Wondering how to patch a tubeless tire? If you flat a tubeless tire while on a ride, you have three options for dealing with it so that you can keep riding: 1) Install an inner tube; 2) Inject pressurized sealant into it; and 3) Plug it.

When I built myself an e-bike and started riding it, I was coming off of 35 years of racing bikes and cross-country skis. At age 55, I was still winning lots of bike races until I suddenly developed a heart arrhythmia. I struggled for a few years with finding satisfying outdoor activities that didn’t set off my heart arrhythmia, and my cycling range had become shortened to a very small radius around my house, ridden solo at a slow pace. It was repetitive and uninteresting for someone used to using the bike to have fun and get to far-flung beautiful places while feeling my body get stronger. Fortunately, I soon discovered e-bikes and the many health benefits they offer.
This was one of the fastest gravel bikes we've built. It's a Custom Serrai Carbon Fiber gravel bike built with Sram Red eTap AXS components and Enve wheels and cockpit. The bike was built for a 6'5" rider with 195mm cranks paired with a Sram Red AXS power meter.
When a long time customer and professional photographer residing in Aspen, Jim Paussa, came to us with a unique request to build a 29+ custom bike with drop handlebars for bike packing, we jumped at the opportunity. This was not a commonly built style of bike, in fact, I don't think I've ever seen one before. We at Zinn Cycles always love this type of project.
