Sew-ups with slime? I can't even imagine how messy that must be when swapping tires. Yuck! -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ And why would it be messy to have slime in a sew-up aka tubular tire when changing tires? The slime is completely inside the tube which is inside an enclosed tire casing. Cheers Until it’s not. -- duane It'd be no more messier than slime inside a punctured inner tube on a clincher rim. In fact it might even be less messy as the tire casing of the tubular tire would still be supporting the tube when the tire was removed from the wheel. Cheers Sure but I’d never put slime in my tubes. ? -- duane I carry a small bottle of Stan's Tire Sealant IN CASE I puncture one of my tubular tires on a ride. I figure if I get a puncture on the second wheel I can put the Stan's into it and that should seal it until I get home. The ONE TIME I punctured both tires on a ride I didn't have any sealant and really wish I had had it then. I think of it as insurance - hope you never need but happy you have it if you do need it. Cheers I just carried a couple of extra tires folded under the seat and held on with an extra "toe strap" :-) If you've got a fair amount of glue on the rims and tires you can rip one tire off and have the other on in a minute or so and the "old" glue will hold well enough to get you home. -- cheers, John B. |

I suspect the gizmo had quite a few of those. It's not what I would choose. -- - Frank Krygowski |

Surely you would have no greater risk if snakebites with pressure of day, 90lb. Irless if your tires at 28mm or wider. I use 25mm wide tires but I still weigh over 210lbs, plus a fairly heavy load on the bike which has a steel frame. My goal is to drop down to my old fighting weight of 190lbs from decades ago but that is really tough. Harry Travis Portland OR USA From the problems that Joerg has often voiced, he rides a lot of gravel at high speeds. Yup, have to. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

Works in both directions. For example, try to find really good bacon in Europe. Ask yourself how good "bacon" can be if 85% of Bernays-brainwashed American tourists get by with a surrogate offerred by Danish spam producer Tulip. Real Americans can discern that from the real stuff :-) Try /ventrèche/: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventr%C3%A8che_(porc). It is quite hard to find anyway, even here. Now that stuff I wouldn't eat ... Come on, gallophobe, just tell yourself it's some kind of Saumagen con Obatzda, then you'll like it. Just thinking about Pfaelzer Saumagen makes me almost throw up. But stay away from candy bars and packaged cheese, some undergo special enrichment procedures before regular retail: https://www.facebook.com/DjvjpascalcpteII/videos/2383600805088247/?permPage=1 I do not eat any candy bars, Clif bars or any of that. On rides longer than 20mi or 30km I carry home-baked bread made from beer fermentation residue (trub). Looks like the girls also smuggled lots of BabyBel cheese. I like that. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |
