Jackson, I assume that the goop you mention is that goop in the wheel well =
- not the soapy fluid that the tire guys add to get the tire to spring onto=
the shoulder when fitting?
In this cae the goop is there as part of the wheel manufacture - Dayton.
Spoke adjustment is really a non issue with good wheels - unless abused on =
kerbs etc, in which case you have bigger problems. I have never adjusted a=
sopke in my life - no need to do so.
Agree that over fat tubes that fold inside the tire are a NO NO....
