 Converting the Quest wheels
Today I drilled out the valve holes on the Quest in order to adapt the wheels to accept Schraeder Valve tubes, which are easy to add in no-leak fluid. I also made a slight adjustment to the rear suspension. The front suspension needs a minor adjustment but I am not sure how to do it.

The tires were replaced with new 26 x 1.25 Forte Metro-K MTB; The older replaced tires are still workable, and will be saved as back-ups for either the Dahon, the Sofrider rear wheel, or the Quest as needed. Additionally, I removed and saved the tire liners for installation either on the Globe, Castro Valley, Ginny's Raleigh, or the Sofrider Drive Wheel.
