You have done a very impressive build. Would love to see it sometime. Probably not too far from you.

Finally found a radial tire in the sizes I'm running - Bridgestone T32 110/80/18 & 140/70/18. I also went with the Outex Tubeless kit. Wasn't easy to install but it removed over a 1lb from the front and 1.5lbs from the rear with the removal of the inner tubes. I also used this opportunity to do a deep clean on the wheels. I've put about 100 miles on the tires and can confirm that they are black and that they roll. Its been cold, wet, and the roads still have lots of leaves, but every now and then we get a nice day in the mix.
