.
I'm sorry - bar tape is the one bit of a bike I still consistently err towards function over form.
This is a new bike, you're not familiar with really riding it. You're still dialling in your personal dimensions & geometry. You're likely to want to change the stem/bars//levers etc before too long after this build. Go with something cheapy in black till you and the machine are better dialled in together.
