I realize there's some cost to this, perhaps not much more than the adapters mentioned above, but any reason you aren't using the Nano ratchet that is intended to be used with these sockets? 783105 or 78318.

Yes, the male taper is pretty rough. That's not always a show stopper though. Did you measure runout yet or how did you determine you needed bearings? Start there and see what you get. You might think your chuck is "good" or appears in good shape, but could (also) be contributing to...

I was just going to respond with both Crest and Branson.

Is there any reason to spend time on looking at products other than Milwaukee Pack Out? I'm not blind to the fact that other companies have some decent offerings, but in less than an hour at Home Depot you could build whatever you think you need. It's like legos for big kids. You can pick up...

Water restrictions? What’s that? 😂

I've been using Stans regular. Haven't branched out much to try others. Sealants seem to be near and dear to many, some swear there's only one in the world that works... It seems like they have all gotten stupid expensive.

There are many tapes that are similar, but lack characteristics (stretch, adhesive, don't leave residue on rim, etc.) that make a tape good or better for taping rims. Tubless tapes also come slit in a variety of widths which off the shelf tapes do not.

The Lezyne plugs appear to be the same thing as commercially available tire plugs. What's your method to get all of the sealant off the surrounding area and prep the tire? It seems impossible to completely remove sealant. I haven't used the Reserve tape but would definitely like to try it...

The real benefit of using a tensiometer is being able to get the spoke tension even throughout the wheel (or per side). The absolute value, while nice if it were spot on and correlated to spoke tension, is less important. What I'm trying to say, is don't be concerned about purchasing a cheap...

I always leave the last portion of the bead off, dumps some sealant in, and then finish installing the tire. Why hassle with putting it in through the valve stem?

It's like the modern day Paul Powerglide.

Hanger Alignment? What's that? :cool:

Lots of cool blades here. Please make sure to note make/model so we're not left guessing.

I'm in! Thank you!
