I'd argue that your tyre pressure gauge (whether it's a dedicated gauge or part of your pump) doesn't have to be accurate, just consistent. In other words if you find your perfect pressures and *your* gauge says that's 24psi and 27psi it doesn't matter if that's actually 22psi and 25psi as long as you always use the same gauge.
I like this video, for me it is informative on a couple items I previously skipped. Thanks
Wish they offered that Juliana color on the 5010

My nuke-proof giga 297 was stolen 3 weeks ago so now I'm trying to give up mountain biking but keep thinking about it

Ditto, what the heck happened?
Way higher than my pressures. I normally run 17 front, 20 back give or take one psi and across my bikes. I’m 185lbs in UK

Wow! I’m 57kg (don’t know the conversion) and run 55 psi in the rear (with a tube as I dented my rim so not tubeless anymore) 45 psi in the front tubeless with tire insert. I ride dirt jumps (have a Hightower v2) so maybe that’s a factor - but I just let the tires tread do the grip work

We all have our tortures. I watched a Bugatti video last night, never going to own one but enjoyed the entertainment and daydreaming.
Well this is job security for bike shops, medical clinics, and bike part suppliers🤦♂️ thx👎.

What happens to the headset adjustment when you take the stem off to change the spacing??? It’s pretty important to have a proper adjust after reassembling. Not to mention there are torque specs on the stem clamp bolts. To not make sure that the viewer is aware of these issues is a disservice. If a headset assembly fails while being ridden, it’s considered catastrophic.
