Anyone got a bead on a set?
Make/model do not really matter. I still like the Sand Stars the best for the way I ride.

I've called on several adds, some have sold already and still waiting for response on others.

I really only need rears, but have called on a few full sets. They have all been around $200 for full or $100-125 for rears.

I can swap out between my bikes, but it would be nice to have another set of paddles.

Found a set of rears.
Going out to get them later tonight.

Well, maybe since I posted, but it has been a few days to get someone that still had the tires.

Did you get a new or used set?

Used. $100 for skats. They should do for now.

Busted. One is good, one is flat since saturday.
Might just be the valve. Changed one out, not sure which one it was. Should have done both.

I have two valve stems I just took off Mitchell's rims, they're in good shape. The new rims came with valve stems so I took the old one off just to have a spare set. I put them in the RV so we can change them if you want to. I also have my bead breaker and tire irons.

Thanks.
Yeah. I have 4 or 5 extra vs's. I just need to take a look to see if it is the one I changed or not and change it out if needed.
I think it just might be a typical bead issue if not a vs, so yeah, I will probably need the bead breaker to reset the bead. Thanks.

Drop by a Napa Auto Parts store and get some bead sealer if you can. I think I used all mine but I'll look to see if I have the can somewhere.

Oh no, can't get enough torque out of a wood stick. I need a 2x4 piece of 6' solid steel, I like to break shit.

Tried 3 Orielly/Kragen and 2 AutoZone and a couple local cycle shops and noone carries Bead Sealer.

I located a NAPA that is on the way home from work. I'll try there tonight.

Last resort. There's always Vendors Row.

Found some.

NAPA no longer at that location.
Had to go to a Tire shop and they sold me a can.
