Roxy: Slime

Thrilled that the new Slime inflator worked as expected.  Was expecting some kind of kink, but the machine itself seems solid (given I've only used it once).  And the Toppeak connector did the trick.  I was able to remove the valve without losing any air.

The Slime works fast on these small tires, too.  It added 8 lbs of air in 10 seconds, which is much more than I'll usually need.  It's a good thing it only takes a few seconds, though, as it's certainly loud when it's on.  Not to where you need ear plugs, but it's definitely not quiet.

The best thing is that both the power cord and air hose stow away neatly for storage.

Great addition to the garage!

Roxy: The Smallest Things...

Did the simplest thing first to check the racing idle, and found the throttle screw was very loose.  Removed it and found the spring was missing!  Obvious...  Re-adjusted and got back to a gentle idle speed.

Will need to test it on another long ride...


For reference, the throttle screw is backed out 5/8th of a turn.  The air screw is 7/8th out.

Rode to the end of Great Highway and back (45 mins).  Nice ride but noticed she was idling very fast about 20 minutes into the ride, and when I got back, the fins would sizzle water.  Overheating...?
