Ask Pinkbike: Tubeless Setup, Cleat Trouble, Wide Tires
There is one point I have not seen in the thread yet... First when installing a new tire, its quite easy to damage the sealing area if the tire does not go on easily and needs the assistance of tire levers.... Put the tire in the sun for half an hour or heat it up with a blow dryer to soften the rubber.. tire will mount and seal much more easily especially on hard tires.. Also don't forget the soap... Never had a problem with tubeless ready rims and schwalbe tires using this method..

Küat NV 2.0 Rack - Review
@groghunter: I have one that works from a cheap bit set (A screw extractor also would also work).. There are plenty of good and cheap hitch locks available that are quite difficult to cut without proper tools and time.. A thief is going to go after whatever he can defeat with tools on hand.. If he is looking for something specific he/she will take it regardless.. The security part really doesn't matter, its all a matter of supply and demand and making it as inconvenient for a potential thief.. If you have bikes locked on either rack, properly to the frame of the car and to the rack, I doubt either would be a primary target. But the main thing in my mind is how stable a rack is, and loaded with bikes (especially DH) on it the KUAT wins.

Küat NV 2.0 Rack - Review
@twozerosix: The 1 up stores easier than the NV, but for bike stability when transporting the Kuat NV wins hands down.. My biking buddy bought a 1up rack a few months ago, I have the original NV, and there is no comparison. When the bikes are on her rack there is a lot of movement, Zero on the NV.. Their security hex is no security at all.. I rather use a real hitch lock..

Küat NV 2.0 Rack - Review
@bman33: proprietary hex key.. are you joking.. for less than 10 bucks you can get a 100 bit security bit set that includes one that fits... if you have a drill press and a good bit you can make your own

Maxxis Minion DHR II, about 2 months of riding on it, still has plenty of life.
