The powder is mainly there to reduce friction between the tire and tube, not just to reduce pinch flats. Especially critical when running a tubeless type tire with a tube.

What i do when installing a new tube is inflate and deflate the tire a few times with the core out to make sure that the tube doesn't have any pinches, folds or whatever. Regular baby powder works for me.

Everything that is shipped to me from the west comes through Salt Lake. It is FREAKING CLOSE!!!

Just got back from the gas station. Got $20 worth of 93 octane, non ethanol fuel. Brought 2 jugs, a one gallon and a 5 gallon. Filled up most of the one gallon first to get rid of the alleged 87 octane ethanol fuel in the hose, then went to the 5 gallon and got it pretty well filled.

Good strategy on the fuel. I like to follow corvettes and ferraris on the pump. I watch for it... They always get no ethanol premium, and leave behind a quart or two of clean fuel in the hose. Heh Heh

Holy crap, it's on the move!!! I'm betting the "destination terminal" is in Rock Springs, location of the nearest Walmart. lol

Also, UPS just dropped off the T4 Rotella 15w40. It's actually starting to come together!!
