I know these feels.
Ended up renting a garage and now wash it at work (when working weekends). I resorted to cleanig it in the shower before

LOL! That's amazing. Pics?
If I rented a garage in London, I wouldn't be able to afford to go mountain biking. Meh.

Haha, sadly no photos! I shall if I ever have to resort to it again. Not worth the effort, makes a right mess of everything.
Thankfully my bike doesn't see mud anymore, so it's normally just a rinse over
My garage is 7.50Euros a month! Bargain.
You want pics of him in the shower
Well he does have an Aeris, so I feel that we're quite close

Did my bike in the bath/shower when I lived in a flat. Oh the joys of having a garden and driveway now

Should have the TLE on the tyre in a grey box near the name. If that's the case follow the guide on the stans website.
Seat tube or headtube?

Struggling with tyre choice, looking for a 700 x 2.1. The width is the limiting factor and I want a mountain type tyre
A Botranger 2.1 is just about right but wears very rapidly
http://www.schwalbe.com/gb/offroad-reader/smart-sam-plus.html Are just to wide and under load rub on the frame
Is there a puncture proof tyre as the Schwalbe in a 2.00 width.
This is the problem trying to fit grippier tyres to a hybrid

700c is the same as a 29er right?
Most schwalbe tyres (mtb) start at 2.10 IIRC.
edit nope.
Nothing is puncture proof, but I doubt they'll cause too much hassle. Unless your destroying rock gardens at 22psi.

It is yes. The Schwalbe tyre I've got sits nicely and is great but if I apply some proper pressure just rubs on the frame.
Think I'll give http://www.wiggle.co.uk/continental-race-king-pure-grip-29er-folding-mtb-tyre/ a try at 2.0
I have those on my 29er and they look very narrow compared to my other tyres, never actually measured it though. I suspect it's a little under 2.0
Also have the smart sams that you linked before in 700c x 40 on my CX bike. They would be fine for a hybrid too.
guys, i used to always use rock n roll gold lube for my bike but it doesn't seem to be that readily available anymore. any other good alternatives? Ideally fairly cheap
I use this, its great

Me too, but wet lube works better in the rainy months.
