What’s the Tarck consensus on frame saver?

Just went to start building my frame and realized I did not plan ahead on that one. Turns out local shops don’t carry the JP Weigel/Problem Solvers stuff. WD-40 makes a corrosion inhibitor that I can get today and a MTBR thread says it works better.

Anyone have any experience with this stuff?

Did boeshield on one of my bikes and it was a sticky mess. Just yolo the WD-40 stuff because in the PNW I don’t think it’s critical like maybe some other places.

What’s the 650X42 tire that I want that isn’t made by panaracer?

G one allround 650b40 measured about 42 for me

The Donnelly Strada USH is ok. IRC Boken is probably the best smooth/hybrid tread. I think Panaracer makes all the slicks in this size. I gave up on it for this reason.

These are all the models I could find back in December:

Can I use this as a SS chainring for 3/32 chain ? Doesn’t seem obviously ramped to me. https://www.cycle-logic.biz/product/sram-mountain-steel-chainring-380338-1.htm

should work fine. modern narrow wide stuff also works fine with 3/32 (have an nx 1x11 crankset on my dirt jumper with a 3/32nd chain).

But be aware of my recent tale of woe regarding G-One Speeds. I’m waiting to hear back on a warranty claim now.

The Donnelly Strada USH are intriguing.

there’s a Marathon Supreme in that size now

I think with the fancy rubber, but not advertised as tubeless

There is some Teravail and Pirelli stuff in that size if you want tubeless.
