Hands On Clinic - Tubeless Tires Made Easy (11/04/2026)

Thu, 05 Nov 2026 01:30:00 GMT

Wednesday November 4th at 6:30 P.M.

This is a hands on clinic offered by Geoff Landon. Geoff has over 10 years of experience with tubeless on eight different bikes. Target audience includes members seriously considering switching to tubeless tires, members who have recently gone tubeless who are looking for information on how to keep their tubeless setup working, and experience tubeless users who are looking for easier ways to manage their setup. Topics will include:

How tubeless works, pros and cons
Things to avoid
Tubeless compatible vs. tubeless ready
Hooked vs. hookless rims
Setting up a wheel for tubeless (hands on)
Mounting a tire on a tubeless rim (hands on)
Sealant types and compatibility (hands on)
Sealant made as easy and clean as possible (how much to use, how often to refresh, how to clean up)
Tool recommendations

Members interested in mounting a tire or refreshing sealant on their own setup should bring their tubeless ready rim (clean), a tire that's compatible with the rim, and your sealant of choice.

There is no cost for this event. Pre-registration is required. The maximum number of attendees is 10; we will have a wait list. If demand exceeds space available, we will schedule other sessions. Finally, if there's demand for a daytime session we'll schedule it. Thank you!

Hands On Clinic - Chain Waxing (Rescheduled) (11/09/2026)

Tue, 10 Nov 2026 01:30:00 GMT

Monday November 9th at 6:30 P.M.

This is a hands on clinic offered by Geoff Landon. Target audience includes members considering chain waxing as an alternative to conventional chain lubricants. During the session, members who bring a new chain cut to length and a quick link will go home with a freshly waxed chain (bikes are optional but welcome). And note that chain waxing is not a lifetime commitment; when the wax wears off after 300 miles or so, just resume using conventional lubricants. Topics will include:

Chain waxing pros and cons
Things to avoid
Wax alternatives (drip vs. hot wax)
Hot wax materials and equipment
Cleaning the chain (hands on)
Hot waxing the chain (hands on)
Sealant types and compatibility (hands on)
Re-mounting the chain (restoring chain flexibility, bedding in the chain, quick links)
Tool recommendations

Please, be registered, if you intend to eat some of the food offered whether you do the bike ride or not.

Appetizers at Gary & Amy's before riding: pizza with sausage, et cetera.

Refreshments offered at Dorsi's: probably warm meat, warm vegetable dish, bread or chips, hot drinks / warm cider, and water. (There's a warm fireplace to sit by.)

Desserts at Gary & Amy's after riding.

Registration is to be open until a couple of days before the event. The ten-dollars-per-person payment is to be paid in-cash at the event.

Please, deck your bike out in lights, and wear your holiday kit for a fun and festive event!
