Preparation for Romania Downhill Cup - Azuga - August 21-22, 2026

In the meantime, the Tannus inserts have arrived, they look like something out of a sci-fi movie, coiled up, with the consistency of the material, what more can we say, high-tech:

I used a soapy water solution to make everything slide easily, aligned the insert with the valve, installed it nicely in the rim, then carefully inserted the tire, skillfully and with strength in about 3 minutes, not to brag. Well, the tire was already mounted on the other side after I mounted both, then I deflated, lowered, and opened one side where I inserted the insert.

Resources: alone, two feet, two hands, and a lever.

New rim (the old one got punctured at Cheile Gradistei, you could see through it), new disc and new pads:

I also did the 50H service on the shock and fork, to make it smooth and we are ready to run, well, Alex, because I will ride the electric Whistle C8.7, a delight. Those who want to test it, approach me, it's red, you can't miss it.

For the competition, make sure to do your services too, a Psst:
