 For the tubeless locknut issue I carry the little pliers from the one up edc tool. I took a file and lightly serrated the jaws so they grip it. Works a treat.

 YES little pliers can be useful, but when is this tubeless valve issue going to have a better solution?
  • 1 0
 @aljoburr: I am not sure what I'm missing.. never really had a problem with my tubeless valves or getting the lock nut open by hand.
Trying to think of a better solution.. no idea. Maybe I'm just not creative enough

 @aljoburr: put a wing nut on that valve!

 Really looking forward to a review on the Vitus bike. Hoping it’s a decent bike to recommend for someone getting into it. Geo looks good.

 Lavender Bombers, for the masses, when?

 GT has Calibre and Vitus beat on the prices, guess I'll buy an e-bike then

 What's going to depreciate faster; one Huracan or 20 RM Instinct Carbon 99's?

 I carry a Leatherman Squirt, specifically for the pliers, to remove the valve nut if needed. The knife blade and bottle opener are nice to have, also.
