Tango Shopping!

A shopping list for everything you need to make degrease your chain and to convert your tyre to tubeless! 

There are two things that I would highly recommend you to do, both of these are a bit of a hack, BUT both of them are tasks that makes you feel you have accomplished something and you will reap the benefits for months after you have done them.


1. De-grease your chain

2. Convert your tyres to tubeless


Both of these are straight forward, but can potentially turn into a major faff, below are all the products you need to make your life easier to complete these tasks!


Happy Shopping!

Park tool cleaning brushes gets into all the nooks and crannies to clean your bike. 
SEAL, tubeless sealant from Squirtlube is the last ingredient you need to complete your tubeless conversion. I find the more generous you are with the sealant, the better is your success to 'pop' your tyre quickly. 
Tubeless Rim Tape - To convert your wheels to tubeless, you need a few essentials of which rim tape is one, the rim tape helps seal the rim so that the spoke holes are completely blocked which prevents any air or liquid from escaping. 
The Sahmurai Sword was developed by ex-pro mountain biker, Stephan Sahm, use this kit to fix your tubeless tyres in no time.
