is with a bicycle ride <http://www.mellowjohnny/2005>.* Yesterday's 30-mile roll took me to Pt. Mugu and back. Along the way, I explored the campus of...
And for my New Year's, I took a hard 30km ride around the city. Now, 30km isn't normally hard, but we are having a hellacious southwind today. Temps are nice...
... Problem with noisy tires is noisy=friction and friction=rolling resistance. Anyone who knows my cycling style knows how hard I strive to minimize rolling...
I have not used any of those tires but don't buy the specialized fatboys (really skinny) they were marked for 100 PSI but they often blew off the rim poping...
Haven't used any of the tires listed, sorry, but heartily endorse your premise. When I was riding 26" on my commute, I used slicks (Continentals) with...
i havent had the best of luck with any specialized tires, really, mountain or road. ... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - Helps...
I've been commuting 21 miles each way and have had problems with flatting until last August, when I bought a Specialized Armadillo for the rear on my road...
I use the michelin axial carbons .Do not have the flat tire problem that I am reading that alot of the other riders are ahving. Every day that I ride I check...
My flats on the Michelin Carbons are always from road debris or thorns. I commute 200+ miles per week in the Phoenix area. I check my tire pressure every...
Very much agreed. Rim-edge flats caused by overinflation, or rolling-edge flats caused by unusual road hazards I fail to avoid because of inattention ("I Have...
Kelly: That's a lot of flats. Being in AZ, at least you don't have a lot of rain that you have to change them in! I saw your response that they're all due to...
I have had lots of flats that came from inside the rim. This is more common when I am using very high pressure tires, 150 - 170 psi. On rims that give me...
John: Strapping tape's a great idea! Since I don't have any, I think I'll try some Duct Tape -- it works for everything else! I actually had a 2 overnight...
Hi all - Some of you may have seen on the news where we've been getting a bit of rain here in California the past week or so. I've ridden through running water...
Tom: I'm jealous! I've just got the usual rain/snow/sleet mix to ride home through tonight. Some guys have all the fun. Fritz _____ From: Tom Schmitz...
... Do they EVER. I LOVE my disc brake (I have one on my front wheel, but the rear brake is a conventional V-brake). I didn't get that Schwinn DSX-240, of...
... This precisely mirrors my OWN experience. ;) For more detailed information on my journey to becoming a cyclist, check out Riin Gill's excellent article,...
... Well, I don't get this response much except in the WINTER. THEN, some people think I'm nuts trying to operate a bike on ice and snow. I generally respond...
... That reminds me of a recent encounter I had at work. It was snowing fairly heavy, and one of my coworkers came up to me and asked: "Did you take your...
... I've never tried one of those things. Mind you, if I ever did, it'd probably be second nature after folding my fiancee's wheelchair all these years... :P ...
... Not technically, but they DO allow me to store my bike in the cloak room. Hardly anyone uses it, anyway, so I pretty much have the whole room to myself....
... I had something like that happen to me yesterday when riding home in heavy snow, though it was a somewhat more friendly experience. A pickup truck passed...
... Well, if you were in the sidewalk, odds are he didn't see you which makes the whole incident your fault. So, if I were that cop, I would have nailed you...
... I'm willing to bet that there are a fair number of cops out there who don't think the rules of the road apply to them just because they ARE cops... :P John...
... You punched out a DOG? I didn't know that was possible. I thought their skulls were too thick. ... Disabled? If I may ask, what kind of disability? I...
... Actually, on occasion, I appreciate this behavior, particularly when I'm trying to turn left on a busy street with a continuous line of traffic coming at...
... Well, after having several a**holes riding on sidewalks nearly run down my fiancee in her wheelchair, I'm kinda sensitive to cyclists who break the rules...
