Hey guys, I'm curious whether or not the Oneup EDC tool will fit in a rockshox boxxer. I don't see why not as the tool is the same diameter throughout. I see that One up says it has to be a tapered steerer, but that doesnt make sense cuz the tool cant be wider at the bottom...otherwise you couldnt pull it out of the steerer tube. Note: I don't care if i'm "not supposed to do it" nor do I care if its a safety hazard. I just want to know if it would fit.
Lots of straight steer tube have a taper as well. they get smaller towards the bottom which will prevent the tools from fitting.
That makes a lot of sense actually. Thanks for clearing that up!

I ran the EDC in a Fox 40. The tool will fit in there just fine, as it slides in above where the straight steerer starts to taper. You can't run the storage compartment or CO2 screwed onto the bottom of the tool though, not enough room for that. Just the tool, which is still better than not carrying any tools on the DH bike. You also can't run the plug that presses into the bottom of the steerer, so I just used a chunk of motto foam in there to stop mud and dirt from getting in.
riish, if the air loss doesn't stop, maybe raise the pressure a little to really force the sealant into the casing. Once air loss slows or stops at 50 - 60 psi, test whether air loss is effectively zero at normal riding pressure.
Got it to seal up after 36 hours of flipping and pumping, now it holds 25psi consistently. Thanks for the help!
You can also spray the inside of the sidewalls with Flex Seal or any rubber spray. I like Rust-Oleum LeakSeal. Only $10 a can. Works best with new (dry) tire.
I mounted up a new set of tires this morning but had to use a tube in the rear (long story). Of course, pinch flatted towards the end of my ride today and so i gotta take the tube out. But i literally cannot get the tire off of the wheel no matter how hard i pull. Can't even get a tire lever underneath. it's a WTB trail boss. Any tips for getting it off? i tried using a flathead screwdriver but stopped as i don't want to pierce the tire bead.

Get your thumbs together down low and push the bead towards the center of the rim. Sometimes pushing them towards the center channel can help them slide off the hook bead.

get a big industrial trash can, lay the wheel flat on the edge, and put all your weight down on the tire with hands on opposite sides.
